120g mixed reef build

[ReefJCB]

Looking good this morning!

 

[ReefJCB]

Picked up some WWC AOI zoas from a local reefer, super excited for these to grow out.

 

[ReefJCB]

Picked up a file fish and a new flasher wrasse a few days ago. Hoping this file fish will take care of the Aiptasia outbreak in my tank. The nudibranches ended up just being an expensive snack for my melanarus

Thank you saltwateraquarium.com and Neptune for 10% off Black Friday deal for my new Apex!

Loving the growth and colors!

Thought I killed this guy a few months ago, but he’s alive and well!

 

[ReefJCB]

Got a few great pieces from @AquaSD that just came in on Friday. This is definitely my favorite!

 

[ReefJCB]

Another pick up from AquaSD. Gravedigger button scoly. I LOVE it.

 

[ReefJCB]

Maintenance day yesterday, everyone’s looking happy after the water change!

 

[ReefJCB]

Gonis have always been one of my favorite corals.

Top photo was taken Jan 14th bottom pic was taken 2/5. I had a rouge Aiptasia filefish that decided he liked the scoly (also hasn’t touched a single Aiptasia). He is now a $9 credit at my LFS.

Hoping this can make recovery, by far my favorite coral in my tank.

 

[ReefJCB]

Scoly is looking MUCH better. So happy he was able to make a recovery!

Finally taking the plunge into 2 part. Working on finding out my tanks usage and dosing schedule. Got my tank up to 9 dkh yesterday, tested this morning at 8.7.

I’ve been venturing into more SPS and am very happy with this Green Goblin Anacrropora. It’s colored up nicely in my tank and is staring to show growth.

Great build.
I see you're using the Reefbreeders photon. How do you like it ? I'm debating it for my 120g build.

I've really liked it. My one downside is the controller is a little clunky to program and use.
I have been impressed with the colors I'm able to get and corals have been growing well.

My clown has turned into a terrorist. Started to break the skin and will chase me to the other end of the 5ft tank.

 

[ReefJCB]

Top down!

Ugh. Woke up Monday morning this last week to all but 3 of my fish dead/dying.

Still not sure what happened. The clowns were still alive but heavily breathing and swimming erratically, they did not end up surviving.

I created another thread on this forum to try and figure out what happened but no one has been able to pinpoint what happed exactly.

The silver lining here is that I am finally able to get some Nudibranchs for my Aiptasia infestation now that there are no wrasses to hunt them. I also plan on going fallow for a few months as a precondition.
