New custom 60 gal cube

[TreyC2010]

Gilly (my sons idea)

Harvested a ton of Chaeto. I run it at night for 12 hours and it's done very nice.

So the current coral list in my tank is:
Meteor Shower cyphastrea
Red Diablo Diaseris
2 red/green blastos
Lemon lime micromussa
2 different ricordea colonies
Green hairy mushroom colony
Some type of echinata
Orange cap Monti
Green acro
Blue cyphastrea
Green Gonipora
Yellow palys
Red people eater palys
Goochster Zoas
Various Zoas

I can't wait for all these guys to grow out! I need to learn how to use a camera instead of my phone [emoji16] Then I could actually show how nice it is. Water changes are working for now as far as nutrients go. I have the dosing pump set up and ready if I need to start dosing anything. I also added my little hermit crab from my NUVO 10. He seemed excited. He'll be the only crab in the tank. Thanks for looking!

Nice job that chaeto looks super healthy!

I like your set up!

 

[TreyC2010]

Thank you. I've tried to take my time and not rush. I can't say that I haven't rushed a little bit.

Cool set up
Following this one!

So I need to move my blue ATO tank from under the table to the other side of the tank and I have a plan that I hope turns out well.

I own a flooring company and I come across waterproof everything! Haha. I (my wife) picked out this tile to use as a 'wrap' around the ATO. It will be able to slide over it and I could set a plant, etc. on top of it. The orange board is a waterproof board that we use for shower walls and things that require no moisture to pass through. You can build lots of things with it and they'll be sturdy and waterproof. I plan on getting the table out of the way and finding a new way to organize that space.

It's been a while so I'll post a little about the tank. I just did a sump cleaning. Very much needed.

had to get rid of "dot". She began to terrorize some tankmates and a Duncan.

my skull with an acan fro

i got a scooter blenny. He seems to be very happy and healthy since I put him in.

The tank is growing great and seems to be doing fine. I have been fighting a little bryopsis but it's died down for a moment. Still running phosphate reactor and chaeto and my Kessil fuge light. Hoping this tank will grow out and get me Tank of the Month someday. Haha. I'm also looking forward to mounting my new coral from World Wide Coral. Thanks for looking.

I got this grafted monti from WWC a while ago and its started to attach to the rock. I hope it takes off.

Just got this from my LFS. It has 4 heads and 1 dead head. Been very happy with how its acted.

Goochster zoas from WWC. Some of these were picked off by my old midas and they've started to grow there too.

I love this. Red Diablo Diaseris

Anyone ever had a pistol shrimp switch partners? I have a yellow prawn goby and wheelers shrimp goby. The pistol used to be with the wheelers but now he's made his way to the yellow prawn and started to build there. They've been together in my tank for about 9 months. I'd be jealous..

Looks great!!!

 

[TreyC2010]

A few iPhone pictures. I've added a dartfish trio and they're awesome and HUGE! I can't wait until this tank is grown out. I will have much more pictures then!

Disaster struck again... but I think I missed the worst of it.

My wife and I went for a 4 day cruise. My tank has almost everything automated so I'm never really concerned. Well there was a storm the night after we left, and, to my extreme luck, it tripped the gfci and I had no way to know. My tank was off for 4 days! It was also very cold. When I got home my tank was at 67 degrees and 29.7 ppm. I flipped the switch and let it run then went to start water for a big change.

Once things were rolling, I tried to see what had died. Only a chalice and favia at that point hadn't made it. Long story short, my red ruby Dragonette and those coral were all I lost. My SPS, LPS, and shrooms were all healthy and happy to be back in warm water. No fish were harmed or showed stress and everyone is now happy and healthy again! That all happened on Monday and we're still moving!

Could've have been worse. Sorry for the ones you lost. Vacations seem to be bad luck.
