My Big Beautiful Budget Breeder Build

[Retro Reefer]

So I have played with my lighting over time and after reviewing some of my old pictures I realized that I had dialed up my blues a little to much. I dialed them back and turned up my whites to balance colors out. tank looks better, getting better pictures and @najer might get off my back

I am so considering damsels or chromis, can't make my mind up!

I’m all about cheap and easy I wanted 5 or 6 chromis but they are riddled with bacterial infections here in the states.. I went through about a dozen and just gave up;Facepalm the Asure and Talbot damsels I have are supposed to be the most docile of the damsels but one of the talbot’s is a little *** already and I’m sure it will get worse as they age.

Yes they are nice! maybe I’ll throw a couple of those in the mix With all the issues with fish these days I’m not really interested in larger or expensive species.. I basically just want fish to feed my corals and provide some movement in the water column.

Thanks man.. the new lobo is sick! I had never seen those color combinations, the ultra neon green center against the Tie-dye colored rim provides a crazy contrast. BTW.. those acans are always hungry I have pretty much stopped feeding them because they where growing to fast!

U feeding frozen foods or just reef roids or equivalent?

I’m constantly changing up food, kinda whatever I have on hand but Reef Roids is always a component of the mix. Recently I have been just using a chunk of frozen LRS, a scoop of Roids and a little water to make a thick paste.. my scoly and the new lobo go nuts for it!

It is pretty drastic. Definitely. Personally, I am having less issues and that is most important to me.

(and I would miss you and your tank)
