This is my new bc29. This is being setup for a pair of GSM clowns. So far the cube is stock with crushed coral substrate and some nice rock I got from carong.

That looks awesome Steve. Kinda makes me wish I didn't go foam crazy with mine.

[txav8r]

Looking good, Stephen

[Europhyllia]

You should have kept some of that awesome dragons breath! Do you want some back? It would look nice since you're going for the macro look. :)

[txg8gxp]

Yea, I should have kept some. I have one place I can get some, but if not I will let you know.

[Double-O-Zilch]

Awesome Steve!

[Europhyllia]

what is the fabulous fuzzy thing? mushrooms?

[txg8gxp]

Lavender hairy mushroom I believe they are called. Saabtech has alot of them. They are pretty cool, I feed them a big chunck of squid and they went nuts....it was pretty cool. It's cool to have some shrooms, because I would never allow anything like that in my 57g.

[txav8r]

Watch out for those palys. They grow like weeds. I've been trying to get rid of them for over a year.

[txg8gxp]

Yea, they seem to grow like crazy. But I'm totally fine with that...only in this tank. They have only been in that spot for a week or two and they are already growing on the rock. I don't mind if the stuff grows everywhere. I even added some xenia. I want it all over grown and crazy looking. Now all I need is GSP, Yellow star polyps, and maybe even a kenya tree.

[FireWater]

I have a small chunk of GSP for you at work. You want it?

[txg8gxp]

Yes, Please...

[txav8r]

Me too. I've got a ton of GSP and yellow polyps if you need more than John has.

[txg8gxp]

John is going to hook me up with some GSP, but I would like some yellow polyps. Thanks guys...

[txav8r]

You got it.

[RayAllen]

Looking Good! I love my BC29.

[txg8gxp]

A few pics. I really like this tank, once I get rid of the last algae/etc. it should look pretty good.

[txg8gxp]

Ok.....I'm super excited. I got a small anemone from kevin(saabtech). It was too crazy, as soon as I put it in the tank the male rushed right over and setup camp. The male loves it's new buddy, it just stay playing in the anemone now. :) Very cool.

[txg8gxp]

Next morning and the male is still having too much fun, very cool.

[Europhyllia]

that's a great big fish and a very little anemone! :D

[StevenSeas]

Make sure the clown doesnt "love" the anem. to death, can be a problem if the clown is too big for the anem. and keeps hosting in it without giving it a break

[txg8gxp]

Good point, something to look for...but so far they both seem to like it.

Looks funny huh....the clown is only about 2" if that.

[saabtech]

thats the same size clown that hosted it in my tank. it should fair well. and maybe some time it will split and the clown will host in the two neighboring anemones.
looks cool!
