Cooll you can keep every thing in a tank that size with a light that size.

Well the pistol wars are over. My pistol shrimp killed the hitchiker shrimp. But I got a new coral

Here are some over the top of the tank pics.

I'm getting my SunPod this week hopefully!

 

[nanocubeking]

Finally got the Sunpod today!

The lighting ceromony.

Then the lights on.

Then the first hard coral.

Looking good pal. Keep it up

What other corals would go good in this tank?

I think you should get a few bright coloured zoanthid colonies as I find them really attractive and I believe they will add even more colour to your tank. Also a couple of ricordeas or normal shrooms would be good as well...

 

[nanocubeking]

I know exactly what you mean. It is a little bland to me (colorless I guess?)

Mate dont get me wrong, it looks brill just the way it is, but if your anything like me then you'll want to get the most out of it and I think adding a few zoa's and shrooms etc will give it that little finishing touch...

I'll tell you one thing that I think would make it look really stunning... a sun coral just in that cave you have on the right of the centre. I recently got myself a sun coral and they are nowhere near as hard to look after as people make them out to be. The only thing is they require feeding as they aren't photsynthetic like most corals, but I tell ya they defo are worth it. Mine stands out more than the anything else in the tank!!

 

[nanocubeking]

That would be great but the smallest size you find at my lfs are about the size of a baseball or fist sized.

 

[1entra]

Cant you get them to frag one so you can have a half or less?

Also I'm not saying get it straight away, it's just sumat you can keep your esyes peeled for when ever your out fish shopping!

 

[nanocubeking]

They complain about that killing them.

 

[1entra]

Really? Surely you can frag sun coral cant ya? If not then jsu stick with what you can get like zoas and shrooms. I'm sure sooner or later you'll get hold of one. I searched everywhere for months before I finally found a shop that had just the one in and I bought it straight away!
