JBJ 20 gallon AIO reef tank

I was going to ship out double heads of my pink/orange hammer to friends before xmas and freezing weather. 10 dead heads really put a damper on that. So, I'm kind of depressed.

When my gold hammer grows you and @James_O will have first dibs if you guys want !

I do have a yellow, i forget if it was called gold... oh well. I need more variety. I have teal tip, highlighter, gold, and some random color pink/orange. The one from joeknows reefs died when the other colony got struck. what can one do?

Turns out I will be working the 3 weeks after Black Friday. Story of my life right here. ;Facepalm;Facepalm;Drowning

I just realized I have to put these corals around so they don’t sting each other

Yup, the hammer doesn’t get any neighbors except for other hammers.

Duncan’s and Kenya’s annoy each other too I’ll figure it out hahah

I'll never know if my macro hammer was assaulted by my gold tip hammer. I still don't understand what happened.

I almost had a heart attack just now !

I have new coral arriving tomorrow so I just tested all my water parameters. And it said my nitrates were 100+
*freak out mode activated*

I was looking around seeing for dead things but then I breathed and then I tested again turns out I accidentally used the same syringe I used when I dosed nitrates. So false alarm!

 

[Goaway]

I hate when I mix up test items. You are not alone!

Let me just say these corals are maaaaaad only one that’s not mad is the mushroom ! I took pics of all them most are not opened because I had to scrap vermited snails off but here we go !

I’ll give them a day to settle! I had to move my big Kenya tree towards the top so I didn’t have it near the hammer candy caneor Duncan’s ! More pics tomorrow ! Or if they settle before lights out at 11 I’ll update !

Yes the Duncan heads opened right away ! And my candy cane has feeders out so those are good right now !

I’m just waiting on the hammer to settle in and the sunny D ZOAS and the Illuminati zoas to open

New corals look great! That gold hammer is going to be really pretty once it opens up!

I hope so ! It’s under the Nero 3 so I hope it’s not too much flow but I won’t know untill it gets situated
