Minimalistic Anemone Tank

Hi,

My previous tank was done up hastily. So this time, I restarted my marine tank.

Here's my old "planted" marine tank :sick: :

And here's my newly restarted marine tank:

Left to right: Big white anemone with purple dots at the tip; small golden maroon clown; green plate coral; tiny sun coral fragment.

My 55W PL 10,000K just went dead! :( I'm thinking of replacing the PL tube, and/or the e-ballast; or maybe getting a new set of lights.

My LRs are in a pail now, because I'm not sure if I should put them into the new tank. I have some questions about my LRs here.

I am going to get my maroon clown a mate this weekend because his previous girlfriends died of ich while he didn't catch it!

I plan to get some colourful mushrooms since I want a "minimalistic" tank. :heh: Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments! :peace:

Thanks for your comments! :)

I added two of my existing LRs into the tank since they have mushrooms and I fear that they may die if kept in a pail.

My lights came back to life today, for some unknown reason! So I took some photos.

The only fish in my tank! I'll get him a gf this weekend! Hehehe...

My plate coral (taken in the old tank; days ago)

My tiny sun coral frag (opens only in actinic coz my PL is too bright)

Any suggestions for my tank? Like in the LR/corals arrangement, future corals or livestock to acquire? Thanks!

In memory of his previous girlfriend, whom he knew only for a week...

*snap*

A nice couple shot :)

She died of ich. I should have done the freshwater dip treatment! :( Hope that his new love would be free of sickness. :angel:

I don't think so. I read the temperature requirement of anemones and it's around 26 degrees. I can achieve this with a fan. Best is to get a chiller in the long run.

Since I can't find a bigger golden maroon clown, I thought I could buy a small one and mate with my existing medium-sized golden maroon clown. I got this tiny fish from the ah bengs at $$8.00.

Shots of the baby during its freshwater dip:

The original maroon was taken out and isolated because he was terrorizing the newcomer. :( I'll try my best to make peace between them!

Here's my brown tang after weeks of entering my tank. I didn't take any shots of it earlier because it was suffering from marine ich, like most tangs do! :erm:

Here's my sailfin tang which is still suffering from marine ich. Initially the brown tang terrorized this newcomer (see the torn fins :() but after a while they stopped fighting. :)

The ich is getting better as I perform freshwater dips daily. I'll post more pictures of them later. I love tangs! :heh:

Got tang shots but no tank shots for now, coz it is in a mess. I got a huge submersible pump in my tiny 2 feet tank. Ugly.
