Jonathan - it looks healthy, but I don't think it is growing necessarily. There isn't more of it, from what I can tell. I like it as a backdrop, especially since it doesn't take root.

GSMguy - That would be two RBTAs. If it becomes three, the tank will explode.

I love that stuff, but it nevers grows. Just sits there and finally dies. Tried it in the fuge, the display, and the QT. No luck. I do have some really cool fat-bladed grass growing in my fuge now, and I hope to pass it around once I have enough.

Thank you both. I need to clean the glass in that tank, but was working on the 280g reef today. Maybe this weekend I can scrape all the walls clean again, as I prefer this tank nice and focused on livestock and not have the distractions of dirty encrusted walls.

That is just a personal preference of mine.

Hey, looking good Marc, I had to look close to see the coraline on the walls. I guess the secret to a good nano is a 350 gal sump.

No, I've not seen it lately, but I have been looking for it. Remember it stayed out of sight for months, so I'd have to post a vigil if I want to really see it badly enough.

Wow Melev,I havent seen this thread since you started it.The nano is looking great and is coming along nicely.Good luck with those rbta's.When I had mines, they would split around once a month.It got to a point where I just started giving them away to local reefers because they were trying to take over the tank.

Hi Jorge! Thanks a lot. The nano is doing quite well, and it is a very nice thing to see when you first walk in the door.

And yes, those RBTAs are definitely hogging up the real estate, but at the same time I don't feel like trying to pull one out. The clowns are happy with their huge homes.

If I can find some really pretty clams, they'll be added in the future.

Marc,

Great tank and thread! I love the design of this tank. Wish I had one like just like it. It would look really nice in my office.

This time of year, the sun pours in through the front door during the afternoon, and I thought it would be nice to let the anemones soak up some real light.
