Thanks. I'm currently in talks with another reefer regarding the start of my zoas collection. Sour hopefully I'll have something in this tank within the week

Found this black stuff on my sand bed. no idea what it is put it looks like fine black sand.

Quick update, got some corals from @Kvinal tanks looking Okay here a few pics. the Corals are Dragon Eye zoas, Elephant ear mushroom, and some pulsing xenia. Thanks again @Kvinal

Nice! Be sure to keep that xenia on an isolated rock. That stuff will grow on any other rock it touches.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Yea it's isolated. here is a new picture with them open and my new fish Olaf (wife named him)

 

[DustyXB9Reefer]

Nice! Good lookin little clown man! I think Olaf needs a friend though lol

 

[Peter Dietz]

Yea I'm gonna get herror a friend in due time. I'm debating on restarting my 40 come Spring.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Well here is my first hurdle....got a phosphate problem causing alot of green hair algae. Went out today and picked up 2 turbos, 2 nassarius, and 2 astreas hopefully with them a 2 gallon water change and lights off for a day or to can correct the problem.

^ part of the new tank journey, buddy! Get a good CUC, do water changes ever two-three days, and scrape those rocks.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Did the water change and added a few new maids, already looking better.

 

[MermaidTail]

Awesome!!

 

[Peter Dietz]

Quick update. The algae bloom is slowly dieing which is awesome and I know have 3 heads on my zoa frag, the elephant ears are opening alot bigger, and the worst news is that the pulsing xenia is going everywhere.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Quick update. Tank is doing fine so fine I'm starting a new bigger nano. Called "Da Cube". Let me know what talk think.

Looks good! Maybe a little more rock to help get the scape a little higher up??

I am going to be transferring some live rock over but I'm also likening the open space that way my powder blue tang can swim around. Just kidding on the tang.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Took some constructive criticism and did a little re arranging. I plan on adding an arc from the center straight back. Put how does it look at this point?

 

[Peter Dietz]

Got water!!!!! Let the cycle began. Throw in the cycled rock to help start the cycle. This is what it looks before it settles.
