Deep Blue 80g LPS and Wrasses

[leahfiish]

Gonna do my first water change today to siphon out all the debris that has built up.

Picked up a chalice from a local reefer, I used to have the same one in my old tank and loved it so I'm glad to have it back.
Toxic pie chalice



Also I've noticed a lot of bristle-y, fern-like algae growing all over... On the shelves, starfish, and glass. Not good. I'll probably get some CUC this weekend.

Beautiful, can't wait until my tank is that full.

Looks great!
Same tank here as well, not doing as well at moment, but here’s a pic when it was going ok. Not sure the issue at moment, still searching.

Have a build thread? Also I don't have all that much that could go wrong yet so I have it easy. Check back next week when I've got all the corals that I purchased on impulse.

Round 2

Got a bag of Hawaiian black sand and I love it. I'll be getting more tomorrow.
Also tested my nitrates at 2-5.

Looks good. I hope that the move down there went well for you.

Thanks, it did. Good luck with the frag swap.

I really really like some the structures you built with the tonga branch rock. Scapes with Tonga usually look like piles of sticks but you managed very natural structures.

Oh, Peanut, what a perfect name for that giant reptilian creature. What is it?!

Thanks! Peanut is a blue tongued skink.

@leahfiish I found your thread, looking Good! I love how you broke up the scape, definately different than most branch style scapes. I had considered the DB80 but wanted something with a little more volume and a true Pininsula. Following along yours will be filled up long before mine

Thank you. I love peninsula tanks but just don't have the space for one right now. It's definitely a goal for the future though.

 

[leahfiish]

Well I'm not sure why but I always seem to have terrible luck with urchins and this last one was no exception. The rest of the CUC is doing good work though. I think I will be adding a fish to my tank tomorrow, and corals on Tuesday. Looking forward to it!

After a few weeks of qt I now have a China wrasse in my display. He seems right at home, picking at the rocks and munching on pods within seconds of being in the tank. I hope he continues to thrive.
