Felicia Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Very impressive, considering this is what the tank looks like when neglected! All the SPS are doing so well! I'm glad you put the BTAs back into the scape. They look great in there! 1 Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Glad to see you back! This tank looks amazing for being neglected! I'm really digging the acan garden 1 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hello All, As has been obviously apparent by my lack of activity (for nearly 7 months!), my passion for reefing has waned. However, I still have my tank going and it is actually somewhat flourishing despite a recent dip in maintenance. I experienced a huge algae outbreak, but replaced the filters in my RODI system and have done some manual removal and larger water changes. I also added a Royal Gramma several months ago and she's gotten quite fat! 4091 . Are you all caught up now? So glad to see you back! I thought about you a couple of weeks ago when I found a couple of my snails stacking LOL. Your tank is looking as gorgeous as ever! 1 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I might have read somewhere that there was some consideration of going all SPS in here? 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm glad you put the BTAs back into the scape. They look great in there!Thank you Felicia! It took some time to get it back to this point. I didn't bother, nor had the motivation to taking any images when it was at its worst. Yes, those BTA's are quite happy and my clowns are also quite happy. Though, they seem to have taken to different nems. lol Glad to see you back! This tank looks amazing for being neglected! I'm really digging the acan gardenThank you Yoshii! 4091 . Are you all caught up now? So glad to see you back! I thought about you a couple of weeks ago when I found a couple of my snails stacking LOL. Your tank is looking as gorgeous as ever! lol, sort of... Thank you gena! haha! I forgot about that thread. I'm still got some catching up to do. I might have read somewhere that there was some consideration of going all SPS in here? Yes. Though, that might be with the next tank. 3 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 That's funny that your clowns have picked different nems. My original clown pair in my 30 gallon were like that. The female lived in the zoanthids and the male lived next door on the big chalice. They were definitely a pair, but they had separate bedrooms My clowns now are too funny because my like 8 (still not sure on exact number at this point) BTAs are all smushed together on that one little island, so they just live in all the nems. Sometimes its hard to even find the little guys down in their giant BTA palace. They definitely aren't partial to any one nem or section, they take advantage of the entire cluster. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wish I could see that up close! Yes, mine are also definitely a couple, but have the Bert and Ernie beds. lol This tank deserves a TOTM if it hasn't. Thank you FlowerMama! The first version of this tank was TOTM back in 2013 I think. The 2.0 version is almost two years old now. In total, TODAY makes 4 years old! Happy Birthday Reef! 11 Quote Link to comment
