JBJ 20 gallon AIO reef tank

[Goaway]

Huh you learn about a new fish everyday eats cyano and aiptasia sometimes I have a ton of both. I’ll look into this fish some more ! Thank you. I didn’t mind the cyano on the sand but it’s starting to cover the rocks a bit

It eats detritus as well. Also looks cool.

This favia is turning a nice gold color!

This blasto has at least 20 heads growing around it. I have 3 types of algae GHA cyano and bubble algae yuck…. But the cyano is slowing going away…

After having this Xmas favia for 6 months I finally see feeder tentacles !

I have been dumping food in for the last few days it’s showing a good effect on the corals better color puffing up a bunch

Love seeing a thriving tank. Even when algae fights for a spot.

Thanks ! I’m also 5% away from my desired light intensity! So I can’t be happier

I’ve been dumping 3 times the amount of food in the tank. And tbh it’s showing good results fat corals the cyano os almost gone since the nasarius snails rise from the dead and stir the sand. GHA is still on back wall

Glad things are now giving you a bit of a break.

Small update some growth and good color ! The sps on the back wall actually started growing haha

Another update ! My male clown has found his favorite spot ! Amongst the zoas.

my sunny D zoas are spreading really fast my mushrooms have split , you can also see the Xenia spread to my glass my gsp is also trying to spread badly it’s going on the sand.

min battling GHA and bubble algae it’s mostly on my pumps. Any tips on how to help get rid of it ?

I usually clean pumps in vinegar. That kills the algae on it. You'll want to brush or spray it off

 

[shadow_k]

Thanks ! That definitely made a difference. I’m still fighting this aiptasia fight might have to get the file fish after all.

also enjoy this pic of my male clown living life

Been a while haven’t touched the tank since the last photo besides feedings and what not work has been none stop .-. Hopefully gonna tackle the cleaning. But things are growing fine

Just picked up a filefish hopefully it aids in the aiptasia outbreak. My peppermint shrimp seemed to have passed cause I haven’t seen them in a few weeks even when I put food in

Looking nice!!
Have you thought about upgrading to a bigger size? I think it looks fantastic, just curious!

I would love to have a bigger size more space for corals and whatnot ! But that’s for when I move because my landlord would have a heart attack if I move anything bigger then a 20 on the 3rd floor ! But I was thinking between 30-60 gallons

That's too bad but still beautiful tank!
