so my buddiy owned Coral Collection and my other buddy Mak coral. Matt aka All Clear was looking at it and said that he thinks it may be a Wild CC Pink Flamingo. He only had 1 come into the shop and didnt take a photo for the website. I'll snap some photos when i remember how to take photos with the lighting. this is the first tank ive ran with full LED setups.

Not yet. this is going to be my first nem tank build. but im pretty confident in my reefing ability. and definately would like to pickup sun burst. i'll hit him up!

I believe they are all bubble tips aside from the carpet which has a nice spot in the middle on the bottom of the tank.

Mixreef1 · 05/08/2021, 02:01 PM

What about colorado sun burst and black widow?

Lots of people have shared their experience with mixing high end nems in same system. I’m sure u have researched this already. I didn’t have any luck mixing inferno/csb myself.

Black widow wont mix with all them , if its big enough tank the carpet will be ok , if not carpet will not do well
Some experience some research

It's not about slime, parameters, algae, cyano, or your abilities as a reefer. They can sense each other's presence and just can't tolerate each other's presence. The CSB is usually the loser. Some call this chemical warfare.

i pretty solid with my water parameters. And my ability to reef may be a little rusty but my setup is top notch. I guess if it becomes a problem with keeping them all in one tank, I'll just have to convince the wife we need a second tank in the bedroom..lol

m0nkie · 05/09/2021, 11:57 PM

post progress pictures as you go. would love to see this

isseym328 · 05/10/2021, 11:21 AM

I have 6 nems in my tank currently including a CSB from Johnny (rest are wild). They are doing well and I do ~20% water change every week. This is not to say though that I've not lost other nems in this tank that just started shrinking and disappeared. A Chicago I bought earlier in the year did not make it.
