We like build threads, and we like pics. And if you have pics from your tank's early days, more the better! Some have set up threads for tanks that have been up for years. 2 Quote Link to comment

Lugmos12 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) I'm struggling today with my tank. I have flow issues due to my coral placement. I think I'm going to have to start from scratch again. I don't have any glue right now so I can't change anything. My plan is to order some strong glue online and re-do the entire tank sometime this week. Some of my coral are splitting rapidly so I have to change their placement in the tank; sort of necessary. I might get rid of one of the rocks but I'm not sure how this can affect the amount of nitrifying bacteria in the tank. Maybe place the rocks in the sump area of the tank. The amount of aggression from my female clown to male clown also hasn't decreased in the last ~2 months. She goes at him any chance she gets; I don't see any scars or disease signs on him since he's faster at swimming. :/ Edited October 16, 2017 by Lugmos12 my terrible grammar/spelling 3 Quote Link to comment

TheBig053 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Haha, I think that snail has enough surface area that you can remove some rock! BTW, you sure that isn't a trochus? My turbo has a rigis bumpy shell and my (lazy ass) trochus has a smooth shell. Quote Link to comment

Lugmos12 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Tank update: Finally re-did my rockscape to fix a flow issue. The Euphyllia corals look very happy and fully expanded; i placed them towards the back of the tank away from heavy flow. The hairy mushroom split so I now have three from the original. I also have three frilly mushrooms from the original one. The utter chaos palys have exploded and I have about 11-12 heads from the original 4. The kenya tree is huge and I'm pretty sure I could frag it now (it dropped off a little baby not that long ago). My next goal is to get my hands on some acans. 4 Quote Link to comment
Lugmos12 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Upgraded the stock lights to Current Marine Orbit (from a reefer on this site). I’m acclimating the corals using blues at 60 and whites at 45. 4 Quote Link to comment
Lugmos12 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 So on 10/31: my Alk was 11.8 and today it is 9.9 my calcium was 480 and today it is 460 I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Do these numbers seen about right? I don't think my tank is overstock with corals but I'm also not sure how much alk/calc corals consume on average. Quote Link to comment
Lugmos12 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Umm I accidentally dropped my wavemaker in the tank while moving it around and it ripped a few tips off my torch 4 Quote Link to comment
Lugmos12 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I will be adding a feather duster today. My two sexy shrimp disappeared; i’m not sure if they got lost during my most recent rockscape change Quote Link to comment
