I wonder what I should do about the corals that are on the bottom of the tank.... I have the flow pretty strong in there and I noticed that they kinda get blow around some. I wonder if I should use a small piece of the two part epoxy to hold them in place. I wasn't going to use super glue cause I want to be able to move the frag if I have too. Any thoughts?

Why not super glue them? In my experience it's easy to break the glue free

Here are the first real pics of the corals since last year. These guys are doing great. Did a water change last night for the first time since January. The tank is finally in a good stride. I have no

Here we go. The stylos pics are the only spot with algae. I just have to pic it offz just been super lazy. You can see algae in the skeleton of the Stylo and the skin is growing right over it. Pretty

I have the prime hd so i'd have to imagine that would be enough. I built the rock up high enough so it's closer to surface. I don't know, i'll see what my lfs has in the next few months.

Sucks to be you...........not a prime fan...........had one and well it sucked :wink: you need to hock some parts and get a real light :lol:

What do you consider a real light? I have to make myself a light fund so I'm watching all the comments about which is better or not. Ā My ceilings are too high to hang anything over the tank, so the big combo light things are out. I thought the prime looked pretty space saving and heard it was powerful. Certainly pricey.

What size tank ?

I did not like the prime I had over a IM20..........best light I liked over it was a Kessil 360........also had a Radion over it and hated it............

Love my nanobox but am going to try the new Red Seas over the new tank along with some T5s............and no ceiling is to high.............you just need more cable on the hangers..........

Alright so here are some shots i took with the macro and orange filter. In one of the nem pics if you look close you'll see my emerald crab. Thats his spot, under a nem...kinda weird but cool at the same time.

Everyone is getting adjust to the new place. My blasto will fill a good portion of that spot when he finally gets adjusted.

Enjoy the shots šŸ˜€

But how many nano boxes does it take? I have a 24x24x24 tank, so I donā€™t think I need too much, but I donā€™t know that these two Orbits are doing much.

Well first water change on the waterbox tonight. Went good and I was able to suck out all the shit. Good times. Tank is looking so nice. I wish my one frogspawn would open up all the way. I ended up moving the kps to a different spot. Have it running over the two montis. Alk is staying in a good spot.

You could get a Tanaka's or Possum wrasse if you can find them. Damn nice little wrasses that aren't fukn assholes like 6 Line wrasses are. Right now there are a lot of small blennies on the market, the little Lined blennies are a damn nice fish that are very peaceful.

I'm leaning towards a little blenny. Since I went bare bottom I figured no wrasses. I have to get a top if in going to get one though. I'm just so happy with this tank so far. Now as long as I don't f it up šŸ˜„. I might try my hand at some macro, didn't have good luck with it the last time. I think all the gha was killing it.

What Macro is it you're thinking of trying?
