mrjoshua82 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hey everyone, I just recently joined pnwmas! I look forward to being a part of this organization. I am a new-b to marine aquariums and I have a 12gallon nano. Here is a not-so-great picture of our aquarium taken by my camera phone. I will provide a better pic and info on what I have soon. Let me know what you think:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Welcome aboard! Tank looks great and what mods have you done to it if any? I know there are a few things you can do to those. My son has one and it is great. But just give it time and you will be itching to go bigger(laugh) Once the bug bites look out there is no cureDOH!

dsoz Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nice to see you make it here (finally). Nice looking tank. Maybe we can do a trade for some of those yellow polyps. LMK. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjoshua82 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 hey thanks for the warm welcome:-) Thought I would let y'all know what's inside my tank...I was too tired to do it in my first post and it's not too clear from the pic. I have 2 true percula, 5 hermits, 3 sexy shrimp, 4 astrea snails, several hitchhiker stomatella snails, 1 rapidly growing pulsing xenia that will certainly have to be fragged soon, couple orange ricordea, several green striped mushrooms, a small yellow polyp colony, small zoanthid colony, and a partridge in a pear tree! The tank is relatively new (1.5-2months old) but everything seems to be loving life and thriving...so far so great. I may also add a flaming prawn goby if I can ever find one, but that will be the extent of the fish. I am looking forward to adding more corals and would appreciate any suggestions on corals that are good for nano tanks that will add diversity as well as color. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 1 rapidly growing pulsing xenia that will certainly have to be fragged soon Don't bother fragging the xenia. When it starts to get too big, it will split on its own. I started with one last year, and now have about 30. That does not include the many stalks that I have given to anyone that will take them. I am to the point where I am going to start flushing them down the toilet so they don't take over my tank. Do you want some more??? You can have them for free. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjoshua82 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 That is good to know. I've heard they can become pests. Mine quadrupled in size in 10 days. I'm keeping my eye on it:-) Considering my tank is only 12 gallons, I cant have xenia rampaging all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
