Looks clean enough for more coral to me! Do you have any thing in mind or is it let's see what the LFS has?

LFS didn't post anything this week so not sure they got anything in. Maybe from the covid? 

 

I need to clean up frags on my sand bed so I can start with those! It will ultimately be a mixed reef. Mostly I just want a variety of colors.

Well added some things last that that were accidental frags in my DT and getting buried/lost and things that were just kind of in the way on the sandbed.

 

I have a Tubbs Monti I will try to save tonight. It's almost all dead because my BTA in the 80g is stinging the hell out of it.

 

I also have a few favias that need rescuing from being stung.

 

So I guess this is kind of like the hospital tank for beaten up frags lol maybe I should rename my theme to the ICU?

My fish are super camera shy. My tank is in my bedroom so they are not used to foot traffic or photos.

 

Added some favia that were getting the crap stung out of them in the 80. Hoping they can recover here. 

 

Nothing really crazy going on. I need to frag a few things to add. Just not sure what lol

 

Everything in my mind stings or grows too fast...I removed the mushrooms as they were trying to start shit with my blasto even though I spaced them a bit apart.

 

The Blenny is a little piglet and seems fat and happy. He really appreciates the live rock it seems. Great little tank cleaner and the rainford goby seems to help do a good job on the rocks and sand as well.

 

Even the little shrimplet carefully cleans around new frags and picks at the rock.

 

Everything so far has stayed nice and tidy without my help.

Well the ICU is out.... everything was trying to sting and fight with everything else...

 

A real battle royal lol I even tried to give everything space! How rude 😛

 

I didn't know favia could throw out some 5 inch sweepers! The mushrooms also went after my blastos stretching waaay out...they took out a couple heads. Can ya corals just chill out?

 

I pulled the mushies and pulled the favia...

 

back to the drawing board. The SPS are working because they can't sting each other lol Maybe just go with more SPS to keep it simple.

 

Maybe some lepto would work if so can find some In this crazy world! 

 

I added two tiny cleaner shrimp...they are cute and would like them in my 80g but they are much too small for that right now.

I put them about two inches apart but it was a favia vs favia war. Sucks... I really like favia.

Life has started to show up on the rock. All beneficial so far. Most hard to get a good photograph of and some I can't ID.

 

One little odd thing is this little guy with a spout. Tunicate maybe? a crazy looking sponge?

Looks like a really fuzzy tunicate. I could be wrong though. 🤔

FTS update

 

Everything seems to be going well. The Digi and Spongedos Monti I added last night so they still kind of pissed... hopefully they settle in.

 

Hoping to see coralline start on the back soon.

 

I am saving the top spots for some acros but need growth and coralline first.

 

Got all 3 fish in the shot if you can find em.

I found the Pictus! And the second one at the bottom. Can't see a third though. 🧐

One of his favorite hang out spots.MVIMG_20200511_023840.thumb.jpg.45ab1ffe7d3fd9a5373f9ccbbb2db9a9.jpg

 

 

I found mine yesterday night: 🙂 

 

 

Love these guys so much. Very hardy too - mine's almost/around 2-years-old, if I'm not mistaken. 🙂

I noticed my pump somehow got loose/unplugged and was not running. Not sure how many days as I have been working long hours. I had one loss from it... My rainfords goby... probably from oxygen but not sure..my acan was trying to eat his body. The other two fish are fine and eating. The corals seem okay too.

 

I bought two scroll corals a week or two ago. I just love the one @WV Reefer has! 

 

I have one spot left that l want to put a coral at... Then just try and keep my hands out as much as possible.

Current FTS. I can not get the orange Digi to be happy. I turned down the whites (hence the very blue photo) and will try and reacclimate it. It is so pissy.
