Not sure if this is ok to post on here but I'm interested in buying a nice colorful nem for my 155g tank. Figured this might be a good place to look as I live in Ct.

Thanks but I'm looking for something that grows big.

FWIW, Mags, Gigs and Hads are all quite difficult to maintain - plus the former tends to wander and the latter will eat your fish - and don't ship well, so you need to be prepared with a hospital tank/cipro. Why not consider either a bubble or long-tentacle? Both grow quite large, are colorful, and easy to keep.

There is a gorgeous blue carpet at Aqua Dreams for $250 and a bright yellow/green one for $180. They are so awesome, I actually thought about a species tank when I saw them until I remembered I already have my hands full with all my other tanks. They are just so beautiful. Yes they can kill just about anything in your average reek tank, and even do some damage to the reefer him/herself. But if you have the set up for them these 2 are beauties! GL

I looked at their website and they dont have a pic up yet but it might be worth the trip. It's about an hour and a half from here.

shayna123 · 01/03/2014, 11:58 AM

I'm sure he would text you a pic if you called He has them in little baskets so you wouldn't get the best pic of it in all its glory but I have seen them in person and they are healthy and the colors are beautiful. Not sure how big they are once out of the basket. This is the first time I have seen them in a store so it may be worth the trip. What kind of set up are you thinking for it?

james30ct · 01/03/2014, 01:26 PM

I have a 155g bowfront reef with 3x175 halides and 2 6' cree led diy strips. I also have 2 jebao wp-40's and a 1600gph cheapo powerhead.

shayna123 · 01/03/2014, 02:02 PM

That sound really nice. Do you have any livestock? Out of curiosity, how do you like the Jebaos?

james30ct · 01/03/2014, 04:08 PM

I have no complaints with the Jebaos. As for livestock I have 2 occ clowns, 1 purple pseudocromis, 1 green chromis, 1 bicolor foxface, and a hippo tang.

serpent star, purple urchin, few snails, rbta

coral frags- trumpet, torch, frogspawn, bubble coral, yellow fiji leather, waving hand xenia and a few others

shayna123 · 01/03/2014, 05:08 PM

Sounds cool!

james30ct · 01/04/2014, 01:16 PM

Got a neon green carpet nem and cant get it to detatch its foot from the basket it came in. Any pointers?

james30ct · 01/04/2014, 01:50 PM

Got it out. Hopefully its ok it didnt want to let go put I was gentle and foot still looks good.

captc07 · 01/04/2014, 01:57 PM

Nice looking piece. Definitely something I want to have in my next tank. Can't wait to see a pic of it in the tank!
