Bare Bottom tank

[qckwzrd]

Ok I have my 15 gallon nano and just the other day I took all the sand out of the tank so its bare. With the flow in the tank it stays pretty clean now. I have a plate coral, red mushroom and a frilly mushroom on the substrate with some zoas. I was thinking of putting zoas all over the bottom of the tank. Maybe using some glue to attach to the bottom of the tank. Has anyone tried anything like this before? would YOU do it or not and why?

I have zoo's growing on the bottom of my tank. No big deal. Hides the starboard bottom well.

So you think it would be ok to glue them down?

 

[scarf_ace1981]

it's a great idea. you'll have a zoo garden.

solbby also covers the front bottom of the tank w/ zoos acans and all sorts of goodies.

when those zoos are ready i'll let you know for sure. where's the pic of the BB tank? i saw a pic of the 3.2g, pretty cool. that coral that you thought was xenia are actually clove polyps if i'm not mistaken

I'll have to post new pics. I miss my 3.2 g. I'll have to go take a look at solbbys tank.
yea good luck with tht and let me knw when they are ready. I'm gonna need some zoas soon. I'm gonna try and glue some zoas 2morrow

Yep, I like the way that looks. It's pretty easy to scrape off starboard too.

Wow....now I have to decide if I want the gsp or zoas. I can image the gsp with the actinics on at night...but the zoas would have a lot of different colors.

i would just do zoas cause eventually the gsp will spread to your rocks which is something i dont think you would want.. id rather have nice colorful zoos on my rocks then gsp :lol2: just my opinion..

Good answer...zoas it is!

I think you should go with zoas. Use two colors and write your name on the bottom of your tank
