ok, I'm a little baffeled, I haven't seen my YWG since yesterday afternoon, and I have not seen my RG in 2 days! I have heard no clicking, could my anemone be eating my fish? As you can see, my anemone is very small.

Lobo? It is beautiful What is the care for it?

Yes, all of the above and corals too I can't wait to see what it's going to look like

I really like this size Nano it is so neat looking.

I have never had clams either and would like to get a couple for the other tank. What kind do you like?

Really cute pic!

Maybe you YWG is getting use to it's new home hiding out. I hope that's whats going on.....

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**157** 02/17/2006, 03:02 PM

Still no sign of either my YWG or my RG. I'm worried something has eaten them!!!!! But if that's the case, why is my Rainsford ok, and all my tiny inverts?

Clams are awesome Mary, but you need MH to keep the maximas and croceas. I was able to keep clams in my 75 gallon, but if you remember, I had 2 light fixtures on the tank, not just one of the PC. These 2 clams in my tank are maximas.

Lobo is a brain, here is some info...

So, anyway, I'm still baffeled on the missing fish, and yes, I checked the floor, surrounding area and back chambers. Where i nthe world are they???????????

I did a 4 gallon water change today, everything looks good!

Looks great, watch out for the Anthelia's, they are like weeds and grow everywhere, especially under MH I think.

I want to put them in the 85 and it does have 400W 14K MH. So that should work OK.

Thanks for the link

How many inches are those clams Amanda? Did you have any luck with those real small clams you once had in your 75?

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**161** 02/17/2006, 06:17 PM

Ya, I know, but I love xenia!

UnderwaterExotic · #**162** 02/17/2006, 06:19 PM

Looking good! Where did you say you get your coral? It all has awesome color!

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**163** 02/17/2006, 07:16 PM

My maxima's are 2 1/2 and 3 inches. I have had great success with clams!

I got a lot of my coral from Phishybusiness some from Dr. Mac and some from Moby Dick's.

rjwilson37 · #**164** 02/17/2006, 07:30 PM

Here is a picture of my old tank with the Xenia Anthelia type, you can see them in the lower middle left. If you look on the far right side, you can see a little grouping of them in the reflection on the far right bottom rock.

Here is the same tank 6 months later, even after trimming them down. You can also see the trimed pieces got in the middle of the zoa's in the middle of the tank and started growing over my yellow zoa's which you can pretty much not see anymore.

Here it is 2 months later from the previous picture, and they were kinda taking over the right side of my tank. The only way to get them out was to remove the LR and scrub it off, or chisel it off which is what I did before I moved the LR to the 90g tank. I still got some growing and I am trying to clean it up, but it is taking over a little area.

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**165** 02/17/2006, 07:54 PM

RJ, ya, I know they grow fast, good fragging money though! Also, you had your anthelia on th ebottom, so it had to grow upwards. Mine is on a lone rock at the very top, so I'll just keep the sides trim. Amazing how much your tank has changed RJ!!! You are doing great!

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**166** 02/17/2006, 09:47 PM

I need help, I want to buy this rock, but I don't know how big it is. Are the little squares in the grate 1/2 inch or 1 inch?

It's only $55.
Amanda

robster · #**167** 02/17/2006, 09:49 PM

1/2"

Habu · #**168** 02/17/2006, 09:49 PM

I would think 1/2"

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**169** 02/17/2006, 09:52 PM

Nevermind, for $55. I can't pass this up. I will chisel th erock into smaller pieces and take som einto th estore for credit. Unless RJ wants some.

rjwilson37 · #**170** 02/17/2006, 10:00 PM

Those are nice, I am always up for some zoa's, you want a piece of my bright green cap.

That anthelia growing on the right is from the center when I was trimming it. They kinda get in places and start to grow like crazy once they settle in.

UnderwaterExotic · #**171** 02/17/2006, 10:22 PM

Do you have the site to Moby Dick, i am looking but am only finding UK dive sites!

AEALOVESHERGIRLS · #**172** 02/18/2006, 01:58 PM

RJ, it's a deal, some zoas for a frag of bright green cap!

Uderwaterexotic, there is no website, it's just a LFS for me.

OK, post and pics of the day coming up. I got some feather dusters, I took my Midas blenny back to th eLFS because he scared my YWG into hiding permanently, and I got 2 bumblebee shrimp and 4 glass anemone shrimp.
Also, my Lobo is really coming around! I have been spot feeding it and it's finally getting used to the lights. I'm very happy!

Sorry the pics are so blurry, I wasn't using my tripod and I had just dosed DT's.

Looking sweeeet, Amanda! Your pics are getting better already as well.

Remember, practice makes perfect - the more pics you take (and the more settings you play around with), the better your pics will become. Trust me, I learned this the hard way!

BiG_FiSH83 · #**174** 02/18/2006, 03:15 PM

I've seen you around Rc all the time during my sporadic lurking (always with flipturn too

) and your nano looks GORGEOUS, but then again Im not surprised.

A quick question maybe? The thought of killer hitchhikers like mantis' and nudi's that you might never find nevermind catch is a nightmare. Have you gotten any of the little guys yet?

cabbagehead · #**175** 02/18/2006, 03:16 PM

Great looking nano Amanda!! I'm sure you have noticed you are going to run out of room soon. I want to get a YWG for my 135 but all of the ones at my LFS are too small. You seem to have a gift at aquascaping. Good luck!!
