Chuck's Red Sea Max Nano Build

This is an awesome set-up. How's the tank doing?
Here are a few pictures.

Not that I could tell. Is there something to look out for?
I’ve not seen breeding from Wetmorella species however breeding in wrasses seem to be similar so;
If they go up and start swimming in circles with a change in colour from the male is generally how most wrasses seem to do it.
 
Wow, beautiful tank, how are the 3 clownfish doing? I wanted maroon clowns as well, but the LFS always say they are super aggressive. I even saw 2 pair recently at Saltwater City.

Oh I had to remove one of the clowns within two weeks of them going in. I knew one of them would likely end up going quickly. So now I only have the two clowns, the Thunder Maroon and the Gold Nugget

Would love to know your secret with torch corals. Im over 2 years in on my max nano. 2 hammers thriving and growing, frogspawn is enormous, tons of other coral doing well. Torch never makes it longer than 6 months. Does well for a few months then tissue recedes to the point where I have to ditch. Only theory is alk swings from water changes or maybe too much flow.

Oh I don't have any secrets. I have lost a few heads. Some really nice ones too. My main problem with Torch Coral has been the flatworms that feast on the Torch corals. I have not been successful in getting rid of them 100%, they keep returning. If not for them, they would be thriving more.

Here’s a shot of mine - lost plenty of coral and fish in the couple years she’s been up but finally in a place where things are thriving and Im not paranoid about any sensitive coral (coughTORCH) brown jellying on me haha. There are more gobies in this 20 gallon than you can even imagine - obsessed with em :)

Looking good. Love the Citron Clown Goby. They are so cool.
 
Tank looks great. How are the two clowns getting along with the possum wrasse? Those maroon variants get pretty aggressive guarding their nem sometimes.
They do quite well actually. I have two possum wrasses, I am actually shocked at how well the fish get along in this small tank.
 
Old thread, but looks great. Are you still using the IM MiniMax reactor? Thinking of getting one myself
