Before and after of the living room remodel.

Added some new friends before the Great quarantine of 2020 lol I added 2 bottles of pods, a batch of baby brine shrimp, and some phytoplankton. Should be plenty for everything to eat.

Tank is looking great! Really pretty under those Radions. Looks like a small clam with those zoas - nice to have a little filter feeder.

Just a suggestion, but you may want to slow on the bio-load and let your bacteria catch up! That's a lot of fish to add at once, especially after just completing your cycle a short time ago.

You may be an old pro at this since you mentioned your getting back in the hobby after a couple years and I'm just too conservative in my approach. Just keep an eye on those nitrogen parameters!

Thank you, I used Dr Tims One and Only to help with the bioload. Also I’m done with adding fish. Some are timid so I wanted to add them at the same time so there is no fighting. I have been testing my levels daily Ammonia is still at 0. I agree though and I was worried aswell. Another reason I got the smallest ones I could haha. I will definitely keep an eye on everything

Gorgeous fish; would love to have in mu next setup but...


Beauty Koran Angelfish Facts and Care for Beginner. May 31, 2017. ... Koran Angel belongs to "not reef safe" category. It does both eating and nipping the corals. To balance the environment, you could put the coral that resembles tree branches. For example, take SPS and soft coral.

What board did you use for the dry side? I am starting a frag 105 and want to do something similar to yours and was leaning towards fabricating a cabinet mod out of plywood.

I used the crate from the shipping container the the tank came in. 1/2 in plywood cut to what I wanted then painted black to match the cabinet. All in all fairly easy I just had to plan it all out

How did you build your control mount? I have looking at how to this for the longest time did you just rip a plywood? Is it just a tight fit which holds it up? I plan on mounting my doser and stuff so I want to be able to move it do you think l brackets on the bottom will balance it? Thank youu again for any feedback!

Sorry for the late response. I just use some particle board and cut holes where I needed them. Yes it’s just put in there with pressure no screws and I can move it any time I need to which is very convenient

Well it’s been awhile. I ended up getting some algae, flatworms, cyano and I had a bad refractometer which all cost me 26 corals. I feel I have finally got things smoothed out for the most part! Still have some cyano but it’s a lot better then it was. Finally corals are really starting to take off.
