My 125g 3 Sided View Build

Dripping in, dripping out! They have arrived and acclimating

Everyone looks healthy. The acro of course is closed but it is of a good size. So far so good. T minus 3 hours and in the tank they go!

Well they're in and all are so far so good. The anthias are in hiding (which I expected), the wrasse is in and out of hiding and the acro is ok

I spot fed the new acro and my bm, caps and a few others some reef snow and left everything off for 40 minutes.

The pictures don't show much color either way but it is yellow with pale purple tips

Getting concerned. The acro after6 days isn't looking any different than when added to the tank. Minimal PE. It acclimated about 4hrs. For every drip in there was a drip out at about 10 second intervals. After 3 days in the dt I did a scheduled 10% water change. I'm also feeding reef snow once a day directly. Is this normal for this acro?

The fish are all doing great and happy in their new home. They even made friends with the other tank mates

I lowered this acro and it's feeding now. I guess it might have been too close to the leds. He seems to be doing much better

I odered flatworm exit and plan to do the treatment in a few days. I also ordered a Salifert PO4 test kit and I'm thrilled to say the tank has 0 PO4! I was using the API kit for this and simply didn't trust it. I was right

I'm considering adding some T5s to my canopy to accompany the 2 AI Sol Blues for better lighting and will be removing the pc 24" lights. I have a icecap 660 ballast that I will be using and will have to order T5 end caps. My thoughts are to either add 4/ 36" or 2 48" . I'd like to have 4/ 48" but if I remember correctly I can't put that many on this 1 ballast. Any suggestions?

So my pbt now takes my coral frags with his teeth and tosses them down to the sand bed off the frag rack! what the heck?!

I pick them up, put them back and an hour or so later he is doing it again :banghead:

I just noticed I didn't comment that I placed 2 60" ATI T5s in the canopy. They worked then stopped after 3 days. I must have messed up somewhere. Boy when they were lit they were too bright 5o look at lol! Waiting for hubby to get back in town to take the canopy off and figure it out.
