Idea for my biocube? what do you guys think?

Post by Gz28 » Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:56 am

I was looking at my tanks today and i think i am tired of both of my tanks having the same coral in it. I started looking online and saw zoanthids and mushrooms inclueding ricordia's that was just every color you could imagine, it is crazy how many different colors their are. so i started thinking zoa's and mushrooms do so well in my biocube why not make the whole tank nothing but zoas and mushrooms just every differnt color i can get my hands on, do you think this would look good or would only 2 types of coral be boreing? I am thinking that their are so many different colors that it would not be boreing. Thanks for your opinions. :-)

I would skip the Mushrooms, they tend to take over a tank, I would do the zoas and recordias. LARC is in the beginning stages of a Recordia group buy right now, you can get your Recordias for $7 each. The down side, you can't really pick out the colors you want. What ever colors they get in will be divided up between evenly between the people in the group buy, you can't beat $7 each.

Who is LARC and how do you get in on the group buy? And about the original thread, I think a zoa only tank would be cool.

I would agree on the mushrooms. Eventually they would start to take over. Zoos and the Ricordias would be awesome. even with some of the zoos you can get long tentacle ones. And some of the colors on various zoos looks awesome under some actinic lights
