sam_the_reefer Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Nem is bleaching again, but I've learned not to panic. I think it's the phosguard. It's been a while since I've seen the Yumas fully expanded and they're huge! 1 2 Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 And my clownfish are laying eggs for the nth time. Many changes, but everything seems happy. 3 Quote Link to comment
Poodges Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Love your scape. Always liked the bonsai style tanks. Great job! Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Sporadic update. As someone else put it: my dottyback took a leap of faith, and now he's free. 😞 I also gave away most of my green shrooms to de-clutter. So far tank's still looking good and chugging along. I'm thinking of buying a HOB skimmer for this tank as it's getting harder to source limewood airstones. 4 Quote Link to comment

saliferous502 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The progression of this tank has been awesome! Sorry to hear about your dottyback. 1 Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Had time to clean things up and take good photos because of home quarantine. I thinned out the pesky zoas on the top left clump and transplanted some of the better colored ones there. The couple are still laying eggs. And these guys are still fluffy. 5 1 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Still a very nice and unique looking tank! 🙂 And for the first time I realize that the branch is not one piece, but attached at the back of the tank. 😅 Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Damn. Your tank is just so crisp and clean. These little tanks that have that crisp clear aesthetic always make me so jealous and makes my tank feel dirty Super cool! 1 Quote Link to comment

sam_the_reefer Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Rearranged things to keep the Yumas from shading (and stinging) then Nem when they fully expand. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 A local reefer was selling his used Prime HD for a good price, so I jumped on it. After much reading and video-watching, I've decided to use the ab+ setting by BRS. My goal right now is to get the solid purple under-color of the Gigantea back, so if science says this very blue setting is the best for corals then I'm willing to try it. It's very blue though...like I need to really get close to clearly see the orange on my clownfish, but the corals really fluoresce under the blue. Hopefully the blue will help with the mushroom coloration too, It was originally a yellow color, but has turned golden orange-ish. Did I mention it's very blue? Quote Link to comment

sam_the_reefer Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Things are still chugging along. I light-shocked and lost some of my zoas, but some nubs survived and are now recovering. Everything seems to have adapted to the new light and spectrum for now, though I do seem to be experiencing a mini-cycle after I did a 50% water change a week ago. I added some purigen in my HOB to help out. I still need more practice in taking photos and editing them to properly document how they really look like. The photos don't seem to show the orange pop of the Yumas and yellow tint of the shrooms. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
