Clams remained healthy and well! My annoying clownfish pair decided to take a liking to them, and constantly bothered the clams as they attempted to use them as a host. I had to either get rid of the clowns or the clams, so I chose to rehome the clams 😄 I'll definitely keep clams again one day as they're my favourite reef animal. I'll just make sure there's no clownfish in the same tank lol. 

Had to be a tough call. May be time for a clam in the other tank…

Getting a large pair of c-quest lineage onyx percs for the reefer. Although i'm sure they'll piss off my lps I can't help myself from adding a pair of clowns to a tank!!! Always got to have a nemo in every tank 😉🤣

Everything is on cruise control in the shallow cube. The only time I ever intervene is to do waterchanges and clean the skimmer cup. There is absolutely no space left, the softies have really taken over. Photos don't do it justice in terms of how packed it is lol. IMG_1752.thumb.JPG.9689bffa12dce6f55179d743b5ca4dc1.JPG

 

The reefer is also doing good. Rehomed my cardinal pair and got one of my dream fishes. Wild caught clowns from PNG. They have seemed to pair up nicely. Only three fish in this tank, the pair of clowns and a fire goby. Very similar stocking to my shallow cube. No filter media at all, just a protein skimmer (same as my shallow cube).

I also just setup a fluval spec 5 with some crazy equipment. I was given the tank for free, so I just put a bunch of reef stuff I had sitting around to use. I'll have to take a picture of it shortly.

Not much has changed aside from my corals growing gangbusters... Removed the sand in the reefer, and couldn't be happier. Will never run a reef with sand again. Inappropriate reefer took a trip up to me from the states, so now I have a piece of the bahama llama willow! Sent him home with my RRC Japanese Green Willow. 

 

Here's a short clip of my RRC Willow from Taiwan. It's been taking off https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtIbMjss5ob/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Nice! Mine grows pretty well yeah. Give it lots of high random flow and plenty of light. The polyps on yours are a bit retracted and that might solve the issue.

Toadstool looks great. Only now putting together that you’re rapfrog on insta. Still crossing these fingers to trade frags one day! Sarcophyton is my passion. Let me know if you want a Frag of this guy.
