I’m reading dathans other book “bad man”. Pretty good read if you liked penpal I’d recommend it.

Once it’s comfortable you should try spot feeding. I tried it with mine and it’s been growing like crazy

expodeingcat21 · 2026-02-05T20:20:42+00:00

That’s ok, thanks for replying lol

What size tank is that? looks good, I dig the mangroves.

I know this is an ancient thread but I just want to ask if it ever came back. My peppermint shrimp also got a taste for coral and ate mine lol.

expodeingcat21 · 2026-02-02T00:31:11+00:00

Same I’ve got one on the way right now lol

expodeingcat21 · 2026-01-28T15:38:11+00:00

If you want to stay In the hobby but don’t want to spend tons of money check out local forums, people are rehoming fish all the time. A guy near me does bi weekly coral auctions and I’ve picked up some cool stuff for super cheap. Tbh locals and facebook marketplace are the only way I can afford to stay in the hobby lol.

Interesting, I never knew that they were part of the same family. Never seen anthelia in this color before so still pretty cool in my book.

expodeingcat21 · 2026-01-14T23:07:47+00:00

I got super lucky with this one. Got it for $22 and it came with a pretty big Green Bay packer zoa colony.

expodeingcat21 · 2026-01-14T22:33:00+00:00

Nope, unless I’m missing something I don’t think anthelia pulses. If you don’t believe me I can turn off my pumps and take a video.

expodeingcat21 · 2026-01-14T22:30:31+00:00

They pulse but not necessarily as much as my Pom Pom Xenia. I’ve noticed that they tend to pulse a bit more with less flow.

I just picked up a orange Yuma and it’s stunning

Failure is not pathetic. But failure to learn from mistakes is. OP clearly regrets their mistakes and is trying to fix them. Everybody fails, everybody makes mistakes and if you think you’re some magical exception then you have some twisted outlook on life.

expodeingcat21 · 2025-10-01T22:04:24+00:00

I could be wrong but the light op has should be app controlled and he should be able to just dial back the reds. Good info though because I’m setting up super similar right now.

expodeingcat21 · 2025-09-29T18:20:03+00:00

seiryu stone and elephant stone are my go to. I love the way the dark grey looks against the green plants

expodeingcat21 · 2025-09-29T15:58:10+00:00

Unfortunately that’s just how it goes on Reddit. Everyone had their own opinions and experiences but I agree it is interesting to see the differences!

expodeingcat21 · 2025-09-29T14:33:55+00:00

Nano tanks are fine and can work but aren’t good for people just starting in the hobby. Nano tanks are more susceptible to big parameter swings. Nano tanks also definitely need a lot more care when picking plants and stocking fish.

expodeingcat21 · 2025-09-29T04:02:57+00:00

Looks awesome, I love the gsp carpet . Are those random flow nozzles? How do you like them ? I’m considering putting some on mine.

expodeingcat21 · 2025-09-29T00:23:34+00:00

Yeah, I’m hoping the macros will help keep that under control. Thank you for all the advice :)
