What are you going with for lighting? I had 2 XR-15s and then I just did a retrofit with a reefbrite. Much happier with it now as there’s so much less shadowing

went with the Ai16

new lights are set ai16 with 18” arms

Coralline algae growth popping. Alkalinity is taking a hit. Making a change to redsea coral salt for next water change. Time to get dosing regimen in order.

One year anniversary is coming up here is the tank. I’ve done a better job stocking the tank than adding coral. i’ve lost a few Coral over the last year BTA, hammer and two acros. Currently my only success has been with a torch and a frog spawn. I recently picked up bta, rock anemone and hammer they’ve been in tank for two weeks with no issues so crossing my fingers.


Current stock

• Ocellaris
• Storm
• valentini puffer
• 2 pj cardinals
• diamond goby
• tomini tang
• flame angel
• 3 mexican turbos
• 10 hermits
• 10 snails

I’d like to get a tail spot blenny a mandarin to round out the tank.

I read this before purchasing my tank i do wish i went larger just because they’re so many more fish i’d like to have.
