Well you've done an outstanding job.

 

[dcarrion144]

Thank u I added a carbon reactor and a gfo reactor to help me with the water quality as the last time I had this tank up it had an outbreak of brown algae all over the place. I also wised up and bought an RODI unit to help with that problem as well.

Wow. That is a beautiful setup.

 

[RandoReefer]

Great start!

I like that rockwork!

 

[dcarrion144]

Just thought I'd update with some pics of the new fish I put in since this week

 

[Oscaror]

I'm dogging the aquascape! Is this gonna be a reef tank? (If so) What corals are you planning?

 

[joss.gamble]

That's a lovely looking bit of rockwork. Very nice! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

[dcarrion144]

Yes oscaror this is going to be a reef tank. I'm starting with the fish and the inverts first then going to put some soft corals in first. Mainly cuz I only have t5 lights and I want to upgrade to the kessil 360w before putting the more light sensitive corals. I'm thinking my first corals will be some zoeys

Any plan to add a symbiotic relationship to your setup? I used to love BTA and clown, but my highfin goby and Randall's pistol shrimp are my favorite now

Oh hell yeah. I too love the pistol shrimp and goby pair as well but my LFS never seems to have any. I might have to go the online route to get him. I love my goby he's my favorite fish in the tank he's got a lot of personality. [emoji226] [emoji225]
