LOL i dont need luck I have skill ! :-) and no i have not had any problem with my anemones being in the same tank, I even had 2 different species of anemones in my 30 gal nano tank, one of those red rose buttle tip anemones with some other white and purble anemone with no problem. Only thing that went wrong with the enemones is one of the rose's split one time and had 2 kids and the little ones moved under the parent and both died.
and as for an extension, I got lazy and missed out on the nano division, i didnt get an extension ;-) so i say No ....unless those of us who entered on time get some kind of a sub prize or advantage in the competition...LOL Im j/k its all in good fun so why not i would love to see everyone's tank and see how mine does.

Okay, so I reaquascaped the tank on Saturday morning to get better flow behind, through and across my rock and such. Below are some pics. The one pic has the flash to show the caves and such that of course don't show up under aquarium lighting without awesome camera skill of which I have none. I also bought some corals from G-man and included them. I REALLY like the new look plus the flow is great! Enjoy.

I use Photobucket. Upload there, click on the "image code" link at the bottom of the picture, paste and then put an "r" in front of the "IMG" code. That resizes the image.

it would look something like this [rimg]www.blah, blah, blah my tank pictures[/rimg]


I see Doug has a RImg tag so you could just use that, but I've always done it the way discribed.

No problem. Is that a Solymia on the bottom kind of to the right? The pink and blue? Beautiful piece!
