Eric's 100 gallon adventure. (Formally 40g)

And now you see why I don’t feel nems belong in a reef.

This is definitely a learning experience.

putting then in an island can help. I don’t think they’ll walk on sand. When I had mine on an island the only time I had an escapee was when one hitched a ride on a snail.

Based on my experience
- If it’s under water, a BTA will walk on it.
- If there’s a hole, a BTA will fit through it; even if you think it’s too small.
- An overflow looks like a fun water slide ride to a BTA, don’t think it won’t enjoy a ride to your sump.

Just caught one of my nems with its foot on the glass and all of its tentacles through the overflow grille.

So I got rid of the walking nem. Luckily he only took out a few polyps of some stargazer zoas I got from @Rostato. I also just picked up and installed some reef bright leds on my xr30 I just got from @Meshmez. Way better coverage now.

I want a frag!

 

[Srt4eric]

My new elegance is opened nicely. I heard these are easy to frag. Does anyone have any experience fragging these?

 

[Baykes]

I would say that they are the opposite and difficult to frag. But @Coral reefer has fragged a dbtc one several times

 

[ashburn2k]

This shouldn’t be the first coral you frag unless you are comfortable cutting it down in the middle. Also bandsaw is recommended.

Ive done it several times. Not too hard.

I also just picked up a BRS 7 stage 100GPD ro/di system. So I'm going to start making my own salt water this week.

Nice job. You won't regret it!

So I just had my first death. Just found my lawnmower blenny behind the rocks. Kinda sad, I really liked that guy.
I have two clowns and two pajama cardinals in this tank. I was thinking of getting a goby / shrimp pair. What other fish would you guys recommend in this tank.

 

[Adit0]

a dwarf angel of some sort

Royal gramma.
