You RBTA looks pretty sweet.. have you lost any SPS from it stinging anything? Kind of close quarters with all your SPS

Yea i lost one tiny frag that i had another of, that's all though

 

Getting rid of the RBTA will be done when i aquascape...

I can't have a SPS dominated tank with the RBTA taking up so much prime real estate

 

For some reason my skimmer is spewing out micro bubbles, many more than normal, how can i fix that?

 

Thx :D -Spencer

Love the new scape!!! Keep it like that!! Don't change it any more because it's not necessary, trust me ahah.

 

I think you should add hectors goby imo.

I also think that the green acan at the bottom right corner is too big for the tank. Maybe sell it or trade it for something smaller? :lol:

Thx, i might move the acan to the back of the tank, but i will never get rid of it (one of my oldest corals)

 

I have some cleaning up to do, remove the pagoda cup, rubble, and secure the arch but overall i wont change anything :D

 

Next post i will probably have gotten a fish or two

New scape looks great :)

 

Hector's goby is an amazing fish but they pretty much only eat from the sand bed. As long as your sand bed is nice and dirty and well established they are a very hardy fish. I've had mine for over a year now and I have not once noticed him eat anything out of the water column. As far as a nice fish that minds their own business you can't beat them.

Good to hear, looks like i will definetly get the Hector, now I "need" a wrasse

 

Congrats on keeping a leopard wrasse, not a easy task but seems well worth it as they are a very beautiful fish!

A lot of crazy crap has gone down, my LED's fell into the tank after the wingnut fell out of the ceiling

 

I am using a backup AI Sol (perk of the job) and my one working Par 38 (Tri Color)

 

Ordering 3 Tru Pops and eventually a 4th, it's a lot of dough ): especially since im saving for so much else

 

Also having skimmer problems, producing only micro bubbles I think there is a air leak somewhere

 

Doing maintanance, got two new fish (Hector and Possum)

Will update in a week once everything has settled and the tank is "working"

 

Latest Test Results

PO4---0

NO3---2

KH ---7

CA---440

3 Tru Pop Par 38's are on their way and I will eventually get a fourth (using the Tri Color for a small tank)

 

My skimmer is broken, very annoying, have it turned off for now, i saw a bleached branch on my Milli

Need to FIX things NOWOOWOWOW!!

 

I'm thinking of getting these fans, they will be put in my cabinet and blow across the sump

Are they strong enough to keep the tank at 78F ?

All fish are fine, corals look less promising :(

Tank is in chaos

 

I need money for other stuff can't just spend it all on the reef, i need $1400 before August so almost all money it going to that. Did not expect both my lights and skimmer to take a dump on my hopes and dreams

Lubbocks=MIA :(

 

He was scared ####less by the Possum Wrasse even though it is not even aggresive. Last seen two days ago where he shoved himself in a cranny and under my big acan :P

 

Dissapointing, the possum gets along fine with mr. sixline... I wil do a big photo update with my new lights and skimmer, then go on vacation for 3 weeks :D
