120g mixed reef build

Reduced my feeding amounts which has helped with my cyano slime, Stomatellas have breed like crazy and have been help cleaning up junk on the rocks.

Watermelon chalice has just about doubled in size since I got it. About the size of a dime now.

Loving my new frogspawn.

I've got the QT tank set back up this week, adding a new fish or 2 this weekend. Thinking about a wrasse or anthias, any recommendations on which I should add first?

Something that doesn't eat young, tender corals.

My clam has been having issues retracting just on one side. My water parameters seem to be in line, I did have a little bit of a swing in Alk but it has leveled out. Im thinking it might be getting too much flow where its at. Im going to move it and see if that helps.

Great looking tank. I’m enjoying your thread. Are you still satisfied with your lights. I’m leaning towards their 32” for my tank.

I’m loving the lights. So much control and I love the slim profile.

Got a new purple fire fish in quarantine.

An ultra rare flying-fury-floppyeared-duffus fish. Pretty easy to care for but it has a HUGE bio load. Definitely try to avoid having it poop inside your tank...

Any recommendations for youtube channels? Ive been enjoying mad hatters reef and am looking for something else to watch.

Loving this fish, so much personality!

So beyond the customer service hows the sump holding up im your opinion, do you regret it. Im in the market for a sump and just stumbled across this brand, looks very nice for the price.

I've had 2 welds fall off, both were in non important places (handles for lids) so it wasn't a big deal for me. But other than that, it has been great. It's a beautiful sump and it has a lot of neat features. I'd give the quality a solid 8/10.

I have read that clams do well in an established tank and that feed phytoplankton. I have the same lights, I hope I can get a clam soon.

Do you have your whites lower around 15-20% I guess white grows algae fast... I have my other colors maxing out around 75%. Its hard to dial it in. What are your around? I do like my reef breeders!

I've got my whites ranging up to 25 through out the day. Blues and purples get as high as 60

Just started running activated carbon. Really happy with the the water clarity now.
