Back in the game!

wozza · 08-12-2008, 04:58 PM

Hey guys have been out of the game for the best part of a year.
But im back again WOOP!!!

I got a somewhat smaller tank than before, from 60gal to 2.5gal but it’s a really smart little tank and it comes with 2x T5s one actinic and one 10000k.
Built in trickle filter but im only going to use it for flow plus another tiny 400lph pump.

Its going to be a invert only tank, the plan is to have lots of shroom’s and zoa’s and im going to try a frag of torch coral see how it goes. Other than that its going to either have a arrow head crab if I can get one or a boxing shrimp.

What do you think?

Cheers James

Hey wozza,

Watch that torch, they can grow pretty quick and would take up your real estate fast.

Welcome back James!!!! It will be neat to see the progress here.

I do agree with Reefland tho, watch the torch, they can be real aggressive also.

wozza · 08-13-2008, 01:55 PM

cheers guys, i have missed having a tank so much.

do u think the torch would be able to survive under the lights i have? and if is, do u think most common LPS would survive under them?

***Reefland*** · 08-13-2008, 04:18 PM

In general, I think they would do fine with the lighting.

wozza · 08-13-2008, 04:48 PM

wow well that turns my plan right upside down. it was gonna be a softy tank, but if LPS can live in there then i may have to rethink my stocking plan.....hmmmmm any ideas people. i dont realy know much about LPS.

i know i want a trumpet, and maybe a samll fungia, and other ideas, things that dont have long sweepers. like the afore mantioned torch????

**charlie** · 08-13-2008, 09:32 PM

You made 2 good choices right there, maybe a lobophyllia???

Welcome back James! Make sure to keep an eye on that Nano, the SG can swing daily if you don't keep the evaporation in check.
