Hey yours is looking good too ! I like nanocubes, I've seen a lot of great corals in naocubes. The LFS I go to has a pair of clowns and an anemone in one. The only thing it runs a little too warm, so they had to put a chiller on it !
Oh talking of chillers, huuuuge diversion here, sorry, but we've just had the greatest idea (in all modesty). In our supermarkets, they sold Calippo-shaped ice lolly cones (don't know if it's the same brand name in the US, so here's some pictures of a calippo stick: http://images.google.com/images?um=1...3Aen&q=calippo). Anyway, so we filled them with:
1/ creme de menthe / water;
2/ 4 roses bourbon and coke;
3/ creme de chocolat / amaretto
and waited until they froze.
We had some friends over and it was a huuuge success. You should totally try the creme de menthe ones if you're having a hot summer!
P.S. Kids, this is for adults only, please don't try this yourselves.

I was thinking I might have some problems buying some of that here

Not a lot seem to and you have to usually add more flow because the pumps are low. They are good for beginners and DIYers. If you wanted hard corals you would have to mod it.
Cool Pixs!!! I just love saltwater fish... they are so beautiful with amazing markings. Like your manderin and the blue tang! wowwoww is all I can say! If it wasnt so expensive and hard to care for, I wish I would be able to do a SW tank. Well.. maybe some day! Thanks for sharing the photos.. every now and then I love to pop over to the saltwater section just so that I can see these fantastic photos!!
what type of anemone is that in the corner with the clowns? it's a beauty! i'd love one of those in a SW tank when we get one and i'd say that sun coral is my fav. of the corals that i've seen.

Thanks !! It's a little more money to get started and about the same to care for. Come and join the fun.

It's a Green Bubble Tip Anemone (GBTA). It's doing better now, you can tell by the brown color it's betting back (their symbiotic zooxanthellae algae). As for the sun coral, I will try to get a picture of it eating tonight !
Here is the sun coral opening as lights start to cycle off. They feed at night.
i see.. it sounds like a lot more work than a FW tank, but i think if we research and are prepared before doing a SW tank, it could turn out well and be worth it.
too cool. what do they eat? i see there's a lot of studying of anemone and corals to do...
They basically eat anything they can catch in the water column. I supplement feed them mysid shrimp and cyclopezee every other day.
I buy cyclopezee at my LFS. Most don't carry it. You can buy it on line, but shipping can get expensive due to the overnight charges. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...47&N=2004+6120
I buy a different brand (that I can't check right now-I'm at work) for @ $12 a frozen bar.
Oh my gosh..your tank is so pretty.. I love it so much...it seems like the perfect envirorment for your fish...a perfect place to be happy! your tank really is a beautiful beautiful tank. You have so many different beautiful corals...aww im just in love with it. It looks like you just scooped it right out of the ocean...Its really something to admire..keep showing pics!!!!
Thanks for all the encouraging comments !
The fish always seem happy (well feed) LOL . Corals do OK if I keep the tank temp down. Though this is hard in my living room (hottest room in the house).
