kimberbee Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Good morning Nano-Reef-ers!! I was going to do a photo shoot post yesterday, but after my water change Wednesday, time got away from me and the sun was starting to set on my reefs. I had a hard time adjusting my camera settings to get any good pictures, so it’ll just have to wait for another day. Today though, I wanted to make a rambling post about changes I want to make in my lagoon tank. While doing my water change I realized I’m just not happy with the layout and the amount of corals on the sand. It makes siphoning the sand more of a chore, because I have to be careful not to bump, smash, or hurt anything on the sand. Mainly I want to get rid of, finally and forever, the two stupid frag racks that have been in the tank for what seems like forever! There’s a few SPS corals on there that I’ve been trying to color up for ages, since even before moving the tank from my old apartment over a year ago. I will probably keep only a few SPS corals that have stayed happy and colored for the longest time. The other will have to go. I really want to get the undata up off the sand bed, I think that it would probably be happy to get more flow and more light. It’s just so big! So I am considering fragging off a small piece for myself and getting rid of the rest! Fragging always just makes me so nervous! I’m really loving how happy my euphyllia rock is doing, but they are over taking that side of the tank. Might frag some of those to make a little more room for others. And the duncan is HUGE and just keeps growing… that might be due for a trim as well! But it’s Squiggy’s favorite spot so I hate taking that away from her. The sun corals and giant gorgonian also need to get up and out of the sand bed. I have a rock for them, but need to make room for it. I also have some palys that just aren’t doing well so close to the duncan that definitely need a new home. Once I cut them off the rock I would have room for a gorgo/sun coral rock. I need to be like gena and get a little more selective with my corals again. As the tank matures and things get bigger, I want to make sure things have room to grow. Being that it’s a mixed reef, I am always paranoid about coral warfare, so I’m going to come up with a plan to avoid that, by getting rid of some unfriendly corals and separating my different little islands. 9 Quote Link to comment

I kept the same pump. I will also say that compared to most people, I run my tank pumps low. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was expecting this pump to be loud. The pump that came with the Lagoon and the one that came with the drop-off were ridiculously loud. This one is pretty much normal. Not as quiet as my silent sicce pump...virtually no noise. But it's manageable. Have you done any modifications? I see you have a caddy for your filter media. Mine came with a filter sock. I'm thinking about getting the intank insert so I can replace floss easily. I use my socks for a month and then toss them. Gets expensive. Quote Link to comment

None of my IM pumps have been loud, and I've had 4 in different tanks. I do use the inTank basket and find it easy to use. I am using an rw4 on the lowest setting. Ato micro. I'm planning a video on all my equipment soon actually. But that's about it and it's very simple 1 Quote Link to comment
