Conskis 34 Gal Solana Build

Nooooo.. stay away from long spine urchins.. just a PITA. I have one in my 29G that I inherited from someone breaking down their tank. They knock things over and hurt pretty bad when you accidentally get stuck by one of the spines. If you must get an urchin get a Tuxedo/Pincushion urchin.

I think a 14G is a little too small for any anemone unless that was the only thing in the tank with clowns. You have a bunch of leathers in that tank and an anemone + leathers probably would not be a good idea. Zoas and mushrooms are the only thing I would put with an anemone but even then in a 14G there is a high chance any other corals with the anemone will eventually get stung out of existense.
 
lol okay sounds good, cant wait until Wednesday!
 
Acliamting fish right now!
 
After 1 hour of acclimating they are in!

Im very excited right now and hope they do okay!

The "male" (basil) is out and about swimming int he current of the tank while Lord "female" is hiding towards the back of the tank!
 
both out swimming for the first time without fighting in months! exploring every nook and cranny :)

ohh how paitence prevails :)!
 
thank you! theyre doing the thing my old picaso did which i hated! they chose a spot in the tank in the corner and they just swim up and down there and never move.

im thinking about putting thier torch coral in there with them.
My nitrates are at 6
Alk 9
Salinity 1.025
Calcium 440

think it would be okay? im kinda hoping it would coax them into leaving that spot a little

I bought a tomato clown for my 14 gal he chills, likes to hide but im sure its cause hes nervious about the new setting,
 
i just went ahead and did it, itll be the only LPS in my tank.

i know theres a slight chance that a huge algae bloom could kill the coral but i dont think that it will, plus with only one coral in there for an entire month i dont think that the water params will be affected to much (im waiting for aces coral before i begin to buy my own, give my tank a bit more time to get established)

its probably the only thing im gonna rush just do i can stop being frusterated with my clowns and their little corner thing, just doesnt look natural
