15 Gallon Update New Zoos(graphic intense)

A small update on my 15 gallon reef, he last was quite some time ago. All has been going well for a tank that I see about one week every several months due to being at school. When I came home in my my calcum levels had dropped causing the coraline to bleach out(my father was not dosing enough). All was starting to come back by summer end and I gave my father a short lesson about kent calcium reactor. I also lost two fish over the past four to five months, one jumped and the other, my favorite, clown goby has just dissapeared.

I added several new zoos this summer from a few priority mail transactions I did with other reefers, as well as added ricordia. There have been a bunch of other additions, too many to list now. The newest of which is a bright orange plate that I rescued from this LFS, I hope it can be nursed back to health.

 

Basic set up

-15 gallon long with custom external overflow and custom 29 gallon sump/fuge about half full of water my total volume is about 30gallons(soon to come is an extensive DIY guide to this whole project)

-two 3/4 in loc line returns via a mag7(need to upgrade)

-two 96w power quad 50/50s

-ebo heater, Physh1 ATO switch

 

I thought to snap these photos about five minutes before I left for college so needless to say things were a bit rushed.

 

The big picture, nothing like rusty razor blades and surgical scissors.
