Colin, wow! That's lots for a 24. Do you use a skimmer, or just the basic tank setup (I believe I've read elsewhere you changed out the pump). But any skimmer/sump/etc...?

Nah, I just do weekly big water changes, have a huge cleanup crew, and use Purigen, phosban and chemi-pure in the back chambers.

I am thinking of setting up another small tank (12 gallons) and moving the assesor and firefish to that and getting something like a black and white clown in the 24, 6 is to many right now. Hopfully that will happen in the spring when I do some remodeling at home and find the room for another tank.

AquaPod 12g......
2 Black False Ocellaris and their BTA
1 Psudochromis
1 Sand Sifting Goby
1 Pacific Cleaner Shrimp
4 Cerith snails
3 Nassarius snails
4 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs
1 Very Large Margarita snail
Lobo open brain coral
Various Zoas
Green Star Polyps
Various shrooms

I modded the stock pump to a MJ900, and added a second MiniJet 606 with a HydorFlo deflector in the opposite corner of where the stock outflow is. Also added a Sapphire skimmer about a month ago.....made a HUGE difference.

My god man! That is really packed tight i guess.

[Illuminati]

lol, they all kind of have their own space. The YWG has his burrow. The pseudo is in the rocks 99% of the time, the assesor stays on the right side, the firefish stays on the left and the Flame runs the joint and goes wherever he wants. The neon I really don't count since he is so small.

Oh--I left out a key one. I bought 2 shaving brush plants for the 12g jbj cube. They are interesting...I thought they died off, then I realized they sent out shoots and new plants are growing. So far 4 shoots coming up.
Anyone know about these? I'm unclear if I need to do anything special for them.

Big time calcium users. I'd monitor your calcium levels.......

[Doglover_50]

good to know....my 4 clams in the big tank are sucking my calcium dry, so I've got all the right stuff and test kits to check and adjust!

[BiggySmalls]

hey jacksonpt how big is the lion? i was lookin in to 1 but i know a 10g is too small

[saltman123]

I would be nice to see some pictures to go with the descriptions ;)

[billr]

24G Aquapod

40 Lbs liverock
30 Lbs sand

3" sand sifting starfish
Diamond Goby
Clownfish
2 baby mollies
About 50 or so assorted snails

large 8 head torch coral
small 3 head hammer
3"x5" rock of star polups
4- 2" mushrooms on a 4"x4" rock
4"x6" rock of buttons
2"x2" rock of purple star polups
3" round long tenicle flower pot
3" round short tenicle plower pot
1" round x 7" long coral piece with multi colored star polups
2"x3" rock with long brown buttons ???
1"x 2" rock with "I dont now what" on it ???

I think that is it. The tank is really full. I do 20% weekly water changes and feed both the fish and the corals every other day. The tank is a calcium sucker. It is really hard to keep the calcium above 400 with all that is in the tank.

[Doglover_50]

anyone have a link or directions on how to post pix? I do have a photobucket account--just don't remember how to put it up here.

[gemini aquarius(t)]

just copy and past the last code

[Doglover_50]

I am concrete--and ignorant--so that thought doesn't help me about pictures.

When you are logged in to photobucket and are reviewing individual images, right below there are 3 different lines of code. Take the last line of code and simply copy/paste it into your post. This last line is called IMG Code.

If you are too ignorant to understand that, then you may need a better teacher than myself. have some faith in yourself.
