120g mixed reef build

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.

That sucks!!!

Really wanting to spend some time on cords managment and fix some plumbing issue.

Been having some noise issues with my skimmer and would love to replace it with a new tunze!

Feeling happy with the growth and color after one month!

Sorry to hear about your fish losses mate. Tough times. The milli looks great though,

Fallow period will be over end of next month. Putting in an order for my first pre-quarantined fish!

Starting out with:
2 Gladiator clowns
Purple firefish
3 Lyretail Anthias
Starry blenny

Looking forward to having fish again!

Been really enjoying the growth on this Tubbs Stellata Montipora. I thought it was an encrusting coral, didn’t realize it would branch out.

Fallow period is done. Looking to restock my fish, first order should be coming in the next few weeks:

2 mocha Vinci clowns
Court jester goby
3 lyretail anthias (1 male 2 females)
Fire fish
Potters angelfish

Had a rouge BTA get in the middle of all my Acros. Tried taking out the rock to move him and my whole structure came down.

One of my biggest regrets is not pre planning and securing my Aquascape.

As a result, I had to redo all my scape, which was stressful and awful. But the good news is I like my new scape more than my last.

Picked up a few corals this week, really starting to get into SPS:
Oregon Tort
Hawkins Enchinata
Pink Cadillac
Perlberry
And what was sold to me as Major Lazer but I haven’t found much info on it online (still love the coloring)

Following along! Beautiful tank! We’ve got similar taste in corals and fish. I’ve got a build thread on here too if you want to check it out.

Got my first order of fish from Quarantined Marine, 3 lyretail anthias and a royal gramma. Couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of fish. The anthias particularly were super healthy and active right out of shipment.

I’ll never get tired of this one!

 

[ReefJCB]

These clams have more than tripled in size over the last year and a half.

 

[ReefJCB]

Got some cord bundles on amazon which have helped, but I definitely need a controller cabinet.

Still having issues with my skimmer and wanting to replace it.

This Trachy has turned out to be one of my favorites!

Full tank shot, hard to get one without window glare but I’m feeling really good about how everything is looking!
