"Nano Version 1.0"

[Palyanna]

So did most of them grow out or did you buy a lot more?

Florida Ricordea grow very slow. I have had some stretch out and successfully propagate by splitting - even that takes a long time from start to finish. Basically, I continued adding to my "collection" until a few months ago. I think I am nearing full capacity . . .

very nice.

Thank you. :smile:

what kind of tank is that, biocube, nanocube?

It's a little 14 gallon Oceanic BioCube.

Sweet, I have one of those. What kind of mods have you done to it?

Nothing besides removing the hood and adding a glass top, upgrading to a Coralife 150 watt MH pendant and adding a Vortech MP10.

DANG A MIGHTY!!! Such beauty all in one place! I am amazed by your ricordia tank! I have trouble getting just one to stay in place much less getting them to split! Please share your secrets! Debbie

May be the best looking ric nano Ive ever seen. Glad your vision worked out. Most tanks dont even look that good in your head.

Thank you Debbie. As far as secrets go, I try to keep current with water changes. It is difficult to supplement in such a small tank. Frequent water changes have provided the best results.

I am totally addicted to Ricordea! There, I admitted it. :tongue: I hear that you have quite a collection yourself?!

That Flouresence shot is amazing....beautiful tank!! I was curious what are the zoas that are yellow purple and red....it was the last pic of the group shots above....funny how you have a tank full of rics and i ask about a zoa LOL....i love your rics though too!!!

Thanks. They are some form of deep water zoanthids with no special name. They look equally gorgeous day and night. I wanted to purchase a colony of them when one of my suppliers sent me a preview pic. He was unable to part with the whole colony; but, sent me a couple polyp "freebie" frag as a thank you in one of my shipments. They seem to be doing pretty well. Not a fast grower; but, very pretty. I am glad they are prominently displayed in my nano. I hope that over time they will take off.

This is a FANTASTIC looking tank... What a great job..

Thank you.

Thanks. Actually, if you scroll back through the posts, there is a daylight FTS and a flourescence FTS.

I think Ricordea are cute, too. Plus, who couldn't love something that comes in so many pretty colors?!

Only chix with guns!!!!

Very nice looking tank, Wendy, I love the colors and learned that Zoas and Rics can cohabitate and not kill each other.
