ParanoidObseshun's 27 gallon cube

[Paranoidobseshun]

Thanks guys. Finally sat down infront of the tank and made a decision on where some corals are going to stay. Glued some zoa frags I had bouncing around the sandbed. Going to move some of the lps thats tucked on the left side over onto the right side and might move the one blasto colony thats under the sour apple birdsnest out into the front center and then put a frogspawn thats been hiding in the back into its old spot.

Been a month since any updates or pictures.

Current top down shot.

Sour Apple is growing real close to the glass now, barely have any room for the magnet cleaner to get past.


Shots of some new zoanthids/Palys. Starting to get back into them and getting some nice ones.

Bunch of my zoanthids.

New acan frag and some more zoas

Piece that started to stn a few months back. Was a Huge colony and most of it died. At the time everything was brown so I clipped off what I could and finally its getting back its yellow tips.

My yellow coris wrasse around my new mille frag.

Wow, nice new additions. What are you doing about the algae? Have you tried a bunch of different snails or using a bit more GFO?

Thanks. I have siphoned out some stuff that I could scrape off. I also picked up some brs gfo and a reactor as I think the small amounts I had sitting in a media bag just clumped up and didnt do much.

Looking great!

Thanks!

I agree with the small amounts sitting in a media bag, clumping and not being very effective. Just take it easy with the GFO usage at first, and go 1/3 of what BRS recommend.

 

[Paranoidobseshun]

Before I used like 20 grams or whatever in the media bags.

Beautiful.

Thanks guys!

Just hooked up the phosban reactor with the brs gfo. Used only about 3.5 tbsp, they suggest 1 tbsp per 4 gal. Hoping this helps with the algae problems.

nicely done you will soon need an upgrade

 

[Paranoidobseshun]

I do want to upgrade but am very limited to size as I live in a 2nd story apartment.

Reactors still up and running, gfo in the bottom and then I added another sponge and put some carbon up near the top.

Here are some updated pictures.

Red Micro zoa frag I picked up last week.
