JamesL Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks like it is off to a great start! Thanks! I am very happy with it so far. I am having some issues with the sexy shrimp, I know that they will sometimes eat zoas if not will fed and they do not seem to be eating them, but they mess with them causing my zoas not to come out. If you just added the zoas, the shrimp could be just checking them out looking for good bits to eat on the frag. But it is probably a good idea to keep an eye on them (I have never kept sexy shrimp before though ... so don't take my word as definitive advice ).

They have been in there for a while.. but I havent been keeping up with the target feeding like I need to, so hopefully I can keep up with that and they will be fine! We will see! ....what is the penalty (if any) if I have to sell them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gott Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah! I love it! The camera adds alot more blue than it really is. So I will probably add a small lunar strip to add more pop from them throughout the day. I got a lot of blue on my latest pico, a 1.7g, from just two of the true lumen 3 LED lunar strips. They really bring out the fluorescent pigments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Gott Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 That's the biggest advantage to doing picos! Everything is soooo much more affordable, lwj! Plus it can be really fun to do species tanks with 'em. I love what you're have done with the 'scaping of this so far though--are you going to add much more, or let what you've got grow out?

scubasteve92 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 I am wanting to just do a very colorful tank, with only rics, zoas, and palyps. I love what you're have done with the 'scaping of this so far though Thanks! I am adding a few more frags from my 20g and maybe a small frag of a high dollar zoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be breaking it down and selling it. thanks, Joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
