Our 75 gal build

Thank you! If this isnt a labor of love I dont know what is.

I have killed many corals lol, but Im working on getting it all good!

I see you had cyano issues at one point (only on page 10 ) Hope you got rid of it, I feel like I see a spot on my tank, again, and Im tempted to hit the chemiclear. I also just found this thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/e...nvegCJmktG6cxN5E1SXzbNIoQFDOOMljW0YVsypnUbF78

So maybe Ill be doing that!

You have a lovely tank! Wish I could get my nem to host my clown... the glass is hosting him now lol

I did use cyano Rx to get rid of my cyano, it has pretty much all been removed with some stragglers, lol which I suck out when I see them with a turkey baster.

Beautiful fish

Isnt he!?! I think he is still my favorite lol

I make a mix that lasts about a week and a bit and store it in the fridge in a big container that I pull out at feeding time. I add about 2-3 turkey blasters of food 2 times a day. Easy and don't have to wait for it to defrost.

I still am figuring out how much food to feed my tank! Right now I am mixing garlic, selcon, and one cube of mysis/ shrimp or mysis / bloodworms or a chunk of reef frenzy twice a day. I told my bf to throw in some pellets when he gets home since hes there 330-5 and usually I feed the tank at about 8-9.

I think my blenny looks like he has a nice size belly and so does my blue tang. I dont know how to gauge it though

I feel you, I try different amounts periodically, lol my fish are all fat and happy. I use frozen mysis shrimp, frozen bloodworms, frozen brine/algae mix, selcon, live phytoplankton and tank water to defrost in. I make about 2 cups each week.

I feel like I see some on my rocks. When we do out next waterchange I will dose a little.

I feel like my tank looks so dirty compared to everyones. lol People have some really beautiful tanks tho.

You add the phyto to your food mix? hmmmm

This might be something I will look in to. But is feeding a whole turkey baster or two too much for my tank? I guess depends how much actual food is in there. I have a lot of fish, and a lot of crabs. (I love my emeralds and my porcelain )

Why is this so hard. lol

Your tank is doing great, mine is a bit of a mess with GHA but it's slowly going away.

I'm not sure about the amount, I eye it, lol

Thank you!!! I have some in my tank as well, but I kinda like it. Makes it look like a real reef!

My thoughts too, if I can't eradicate it all, I'll just take what I got and love it until it's all gone, lol

I find if you remove some, the crabs, snails and urchins will come and finish off what's left. They don't like it when it's long

 

[Oldsman]

Its just green veggies for the fishies lol

Speaking of!


I put some nori and Dory finally ate from the clip! I say her take a nip.

I wonder if the yellow tang prompted this, he seems to be a brave little guy!

 

[Dani305]

btw, I put a 3''x3'' sheet in, do you guys think thats too much? I figure it floats around and CUC eats as well.

My long nose and dory were very hungry and didn’t want to wait after me finding the split anemone. Lol
