Pics of my 10g nano

[TwistedGA]

Just wanted to share some pics of my tank!

Does anyone know what type of snail this is?

 

[DarthPadre]

Cool pics. At first I thought you were asking about the Turbo, but then saw the tiny arrow. That looks like a Margarita, but I'm always wrong about these things.

 

[TwistedGA]

Thanks for answering. I also found a starfish in my tank today. Anyone know what type it is?

 

[di0nysus]

that would be a asterina starfish. if you plan on having a reef those starfish are known to eat at polyps. The snail looks like a sundial snail also known to eat polyps

 

[TwistedGA]

Ok, thanks for your help!

 

[DarthPadre]

Here's a good picture of a Sundial so you can check. Since I think your tank's a FOWLR you don't have to get rid of the SF. Cool!

I am really excited about the starfish!! I found another one too! It's so tiny. The pic isn't great but I am hoping someone could help me identify it. Does anyone know what type this one is? Thanks for all the help!

just seeing the viberant color of the clownfish makes me want to make a sw tank. maybe one of these days when I got the cash I'll give it a go but for now I'll stick with the next best thing. my cichlids . But u have a good looking tank. just one suggestion. I would drop the heater down below the rocks so it's less visible and gives it a cleaner more natural look. just my 2 cents.

 

[TwistedGA]

Yeah I totally agree. I am going to buy a smaller one soon. Thanks for the comment!

Upgraded from a 10g to a 20g long. I was doing a FOWLR but everyone knows how that goes. I got my new light. It 2x65w actnic and daylight. Still got a few more things to get before I get some soft corals. I can't wait!

Your tank looks great. So clean. And you got a LOL on the "...everyone knows how that goes." I was wondering how long it was going to take you.

I've gotten a lot of great advice on MFT, but the best so far has been to locate a local reef club. I found one online. So far I've adopted 5 pieces of coral and a featherduster completely free. You can get common zoa frags for $5-$7, toadstool frags for $3-$5 (though I suggest you buy a full toadstool and frag it yourself - one of the easiest to frag and very hearty), mushrooms for $3-$8, and even LR for $2/lb. Fiji and $3/lb. Tongan.

 

[TwistedGA]

Thanks! Yeah, I knew I would give in. I was just seeing how long I could go without. lol I bought some frags today from EliteReefs. They will be here June 11. I wll post some more pics when they get here.

Yeah, the FOWLR doesn't seem to last too long

 

[TwistedGA]

Got my frags!!!! Got some Eagle Eyes, Mango Tango and some Galileo Pe's. They have not opened up yet but one is starting to! Sorry the pics aren't great but hope you enjoy!
I will post more when they open up!

 

[twiant]

Very cool, I love clown fish.

I got some of those mango tangos last month with some fireflys and the 1 fireflys never opened up and melted away.. Pretty bummed b/c the only reason I ordered was for the fireflys.. Those PE's looked bad ass in the flyer would be interested in seeing em not zoomed in 100 times

 

[TwistedGA]

Well my mango tangos and eagle eyes have opened up! My pe's aren't doing well. 2 are starting to turn brown. The other 2 still look fine but they haven't opened. What do you do when some are dying?

 

[TwistedGA]

here are a few more pics.

Good to see the zoas have opened up!

Took some new shots, still working on getting better quality out of this POS point and shoot. It's a 4.1mp Sony CyberShot with a DIY macro attachment.
There may be some that are really similar, I had a hard time "not" uploading them all.. LOL
