New addition: Fluval 205
Tank doing good! I was nervous about the nem at first...you know theres always a chance when you add something new that it's going to be picky or not do well...especially with an anemone. Coolest thing ever! My coral banded is shy...he doesnt like the heavy flow on the front of the rocks I think so he only comes out when I add mysid...kind of hangs out on the edge but is still visible...may still just be adjusting. The porcelain crab is rad...i didnt know anything about them before I got him really...he has two be fan filter things that look like sails. He sits on the top of rocks and holds his filters up and then sucks all the findings off of them. He's so pretty too. Also...I always thought anemones just kind of ate food that landed on them...wrong...first of all this thing is way bigger than I expected...he's opened up and probably trippled in size...not too big or anything...just not what I expected for $5 on ebay. When I added mysid, he grabs them out of the water...its so cool, I didnt realize they did that. I was planning on using a turkey baster to squirt the food at him but it looks like theres no need...Im not too stoked with where he's decided to anchor himself but he's still pretty visible. Of course he got right next to the filter intake so I had to move that as one of his tentacles was sucked in. Im going to get some sort of cloth/mesh to cover it with but until now it's angled so that its in the middle/top of the tank so nothing can get to it unless it's free floating or a fish...it just looks tacky. Having a lot of little white circles showing up on the back wall of my tank...Im assuming/hoping this is coraline? Like white circles with little white dots in the middle...think so guys? Corals are doing good too...my polyps are starting to look pretty neat...theyre growing it seems and it almost looks like half of them may be a different species/color than the other half...it's weird...one half is a solid color and the other half of the rock has polyps with a green/yellow kind of center. My mushrooms are growing a lot too it seems. The galaxia coral isnt doing as good as I had hoped...that rock is being taken over by fluffy violet colored algae and I dont know if the galaxia can kill it/ take it over? Should I clean it somehow? Nothing will eat the algae...anyways, everything is doing super!
