Photo from Jan. 14th, 2022.  

 

Went shopping the first week of January.  

Added an orange ricordea mushroom, a great looking purple tip frogspawn, and two Caramel Clowns.  

 

Had issues with the Nero 3, had returned it twice and finally got one.  It does have a break in period that it just sounds loud and awful.  Finally broke it in though.

Got me a RBTA on Monday (Feb 7th).  

 

Added a hairy green mushroom, and a pavona coral frag.   More photos to come. 

Working on moving the Frogspawn over

Sweet set up. I hope it brings you years of happy reefing.

Seems to be early for an anemone. I always suggest waiting at least 6 months before adding one.

Lovely looking tank and the scape has plenty of space for corals.

 

I like the frogspawn where it is, gives a nice centrepiece to the tank.

I hope things are going well. Any updates?

I'm doing a tank clean tonight and try to get some photos up in a few days.  

 

So far, all is good.   Anemone double in size and split this week.   The Frogspawn is huge and lots of buds on it, should be ready to frag a branch for the larger tank #largertankfever we're getting downstairs.   Got a Peach Tip Torch thats doubling in size from when I got it as well.    Just doing weekly water changes, running ChemiBlue, and adding a little Alk from B-Ionic (testing doesn't show need for CAL yet).    Here is a photo from early March. 

 

Forgot I added a wheeler goby and pistol pair since last post as well.  You can see the Goby in the "cave" below.

Sounds about normal. 

Everything looks great. I love shrimp/ goby combos so much fun to watch.

Updated Photo.  Holding on to the frogspawn in the front for the next tank.   You can see a bit of the split bta just to the right of the front one (prob move both to the larger tank when ready since they have been on the move lately.   I recently added an Acan Bowerbanki, purple/blue on the lower right of tank.   Torch just keeps getting longer each day.  There's a halloween hermit in there somewhere now too.   Eventually, I need to clean up the powerhead lol.
