afcajax73 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 ah no 😞 sorry to hear that! I've never had any luck with Blennies. I ended up making a lid using D-D jump guard kit. I lost two fish that way, so it's a must for me really 1 Quote Link to comment

I think so, yeah via amazon but not 100% it was a while back. I just drilled the holes myself, good tank - if you're thinking of getting one do a leak test as mine did leak but a bit of silly cone fixed that np 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

Proxo Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Had to move some coral around, mainly hammers will prob have to move more if nem decides to come out! Changed the lighting a little, hopefully reduce algae - old prime server on the right still annoying me as it has a more purple tone i've tried turning off everything but the blue and still has it, must be a slightly different white. Some better pictures, taken on a world class brick. 3 Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ratvan (wont let me tag for some reason) made me question pH and Alk from his thread so i decided to shake it up tay tay style with them test kits I've got pretty low dkh and ph on freshly mixed salt + the tank dkh was 7.4 and ph 7'ish (@ratvan there's a new BRS video explaining how they're connected). So i'm currently dosing alk at moment, VERY slowly - up to 8.2 dkh after about week, I' might have to go for a different salt? idk 😄 Guys is that green coral on the left of the orange acan (not the green/brown acan above) actually a Bowerbanki or an Lobophyllia of some sort? They look the same to me, it was sold as a banki though.... they should just sell all coral as banki coz they be stealing my bank account 😄 Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Also why does tank look better through these D-D Coral colour, maybe i should install the lenses into glasses? 😄 also the guy from the ai prime website lives down the road for me, might have to get him to do my tank xD Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 ........Well, the pink scooter blenny has also decided to jump......... and the f.......ing cover should be here on monday! No more fish until it arrives. 3 Quote Link to comment

Proxo Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 @afcajax73 Cheers bud, we all go through these times in this hobby, some of us more than others (@Ratvan). Plus note though the anemone has started to make its way around to the front.... but it's stuck itself to the bottom of my monti plate 🤔 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Proxo Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hello beautiful people, i'm still a live and kicking just been busy and some PC problems (i hate mobile phones). Not much to update on the tank, something happened about 2 week ago and my water went milk style and i've lost a few coral + 2 emerald crabs. I lost 2 montipora and the anemone i ordered 😞 But i did purchase another anemone from my LFS for about £30 and it's about the size of the hulks hand lol! Think my tank was becoming a bit too 'clean' so i've turned the skimmer off and upped the stock 2 clowns 1 royalgramma 1 'XL' Mandarin 3 Green Chromis Cleaner Shrink Tux Urchin Odd snails and hermits Shall return with some more pics and info once the milk has left 😄 3 Quote Link to comment
afcajax73 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Nice to hear from you pal.. glad all is well (minus the tank issues). You'll bounce back to normal before we know it! keep us posted 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well i managed to finally get a net cover for the tank but.... the next day i found nemo in the sump LOL. Somehow managed to fit through the smallest gap into the overflow box down the pipe and through some baffles..... Didn't know nemo was based on a true story! Just wondering if anybody knows of maybe some water level sensor that maybe a red light comes on when the water level is LOW. Thinking of putting my ATO tank into a drawer but then i will most likely forget to check it's got water in it 😕 1 Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Anemone was in a good place and now it's in the corner, nobody puts baby in the corner. (Don't mind the frags all over the place, i was in a rush and needed to move them away from nemmy). 2 Quote Link to comment
afcajax73 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 looks good mate! shame he's moved into the corner! 😄 Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 He's been moving around a bit lately but now he's kind of still pretty healthy looking but the mouth is open so wide it looks like somebody took a shotgun to one of them face huggers from alien. Any idea? shall try grab a picture soon. Quote Link to comment
Proxo Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Anyone ever had a hammer coral 'bail' from its skeleton? i have what looks like a ping pong ball sized candy floating around. Happened about 2 week ago, it hasn't lost any colouring or anything 😄 2 Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I loose the odd polyp which blows around the tank for days before being pulled into the filter. But a full head?! Wow 1 Quote Link to comment
