Scorched Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Great tank CenCal. I'm jealous of your torches. I've tried for years to have green tip or aussie golds and none of them have lasted more than a few months. 1 Quote Link to comment

Man this tank exploded in growth but due to my negligence during grad school I either sold it off or it died 😞 it’s just my clowns, rocks, and hermits currently. Went through a huge aptasia problem, I’ll post pics of where it was and where it’s at currently! Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 So this is the tank as it stands, a shallow reef is in the works yet again but thinking about making this primarily a nem tank and only have the clowns and maybe one more addition such as a TSB or another Midas Blenny. I need to do a water change and eradicate that lonesome aptasia! Stay tuned! Btw when I find time I think I shall raise that fry from my clowns, davinci grade A x Darwin misbar 😝 1 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Took down the kessil as I had a few blues burned out and put up this AI prime I had sitting around, in person it’s not so washed out with the blues but it’s also my ramping down time soooo 😉 currently looking for the perfect pieces, haven’t found anything worth the price tag yet! What happened to all the decent priced nems? 3 years ago you could buy an RBTA for $60 on live aquaria and now they’re $360🤯 1 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 ANNNNND it’s begun. Just got this beauty today. Seems it’s gonna be as nice as my last one 🤨 4 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 So this saltwater addiction is already hitting hard, just purchased an ultra rainbow off of a fellow reefer on another forum. Should be a really nice piece to add to the tank, will post pics on Tuesday but for now enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Got a couple new additions😉 more pics to come as the new nem settles in! 1 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Btw does anyone else mix their saltwater with a backup Mp10?! I must admit it makes water changes so easy and fast! And another shot of the nem because it’s bananas😁 2 Quote Link to comment

Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Ok time for quality pics, anyone have tips for an iPhone XR? I swear my iPhone X took better pics! But enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Made a short film, in all the new BTA is happy as can be, my little damsel gets harassed by my mama clown but they’ve toned it down. I’m gonna see if they’ll be able to co-exist but I really love the damsel and it’s a juvenile so it should color up to an orange with a neon blue stripe. All in all tank is doing great, being selective in pieces as far as coral goes. Looking for birds nest and stylo along with some nice zoas for the left side. Funny how gsp feels hard to come by now, stuff used to be free lol my right side will be BTA grow out and garden I think. Idk this hobby makes me want everything 😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Picked up a little sixline wrasse and a frag of gsp from the LFS yesterday, really want torches again but they’re too much for my liking😪 2 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Also shout out to @Cultivated Reef for this order! Can’t wait to see what I receive 😁 fingers crossed for a nice birdsnest or stylo! also picked up another reef cleaner package from John over at reef cleaners! 3 Quote Link to comment

I wish I would’ve snapped a few photos yesterday! It looked partially deflated but as the evening went on I realized it was splitting. The next event I’ll try and take a few pictures. I did capture one of the splits still forming its mouth if you look closely! Quote Link to comment

Trying to get this beauty back on track, funny thing is it appears I’m going through an algae bloom since moving my tank over. All Params are back in balance but I accidentally introduced some fine hair algae into my system so a clean up clue will be here by Friday latest. The algae isn’t an eye sore (small short patches) or detrimental but certainly noticeable lol Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Here’s a close up of my other BTA, not as nice but I like the orange hue that’s coming through. Hoping to cover the rocks to the right in BTAs and go more mixed on the left. I’m not sure yet though, thinking about a full blown mixed reef. Quote Link to comment

Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Cleaned my sump a couple days ago! Should’ve took a before picture but it was gunky😅 Dialed in my skimmer to pull some nasty out, want to get more of a dry skimmate 2 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Also received my clean up crew! Getting them acclimated now and will post pics when everything settles in, also purchased a nice piece of chaeto, time to grow this stuff out again🙌🏼 2 Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Picked up some nice pieces from a couple of local reefers today! More pics to come tomorrow but until then a couple of shitty quick pics😅 one of my nems decided to move as well🙄 had a change of heart and going full mixed reef, Sooo taking my bubble tip that moved to the LFS and keeping the ultra BTA.
