NEW FISH AND SOFT CORALS - Marine nano tank update 11-10-11

[teddy5615]

so how much did this all cost? If you can say it in US dollars that would be great

[AquaticRoyalty]

You have stacked your live rock too close to the edges of the tank. Once your tank matures, coraline deposits and scum will accumulate in those hard-to-reach areas. It will be a pain to clean down the road if you don't move it.

thumbs up lol I'm here to back you up ;)

[ADDICTED2BASS1211]

Looking good mate.

[bolly12345]

@ADDICTED2BASS1211 Thanks buddy

[TheHobdenMarina]

3:00 Hey marc those kind of look like Manjo anenomes (BAD) Its like aiptasia, only trickier to remove once its spread (or so my research tells me) If its redish brown with a green center as it looks to be, I'd kill it with some aiptasia killer before it spreads. just fyi I had one with my aiptasia, but I think I got them

[TheHobdenMarina]

@TheHobdenMarina they also kind of look like Zoanthids though, but being a novice, lol I cant be 100% sure

[bolly12345]

@TheHobdenMarina I would be killing perfectly good soft coral :(

Green Sea Mat (Zoanthus sociatus)

[TheHobdenMarina]

@bolly12345 lol again I'm a novice so my mistake I thought it might have been either a manjo or zoanthid but zoanthids are super nice the cover the rock very quickly :)  you say your pre just threw those in? That's lucky your pcs must have a pretty nice guy there Haha

[zainstudioproduction]

you just cover the best aspects about setting up tanks and i can't wait for more fish to be added. and u also got me obssessed with ur african fish aswell which is amazing so thanks. i just had to subscribe!

[bolly12345]

@zainstudioproduction New Wild Caught African Cichlids coming this friday - watch out for the video :)

[ReefCollege]

very nice

[djrichimc]

hi bolly, nice update, i set up 15gal salt water yesterday i went to gaz in rhyl, i dont know anything my self but got some good advice from him, got 5.5k of rock and 60ltr of ro water from him, i will upload a vid asap

[bolly12345]

@djrichimc Nice one buddy, did you say you watched the videos? He knows his stuff!

[djrichimc]

@bolly12345 EA i sayed i seen some guy on youtube who just set a up a nano tank, and he sayed ohh is it bolly lol, my question is with live sand and live rock but NO fish will there be ammonia present to cycle the tank, thanks m8

[bolly12345]

@djrichimc I found ammonia present - I think it was due to some of the live rock dying off slightly. Test the water everyday and monitor for any big changes. Once stable for a week you're on to a winner.

[walsallcrew]

Bolly. You know your gonna be selling those Africans soon to get a full on coral tank?

[bolly12345]

@walsallcrew I would love a full on coral tank but I would never sell my Africans to fund it because that's my true passion when it comes to fish keeping ;)

[1066Sussex]

Nice fish Mark, keep the vids coming m8 : )

[bolly12345]

@1066Sussex I've got a few more videos that will be up this week mate

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

[bolly12345]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr Hi Wayne, I really like the look of the Red cherry shrimps

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@bolly12345 wait freshwater cherry shrimp or red peppermint shirimp sw

[bolly12345]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr sorry just another name our local fish shops use for red cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) is that the one your on about? Red with White stripes?
