Jacob's 24g Aquapod

This is my (technically) 1 year old tank. It has been re-scaped and basically emptied out 3 times but now I am probably going to keep it about the same. It is a mixed reef, SPS, LPS, softies clams, everything. The lighting is a 150w sunpod, and a coralife 14k bulb that will be replaced with a phoenix soon. I have a sapphire aquatics skimmer, it is currently awaiting a new impeller as mine shattered. Not really running any chemipure purigen etc. or cheato in this tank. Stock return pump and two koralia ones for flow. Anyway, an unknown weight of live rock, about two inches of live sand and thats about it.

As of right now I have basically SPS and clams. A couple palys/zoa, and thats about it. I have one clown fish. Here are the funny parts, one huge almost two feed across brittle star, he eats the weak. The other is a peppermint shrimp, really no problem but he should probably go.

I suck at tank pictures, a lot so these are pretty bad. You can get the idea of it. Ignore the two big rocks in the middle, I recently re-scaped and had those left over.

It still looks great! I didn't really get the part about the brittle star though lol.

Lol. Oh they aren't reef safe, they kill fish lol. I think he has killed fish before.

Oh wow. Brittle stars? They must go for them when they are asleep?

I think so. But they are really fast, I could see one grabbing a slow moving fish like a mandarin easy lol.

Not micro bittles, the big ones haha

Wow i had no idea. You should get a pic or something.

He hides. All I see are his legs. I still need to catch him haha

Whats the species so i can look them up?

Have fun taking all your rock down .

I might get him at night. I dunno look on live aquaria or something its a gray brittle star.

Okay. Im off lol. :study:.

???

Ya that looks about right. They all act the same lol

lol it says they get ten inches big . If it eats fish....

Edit: What are the clams like? What are their requirements and such.

Mines longer than ten inches lol.

Umm they need intense light, and they use a ton of calcium and alk. that plus a stable tank and their care isn't too bad. I do dose my tank a lot though.

Wow thats intense. What are you going to do with it?

What kind of lights do you have on them?

I really have no idea. It eats the weak now lol.

I have a 150w sunpod on that tank. amazing light lol.

What has he eaten before?

Wow. It must cost a fortune then.

He might have eaten some things, I really don't know lol.

What cost a fortune?

Also new pic!

Idk. That post was so long ago. Tank looks great. Is the only fish that clown?

Yup only one fish haha. Gonna fill it with coral then some cool fish lol

lol. Flasher wrasse . Coolest fish there is!

Ya I am thinking about getting a Mccoskers to go with my onyx clown pair.

Where would you get it from?

Probably live aquaria. Lotta money but amazing fish.

There only 50 dollars. Pretty good for a fish like that if you ask me.
