Here's a new project extreme reefing... Fempto (ten to the negative nineteen power)
Tank 1-4 oz tank. Dosing pump for flow and top off.
Inhabitants 1 small rock fragment, 2 amphipods and a single polyp . Light with a hallogen mini mag flashlight. Heating will be an issue, maybe a water bath. What do you think?

Actually, femto- is ten to the negative 15, ten to the negative 18 (19 is not a multiple of 3) is atto-. My favorite: zepto- (negative 21).

nihonjin, are you using your aptasia for Berghia (spelling?) rearing? Been thinking about it...

Nope. There was one in the sand, so I scooped it up with a clean test tube. There was a good thread about Berghia in the Reef Discussion forum.

Amphiprionocellari I stand corrected. Nice test tube tank! What about flow?

Ronald, I read that aptasia actually don't need any flow for survival...at least as long as you need it to live to feed a hungry nudibranch...I think they will survive nuclear armageddon along with the roaches and hydroids (oh yeah, did I leave my mother in law out? :lol: )
