Running 50% whites and 80% blue
Thinking about adding mangroves along the back wall
Anyone have experence with them?

The tank looks excellent. If you go back and look at the first image, you can see a dramatic difference.

The clowns are beautiful.

How do you like the Tunze 9002?

Thanks ! I took the tunze off it was taking up way to much room in the show tank and wouldn't fit in the back
Forgot to mention I added cheato in the back because my light is hung high enough to give it light

 

[DeepSeaReefer7]

Hey guys small update
Completed my first water change today I used Kent sea salt figured I try it out I used to use red sea pro and it used to send my levels through the roof

Coral list:
Red monti cap ( my buddy says I'll kill it proving him wrong so far)
3 heads purple and green hammer
3 heads octo-frogspawn
5 heads lobo
Green mushroom
GSP
Duncan's
Green nyphelia
Blasto frag
Added 4 stalks of mangroves along the back wall
On the hot look out for gold torch! For my center piece
And waiting for these
2 beauties in the mail
Pink and gold zoas

And EC snowy rainbow acans

I reduced my light percentage and no more Brown algae blooms
Also threw cheato in the back chamber
Everything looks happy and healthy

 

[Tahoe61]

Looks good, those zoanthids are sweet. It will be interesting to see how the Mangroves do.

 

[lukshannon]

Looking pretty good

Hey guys I finally have another update
First for the bad news one of my flurries died yesterday found him behind the rocks being eaten by my cleaner shrimp not 100% sure what happened but I'm going to find a replacement today

I did add a Ora orchard dottyback
Surprisingly he keeps to himself and is mellow
Second ive finally found a 2 head gold torch
I've been doing 4 gallon water changes every 2 weeks
I've added 4 mangroves about one month ago I haven't noticed much growth out of them

 

[Flameback Pair]

Did you put the mangroves in the back chambers?

 

[DeepSeaReefer7]

Did you put the mangroves in the back chambers?

No along the back wall of the show tank roots burried in the sand

 

[DeepSeaReefer7]

Alright so I had a string of bad luck first my geometric hawk disappears then my orchard dotty back disappears I decided to check my rock work for something that would be killing them( gorilla crab, serpent star, or anything) found nothing, then I forgot the top after destroying my tank wake up next morning my last fish left flurry clown on the floor -_- i can't catch a break

All coral and shrimp look good no problems

Went to my LFS and say this beautiful lightning clown price was right so she came home
Dubbed her Thor for obvious reasons

And for anyone wondering my mangroves haven't been growing because they were fully submerged they need to be sticking out of the water a little bit that's my bad

Well that's it for now hopefully no more bad luck fingers crossed

Happy reefing!

 

[DeepSeaReefer7]

Also debating on getting a carpet nem for the Thor any advice pros cons

 

[Flameback Pair]

Anemones are very demanding. I've been told BTAs are the easiest and I've never been able to keep one.

 

[DeepSeaReefer7]

Well I have a new update, I've done ****** up lol
My carpet nem decided to meet my mp-10 needless to say he lost the fight and was chopped up and was deeply wrapped in the propeller, that happened when I was at work by the time i got home water was milky white , and the coral was looking like crap. I ran down to my LFS and got 15 gallons of there reef water and did a 99% water change,
I ended up putting new chemipure blue, puregen, and carbon.
Needless to say I won't be doing the whole nem thing again seeing that the maroon didn't go near it,

Well happy reefing everyone
