I got called a master again the other day, it makes me very uncomfortable, I just do things how I think they should be done.
Running a mixed reef is very fulfilling for me, and apparently easy!
It is easy but takes a lot of planning and patience.
I guess it is an approach, aquaculture, mariculture, it is not a definable "system" it is creating a system that should have the ability to deal with nutrient import, feeding fish, they poop, nutrients are created, things absorb those nutrients.

I went though 18 months of pain getting this about right, over the years I figured out what I did wrong, I should have started it macro algae heavy, I am just a bloke doing things differently and trying to learn more!

The one thing I would say is that higher nutrients seem, imo to makes tanks more adaptable, corals might not be super colo(U)rs but they will be healthy!

I cannot only enjoy the view of your tank, great job. It doesn’t matter what people say, of the tank is happy like this then you are doing the right thing !

Thank you, I love it, after some reading the other day I have even bought some probiotic food, again from interesting reading, hopefully it will filter through the whole tank.

I have been exploring that as well. I would love to try probiotic salt. @Manose uses it.

Thank you, I lost 5 acros when the bulk head let go and fried most of my electrics, I have added 5 new acros, I will hopefully enjoy watching them grow.
I got a bit too fixated on acros, I need to get back to enjoying my mixed reef!

Have you tried New Life Spectrum probiotic pellets? Everything in our tank loves it.

In theory I have about 10 more days to work before they make me redundant, can't wait, the axe has been hanging over me for 6 months now, I need to re boot now and move on!

5 day weekend, possibly only 6 or 7 days before they lay me off , they can suck my H8888 888 888K

I have 5 days off, it is pay day today and I am going to an lfs that had a re-fit, it's new marine section is about 2 months old and they had a big stock delivery yesterday!

Good detailed pics, those pinks corals look awesome. Looking forward for the. New acquisitions.

What are you really hoping to find, Simon? Perhaps you are hoping to be surprised by something. Oooo, I cannot wait!

Thanks, they use a wholesaler that my lfs use but they also import so often have interesting bits, we will see!

Yes the clown is a community fish, these two "play" quite often together!

I always think “Tears of a Clown” when I see him.

I got two new corals at the refurbed lfs, great set up, they showed me the engine room!
The skimmer was taller than me!
Very healthy looking fish, I was very tempted by one particular fish!
The acro was from my normal lfs on the way back home, all in for about 15 minutes when I took this.

 

[najer]

The goni about an hour later!
