Ben has started an anemone and clownfish farm and I got one of the first looks!
I've bene following Ben's story for about a year now. His drive and ambition have led to quite an impressive nem & clown farm - with a macro algae grow-out in the works! Remember to hit up bensnems.com every Friday for new drops!

I’m in the process of stocking a 40 breeder reef tank of my own and the fish I’m thinking about are 2 clowns, white tail bristletooth tang (I keep hearing different opinions on the matter but my lfs says it’s ok and I’ve seen yellow and bristles in 40 gallons before) , blue spot jaw fish and a wrasse (going back and forth of a few) just wanted to hear your opinion since you take great care of your tanks

@BahamaLlamaCoral 3 жыл бұрын

As far as the tang goes...I have a tomini in my frag tank but it's 4ft long so he's got some room to roam. Not knowing your experience level (you might be an expert) I'd say that's a lot of money to spend for a 40 breeder. With the blue spot and white tail that's close to $300-400 in two fish...unless you're getting a deal. I think they'd all get along ok. Personally I'd want a big display for a spectacular fish like the white tail.

@xBoogs808x 3 жыл бұрын

Is it Dinoflagelletes?

@BahamaLlamaCoral 3 жыл бұрын

I'd say cyano, which kinda blankets the bottom of the tank and various surfaces. If it's stringy it's probably dinos. Dinos are actually caused by having too little PO4 and NO3 in the tank. So if you test and those both come up 0 it's probably dino.

Is Ben mixing strains of anemones in the same system of water? That’s a NO NO. Also breeding seahorses is a full time job. They procreate like it’s their jobs. Culling happens a lot with all the sickness, defects. I love seeing fellow reefers trying to learn more and get into it. But one thing at a time and do a little more research before losing stock. Really look into mixing nems first. 🌱🌿🌴 #PS1A

To bad that phrase at 13:23, they all started, idnt always feasible. Wether it's money, space, or time, many people can't start at all. Only lucky ones or privileged ones get to start most of the time. Majority don't get that privilege. It's a nice saying, but a saying that is more false than true.
