It’s been busy as hell will have some updates for you , sorry for not keeping y’all updated .

What’s going on everybody ! I feel bad for not keeping this thread updated but as you guys know life can get busy real quick . The tank has been coasting along and hasn’t been my main priority lately . Their has been a few speed bumps since my last few updates . I had a pretty bad cyano, green hair algae outbreak I believe due to the rock leaching phosphates . I couldn’t resist a beautiful powder brown that looked flawless but after a few days in the tank it broke out and I lost my Fowleri ... Within a week or so the tank should be back on track and ready to move into the next phase of adding acros . Their has been a few new additions and I’m in love with the fish in the tank .
-mauciliceps tang
- chocolate tang
- powder brown tang
- m/f swallowtail angel pair
- m blue jaw trigger
- lineatus wrasse
-labouti wrasse
- African exuisite wrasse
- cleaner wrasse
- lyreyail anthais trio
- Bartlett anthias trio

Now that everything is coming back to being a stable healthy tank I’ve got the parameters in check to add some acros this coming up week . I will be adding a frag of a Ora Red Planet to see how it does then will place a big order of some unique signature pieces .equipment wise the only thing that’s been added is a pair of gyre 280s . The lighting plan is 6 radion g4 pros with a pair of 2 x80 w geisman retrofits .

The water parameters are right where I want them .

Salinity- 1.025
Calcium - 430
Alk-8.5
P-.02
N-1 ppm

This guy hid for 2 weeks and the day I thought he was definitely dead came out to eat .

The king of the tank

 

[Recklessryan904]

He hangs out with the Bartletts more than his 2 lyretail females .

 

[Recklessryan904]

He’s probably the prettiest male lyretail I’ve ever seen with yellow on his fin .

The bully of all the wrasses

The labouti doesn’t like to be photographed
