Florida reef's 90 gallon thread

florida reef · Jun 4, 2011

So I have just recently began documenting my progress with my 90 gallon reef. I have learned many lessons along the way both through R2R as well as trial and error. Anyway,here it is.

90g marineland 48"x18"x24"
20L sump w/ fuge
Euroreef vs135-This skimmer is not that big but definitely pulls the crud.
I drip Kalk and supplement trace elements, also I dose mag and calcium as needed
Lights are Current USA 6x54w T5. I'm currently using Wavepoint bulbs

Forgive me for my poor camera skills!

Some new chalices I ordered from Cronbred Corals.

Chalice I bought from a local reefer when it was half this size. Seller claimed it was a Tyree blue chalice.

Jedi Mindtrick Montipora

Here's a pic of the jedi mindtrick two days after acclimation. You can see it's a little too close to the chalice on the left. I'm guessing it got stung. I moved it yesterday and now it is already looking a little bit better.

The tank is constantly changing with new additions and small changes to the aquascape. Pics to follow.

How does your Arc Eye react to new additions? Mine beats the heck out of anything I add. I just did some fw to sw slow conversion on a few Mollies for my nano tank and the dang thing ate the Mollies almost instantly, I was not impressed. If I could have caught him he would been a resident in my septic tank. It took 2 weeks to bring the Mollies from fw to sw and 2 min for him to kill them.

Funny you mentioned that because I just attempted to add a PJ Cardinal fish and the freakin arch eye killed him. Harassed the mess out of it and forced it to hide in the top corner of the tank. The arch eye constantly chased him and eventually I stopped seeing the PJ. That was about 2 weeks ago, so I'm sure he's dead. I probably won't add any more fish to my tank until I upgrade to a larger one. I'm with you though, I have considered getting rid of the arch eye. I'm kind of attached though since I've had him so long. If when I upgrade to a larger tank the arch eye still harasses new fish I'll do something with him.

Yeah they are super interesting fish and easy to get attached to but I will never own another one.
