peacemaker's office nano 2

[peacemaker]

This is my 2nd attempt at keeping these orange yumas. The first I had melted for no reason, so I'm giving it another try. It came in a small rock, which is ideal for my tank size. It was quite cheap too!

[peacemaker]

I simply love these...

I fixed up the 3 plug digital timer today. Lighting sequence should be as follows:

7am: Actinic ON

9am: White ON

5pm: White OFF

7pm: Actinic OFF, LED moonlight ON

2am: LED moonlight OFF

I hope its not too extensive... would like my fishes to have ample rest as well. Its more for office hours. Pls feel free to give your suggestions on the lighting timing.

Bought a pair of cleaner shrimp. I'm still not sure about the difference between the brownish tint and the fair, white types. These guys are really small and cute, just like the pair I had before when I first bought them.

Hahaha... looks like it, doesn't it? My black face orange zoas are on a very flat piece of rock. And the weirdest thing is ever since I started over (I'm using a very thin sand bed now), I get sand storm. The sand got blown over and thus covering the rock, minus the zoas. They are grown quite scattered over the rock, so it appears as if they grow on the sand. I think its the thorough cleaning of my equipment (wave makers) that put up a sand storm.

hey bro y do i have a feeling ur landscape looks shaky to me e liverocks?

too big a piece ?

If you're talking about the corals, I've shifted some of them to the sand bed. The GSP and blue polyps sit pretty snugly on the top, so they stay, with the blue mushrooms. The frogspawn slots into the hole perfectly, so no issues there. As for the rocks themselves, they are all solid. I have 2 electric blue hermits constantly testing the foundations as they bulldoze around, so no worries.

I used to keep many smaller rocks to do my scaping, but I can't get them to stay without tumbling. That's why I chose bigger rocks this time.

Sigh... the red zoas that I bought from a LFS kinda ruined things for me. The rest of my zoas have never been the same. I just did the Lugol's dip on all my zoas today. Found some creatures amongst them... looks like a sundial snail to me. I hope they will all recover.

I was without internet for almost 2 weeks as my modem died on me. Did a re-contract with my service provider in the recent Comex, and they delivered the modem today. I also bought a new semi-pro camera with a macro lens. Still learning how to take better shots.

Some updates: zoas...

I did a major "overhaul" of my tank. Now everything is in this box.

There are some plans on shifting my office to another location, so I'll be keeping it this way for easy moving.

I don't use a chiller... just the office air-con alone can keep my tank at 26^oC. I only use my desk fan during weekends, when the AC is off.
