you can glue them together.

And with the pics above, i seriously need to get a new camera! sheesh. puts my pics to shame.

Those are live rock but in a fish only system they are probably best kept in a separate refugium. If they have light they grow stuff on them and are hard to clean. In the reef tank everything competes until a balance is struck.This balance shifts around a bit.
My rocks are just piled up but they can be glued together with a putty epoxy or gelled super glue.

These pics are amazing! Thanks to everyone who shared them.


Chris…….

Cant find my firefish put him in the tank saw him saturday morning when i fed the tank, and now, no sign! is this normal behavior?

[Wolfgang]

yes. they will be shy for a week or two. Allow up to 3 days before they eat in your tank.

Just think if you moved from a 3' by 3' room into the taj mahal would you want to waste time eating or would you be exploring all the fun awesome stuff?

I was missing my new dottyback for two weeks. When it finally came out it looked starved. Now it's starting to fight back against the damsels and they better learn some respect as the dottyback will get bigger and badder than them. Damsels can hold their own, though. Wiki says firefish are leapers. I lost a couple of fish out of my nano tank because they leaped out.

Nice pic.

thank you, I just noticed all the nice coraline algae on the rocks too. Guess Im on the right road.

My Percula Clowns finally spawned. I was told it was only a matter of time. None of the offspring will survive, probably, but it's still pretty cool.

Yep

Domn you sons of *****es!!!! I've got the itch again!!!!! (and I only read to page 11) I worked at a pet store in college and had a 55gal reef setup. (sorry no pictures,as it was when digital cams were too expensive for a college kid). And then when we were in our townhouse we had a 12 gal nanocube. It was more work that I had time for, being such a small tank. If we weren't looking to move in the next 1.5-2yrs, I'd prolly be setting up one again, or would have done it before. Dammit! How do I scratch this itch now, you arseholes.

This tread is directly responsible for the fact that I have a reef tank. haha.

JUST DO IT!

Hey guys, my tank blew up again last week, that was the third major leak.
I gave up on it and bought an extra high 30 gallon cause my light fit it. I'm going to buy a bigger, higher one later when I have a chance. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
Anyways...
Today I had my first coral division deal happen.
This coral used to be kidney shaped. It never occurred to me that it was planning on dividing.
Today I went to feed my fish and noticed the one side was inside out and I could see it has divided into two distinct pieces. It's pretty cool cause my stuff is growing well if it's not dying.
I've had a couple snails die lately that must have gotten trapped between rocks, so my water has been screwed up and I've been changing a lot. It's a pain.
So here's the pic, sorry it sucks.

Looks good. You might want to try an Emerald Crab in there if the bubble algae gets to prolific.
