Ryan's 100g build

[RyanReef]

Thanks. The SB Reef lights have been good so far. They have much better color than other black box LEDs I have had, I have a light tunnel running on my old tank currently. My cleaner shrimp is almost 2 years old and well fed he is about 2.5 in body length.

I really like the cleaner he cleans my fish and tank frequently and is a cool addition. Zoas are looking good, but not a ton of growth. They were not fast growers in the old tank ether though.

First 5 days of growth. Left pis is 8/12 right is 8/17

Not yet but I have not cleaned it out yet. I think I will give it a full month. Also I feed the exit line into a filter sock to keep floaters out of the sump for now so I will check the sock for criters when I change it Sunday.

First acro (starfire) and monti (seasons greetings) the zoas are looking good and the shrimp decided to be photogenic as well.

Filling up

Mushroom in the old tank is moving over soon. Looking forward to picking up some new frags at MACNA

Harvested the algae reactor today, very happy with the growth. I put about a fourth back in and started it back up. Absolutely no criters what so ever in the cheto, this was never about pods so I'm just fine with that. But I am thinking about seeding the tank with pods from my lfs?

New inverts, starfish and anemone shrimp.

Nice yield!

We leave for MACNA tomorrow at 5 am. Looking forward to seeing all the new gear and corals. I plan on picking up 5 to 10 frags.

Whipped up a quick filter in the hotel room. Noticed the acros were sliming up bad. Filter has pulled most of it out already. We rebag and pack them tomorrow at noon and should be home by midnight.

Dipped and remounted the macna corals all did great except the shortcake looks like the dip was to much for it (bottom left). Also moved the mushrooms into the new tank. Now the 29 gallon will be a qt tank in the laundry room.
