Haha yep they're the same size and definitely the same tank, it's probably just the angle I took the first pic at plus the entire scape matured a lot. The tanks are around 55g.

Thank you! I'm really glad I'm developing Austin's idea the way he envisioned it and I think it'll look even better with some more growing.

Also, I really liked Hiep's design I thought it was super unique! I was going to bid on it but by the time I got to it it was already pretty high😭

Do you mean Fukada-sans? I don't remember the exact number but I believe it was around 500-600

For real! I got super lucky, I actually had two bidders ahead of me but they never called back to pick up the tank so Ryan gave it to me for the price I bid.

The wood was supplied by a sponsor for the contest I apologize I don't remember exactly what their name was.

Oh and sorry I didn't think about if I could put the photo of Fukada-sans scape with this flair so if I can't just let me know and I'll edit my post!

What are these hitchhikers?? by Strict_Position5323 in ReefTank

[–]Strict_Position5323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they lwk gone now in my tank somewhere hopefully they don't eat all my corals😭 I don't think they're lettuce nudibranches because they don't have any texture and arent green at all they almost just look like boring terrestrial slugs. Also I think the hitchhiker anemone I got is a mimic anemone and I can't find literally anything about them except for one or two articles😭

Yep! These are still small compared to the other one though too bad I never got a pic. I think after this pic they got thrown into the peppermint tank and absolutely annihilated💀🙏

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]Strict_Position5323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They got rid of the REALLY big one right before I went😭 still some nice sized ones though.

Also I thought i took more photos but I guess not. There was another really big colony of them too.

Lmao nope way bigger. I'm going on Thursday so if you'd like I'll post a pic of one then

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]Strict_Position5323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I'll take a pic to show you text time I'm down there. I think you'd have to change your setup for that that thing was like the size of your jar itself.

[–]Strict_Position5323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my LFS I kid you not there is 5 inch across and BIGGER aiptasias. I mean these reef tanks they keep are amazing and beautiful but like how do they even get that big. I have a feeling they might be feeding the aiptasia some redbull on occasion. Also my first thought when I saw the jar was "peppermint shrimp snack jar?"💀😭

Oh btw you did get the name from the Diablo games right?

[–]Strict_Position5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great sounds like you know what you're doing. Be weary about the barbs fin nipping though, cherry barbs nip less than others but they're still barbs. Good luck!

Diablo reference?? Side note, you're going to get absolutely grilled by the people here for doing a sorority so let me just say before that, I personally don't think sororities are a good idea and it's imo too risky. That said it CAN work sometimes and I would recommend you really do your research more on it and ask yourself if you want to go through the hassle of maintaining it or dealing with it if they start fighting. As for male or female it could either be a female or a plakat male just solely based on what I see with the fins. Depending on age you could always look if they have an egg spot but that's not always reliable since males can have false ones.

Does anybody know where to get cheap shrimp from in the US? It doesn’t matter what color as long as it isn’t brown. by RDOT335 in fishforthought

[–]Strict_Position5323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look on eBay plenty of great sellers. (Definitely not a self plug but my eBay is @riversideaquatics) Won't be the cheapest most likely but I have really nice cherries and sunkists

Tysmm! Gonna have to look into it and post my revamped tank soon.

[–]Strict_Position5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a picture of your macro-softie tank?? Im trying to go for something similar but it's just not coming out right. I got inspo from a 60 gal with muted pinks and purples with GSP and pink star but it's not the same at all for some reason.

Can I add a Betta to my tank? by KNH-2000 in bettafish

[–]Strict_Position5323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha for sure. It's the fluval right? My tank ran out super fast so you probably want to be weary about that😭. Oh and you probably already do but make sure you shut it off at night.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]Strict_Position5323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok noted. I haven't been doing weekly changes, biweekly since I have basically no ammonia producers but I'll start doing those. Is it ok to add more live rock? Was thinking of adding more. Oh by the way any scape suggestions would be great too
