k4ndyk1ng Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 This tank has come together well and I am pleased to see it everyday, I'm glad my problems have been rare and I hope for this success to carry on into the future. All I need to sort out now is a dosing pump to keep the params stable and get the acros growing Some pictures A FTS with a fresh rockscape to break up territory My long lost royal gramma Unknown acro, which has purple tips and green polyps and a blue digi in the background Green birdsnest which has developed a much richer colour now I moved it lower in my tank Link to comment

k4ndyk1ng Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Skimmer broke!! FFS phoning up charterhouse aquatics tomorrow to get a new pump because it should be under warranty The sailfin has to go now because the bioload is too high now due to the skimmer dying Also I might be considering a PBT for this tank, hear my out here lol. My tanks footprint is 4x2 which is the same as a 120 My flow is really high, really, really high. 150x tank turnover PBT will love swimming against it, will this make him think the tank is bigger?

vlangel Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I like the birdsnest. I keep seeing folks tanks with pretty little birdsnest in them. Maybe I should consider one for my tank? Link to comment

AllOutAfrican Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 you have very little space to work with and can see you have put effort into the space the tank is in now... and you have some pretty sps corals the birds nest is looking good and like the blue digita. I have a red digita and love the branching growth form ... your mangrove is looking awesome my mangrove is now borderig a year old and still pushing out leaves has been 3 months since I saw the green shoots coming out.. good luck with the rest of your stocking Link to comment

This tank has been a bumpy ride with all it's problems. I am loving the growth and just getting away with using kalk at the moment and will have to get a dosing pump in the near future too.
