Dang I wish I came across this thread earlier! Beautiful tank man! I wish I had your patience. I jumped straight into the hobby all gun ho and it was a huge disaster. I had to tear it down and sell it. Haven't been back into the hobby sense cuz I don't have very much patience and that's what killed me. It makes me happy to see someone who was smarter than I was with researching and having patience! Seeing you succeed this well gives me hope for me getting back into the hobby hopefully someday in the future! Definitely loving this and your tank!!

Well I got the frags off of eBay to sample the waters I'll see how they look and if I feel comfortable I'll more than likely order again I know I got a frag of bam bam Zoas in this order along with magician but not sure about the others maybe you all can I'd them for me.

You gotta get back into it @dman3572. I
de-stress nightly watching the tank instead of tv. Just go slow and enjoy each new phase and addition.

What's up man, did you ever get those corals in?

 

[Catchemall]

This is what I have as of now. Looking to empty my pockets again as soon as the weather breaks. I was afraid this snow storm was gonna make us loose power but so far so good.

Did you ever toss it in this thread? https://www.reef2reef.com/index.php?threads/220447/

 

[Catchemall]

I don't think so I'll get a fts and put it in there. Thanks for tagging along I see your new build is coming along nicely. You still gonna run the bio cube too?

What's up man, how's the tank?

 

[Catchemall]

Going good have alittle diatom problem I'm dealing with but other than that all is well I assume it's a new tank thing. was gonna get some new fish this weekend but the local fish store don't take care of there tanks too well. so I held off until I can make the 2hr road trip to the good one. I ordered the Red Sea reef foundation test kit. Like to ensure they're where they need to be and go from there before ordering more coral. I see your new build is coming along well.

I know what you mean about lfs and theyre inability to effectively keep a tank healthy, or atleast give it a good try. Diatoms aren't too bad I suppose but they do get annoying so I share your frustation. Do you still have the original clowns?

 

[Catchemall]

Yea they're doing well kinda boring they mostly stay in the corner with the wave maker maybe that'll change when I get the a anemone. Every once in awhile they'll make a trip to the other side of the tank but they go back to the corner.

Haha! You know that they will host just about anything. I know this may sound stupid but it works ( I have my clown I'm my 3 gal hosting the frogspawn) get online and find a picture of a clown or two in a coral that you have and tape it to the tank where they can see it. It works haha. Mine wouldn't go anywhere near it, now he won't leave it.

 

[Catchemall]

So you did that and it actually worked. Lol. That's so funny and yet awesome at the same time. I held my phone up and they went nuts then came back real interested and excited
