4.5 Gallon Pico Reef

In the course of waiting for the viper I recently went to the lfs. I got the little tang and some nice torch coral. The guys there said they could get me the viper about two weeks after the new year! But they could get me a Sunpod this thursday or friday so I opted for the Sunpod.

Im starting to feel like my viper is never going to come

Thinking there may have been a mini cycle as the caulerpa (especially the feather caulp) growth is BOOMING. Oh well, looks really nice

Probably adding a curly q anemone next week, hope it gets along nicely with my other inhabitants.

Was gonna take and upload new pics but didnt get around to it so...use your imagination...

I am going to be completely honest here... those nemo tanks are absolute monstrocities. We can only hope people don't put a living 'Nemo' and 'Dory' in them.

imagine how goofy and weird that thing would look if nemo were a frog fish...

Alright here are some new pics, just added a sun coral frag from the other tank. It opened up and accepted mysis as soon as I added it, I was very suprised. I also used some of those mysis to feed the aiptasia nem which is not visible in the pic. Later this week I'll be adding new lights, a curly que nem, and hopefully the mantis will be here soon


Before:

After:

By the way, excuse the droopy corals, this pic was taken only a short while after the lights came on. Usually the shrooms and kenya are MUCH MUCH larger
