Look at you, more new coral. Just lining them up all across the front. Going to be fantastic after they adjust and move up on the rocks. Good for you.

Thank you! Slowly but surely getting the hang of things once again in this tank! Loving it thus far

Full tank pic and moved my rocks around, don’t mind the GHA it’s slowly but surely being eradicated 😅

 

should I keep the new scape? Thinking sps near top with lps and softies mid and low range on rock work... with bta island in the middle 680DA2EE-40AA-43A1-96C0-37CA94BCDE0A.thumb.jpeg.76b43880f4572eeaa813729e0df28938.jpegED816132-F3FB-49C7-ADF4-F7AD78F0D158.thumb.jpeg.e709942961c6843f98ed32702d91e3c0.jpeg776F8218-3EA7-4537-A947-843D610E8ADD.thumb.jpeg.9623c9b2cab10c5fc0900c185e59f47a.jpeg6240F057-A507-4A60-AD94-48B2CF80E1BB.thumb.jpeg.1ef84146ead16d3bb081d681d9fbaaee.jpeg

tested ca and alk which I’ve never ever tested in the past because I believe visually you can know what’s wrong more often than not however 

 

ca 380

alk 9.3 

mag (lost the instructions LOL)

 

have had these Salifert kits for a while but thinking about buying new ones and taking this tank to the next level with dosing to keep everything stable

Some pics and a vid for your viewing pleasure! Just gotta glue the zoas on the rocks and sanded will be virtually clean minus the acans, gonna get a few more zoas to grow out and acans as well. Also, think a nice show piece welso or trachy?🤔

So my mama clown has been attacking my hand for a little over a month now, she’s unbelievably mean😂 she’s now 4 years old, anyone else’s older clowns get grumpy when they get old?

Both my female Maroon and little bitch male bite the shit out of me. 

 

The female is getting bigger to the point I may need bandaids... Or gloves, 🙄

 

Even if my face gets to close to the tank they get pissed. Like um I feed you gtfo of here.

Yes my female does the exact same thing if I dare put my hand in the tank. I always jump when she bites. Even though I know it's coming and it hurts! So now I use one hand to try and chase her away while the other hand moves the rock or coral or what ever. They both sleep in a stone hedge head that's in the tank and all hell breaks lose if I move that!

My black and white ocellaris pair used to be quite nippy and would always go after my hands.

 

Tank looks great! Especially, digging the acans - are you planning on getting more of those or are you going to leave the front sandbed area more open?

Hahaha my male has yet to turn into an asshole, I assume it’s coming considering they now have laid their clutch under one of the BTAs and he’s defensive with the six line. Wish I would’ve recorded their fights, they were nuts!

 

same, they literally want food and nothing else. Gtfo is an understatement! Lol I’m thinking about gloves, I vote gloves man, then you don’t have to feel the pinches. These little mf have a little bite on them😂

Yes! I know it’s gonna happen but I still get startled when I’m moving corals around. I think I’ve knocked a few frags off this week from jumping😂 I’m pretty sure they’re mad too because I moved their rock where they were laying their clutches😬

Good to know most reefers get their hands attacked as well lol

 

Thanks! I originally had planned for an open sand bed but the acans are doing amazing and I think I want to get a few more to start a nice little garden. Also on the fence to have a nice elegance or lobo, possibly welso. I’m not too sure yet but starting to really enjoy acans. Love that they are super easy to spot feed as well.
