Great looking tank!

 

[Yojoe10]

Well thank you! It's got a loooong way to go to be where I want it but baby steps right?

 

[Yojoe10]

Really wanting to do a completely new aquascape that is cemented with e Marco mortar but that will require a tank reset which I can't really do right now without risking losing livestock. I feel like that is the key in getting my reef to really take off finally as then I can truly place corals appropriately in the tank with ample lighting, space, and flow.

Nice tank but you should work on getting rid of that bubble algae before it gets out of hand. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Yojoe10]

Yeah it comes and goes for some reason. Not sure I can get rid of it totally unless I nuke the rock and start fresh. Only other option is a predator and I know I'm not even thinking about putting and emerald crab in there. Don't trust those demons with claws.

 

[Angel53]

You may want to get a small foxface. They eat bubble algae.
