The 10L GSP lawn

[coral1]

coming along nicely

Yep, must admit I am planning on stealing a few of the scape ideas you have employed in this build.

And thats about the highest compliment I give lol

[Kah]

Thanks fellas! :D

I am in the process of giving the branching piece the the rear right a base for some stability. Right now only the sand and glass holds it up and in such a small space that does not mean a whole lot of stability.

Deciding if I mould one out of aquarium epoxy or try to stick it to another rock. Moulding it's own base sounds better the more I think about it though.

[funebris]

If you mold the base you can then hide the putty with sand too.
The best type of putty, is unseen putty!

Spotted something suspicious on my GSP colony.

1.5-2cm long. Good or bad?

I am thinking that I should at least get rid of the eggs. heh.

Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on that seaslug. It had another batch of eggs yesterday which was also removed.
Aside from that though it doesnt seem to be capable of out eating the GSP growth rate. Could make a decent reef safe sea slug as long as the numbers are controlled hahaha.

Tank shot for the day:


The other colony of GSP has started doing its thing and has begun spreading over the rock too!


And here is some snaps of some of the zoas I have in there:

These are powder blue.


The one mid left has the nice red but I cant seem to get any photos that show it off nicely.


And a colony of red fringed blue center zoa.



Same zoas as before, but under blue lights and taken with a DSLR instead of my phone.

I figured it was about time to remove the original GSP colonies now that they have spread onto the rock that is to be the base for the "Lawn".
Scalpel time!

I left the nudibranch in there as it seems to be sustainable.

Bonus video tour of the GSP lawn as it is today!

I added a pair of anemone shrimp yesterday and will try and get a picture once the debris settles from the water change.
Cool little things they are.

...and here they are!







It was feeding time. There are only two of them and the bottom two photos are of the same individual.

The acan studded rock has gone in!

It's to the left, and partially conceals the AC50 intake.

Silly crab - you're covering the acans!

Frontal shot, slightly angled to stop my phone reflection showing.


I intend to move out those frag tiles soon. Just the zoos on them are doing so well makes me want to leave them where they are as long as possible.

My par30 bulb should be on its way soon too.

Sadly both the shrimp have jumped.

Do any of the admins know if the forums have a spoiler tag set up that will allow me to collapse the images in older posts so that there is less scrolling needed to view the thread?

Better pictures taken during daytime because the last ones were taken at night with the light turned on.




I need to swap to a black phone! hahaha.
