RIP Sebastian Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Give us a pic of the scape again and we'll see if we can help. I've been thinking about it more and I think I'll just rearrange the corals. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Haha! Things change, your vision changes, the way you see the tank as you cross the room and bam!! You know you have to change something. Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 It's your tank, make it look like you want it! Seriously, rescaping as you learn more and as you see how your corals develop is a really important aspect of keeping good reef tanks. I redid the scape three times and rearranged corals many times in my 4g. And although I'm only doing the first rescape of the 10g now, I've rearranged corals in that one a lot too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks for your input. The downside of the 30 is that it's shallow and I really can't do much scape-wise. I think I'll the scape, but I'm definitely going to move some corals around. 1 Quote Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Today is the tank's first birthday! I think. Either now or sometime within the next two weeks for the 30. But including the 24, it broke a year ago. One year! Yaayyy! Will post pics later. 3 Quote Link to comment

The 20 and 10 are an inch deeper....I am almost to the point of gutting it and putting a sump under it. Plus do not like all the crap that collects in the back of the AIO set ups.

That's what I meant. Deep. Not shallow. On a side note, my betta has been working on a bubble nest all day. Quote Link to comment

TFish77 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The reason I said that is that wall on the right in the photo looks like it has receded a little bit. Those are both Acanthastrea lordhowensis. Fun Fact. Acanthastrea Lordhowensis = Micromussa Lordhowensis Lol god I'm a nerd. http://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/acanthastrea-lordhowensis-micromussa-lordhowensis.18871/ 1 Quote Link to comment

Bloucks Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks for showing me the 30L index nick. It should help with future inspirations for my tank. Quote Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for showing me the 30L index nick. It should help with future inspirations for my tank. Sure thing. Sorry I didn't notice your post until now. It's kinda dusty in here. Anywho, if you didn't know, my parents are putting new carpet in. So, I have to move both of my tanks. Once the new countertop in, I'll have to move my Betta, too. I came up with a list of goals/plans for the tank. Here it is! Goals Within the Next Month or Two: 1. Move and Drain Safely 2. Return PJ and Orchestriped Cardinalfish 3. Add More Sand and Crushed Coral 4. Rescape 4. Purchase Captive-Bred Pair of Yasha Gobies with Pistol Shrimp 5. Once Tank is Put Back, Get Cal/Alk/Mag Under Control and Add Dosing Pump 6. Maybe Add a Mangrove or Two Goals Within the Next Year: 1. Ensure Proper Health and Growth of Fish and Corals 2. Sell/Trade/Give Away Corals I No Longer Want 3. Add More SPS 4. Utilize Dave's Nanobox Trade-In Program 5. Add an Apex Controller 6. Maybe Try Some KZ LPS Color Stuff Goals Before I Go to College: 1. UPGRADE!!!!! (RSR 170, CAD Lights 45 Shallow, or Deep Blue 55 w/ Tank, Stand, and Canopy) 2. AUTOMATE!!!!! I Need to Make it as Simple as Possible. 2 Quote Link to comment
