I'll test alk in a bit but I'll guess where it will be. :)
That's it for now hope everyone is having a great day, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
Remember what I do to my tank is just what I do. I'm not an expert I just love the hobby and hopefully some of my knowledge will be helpful to someone.
 
Remember I really wanna see what you're doing so give some pics please. :winking-face:
I have been uploading pics from here for my inspiration board. (Collage photo in phone) I have found a few rock scapes that I like to possibly replicate in ours.
 
Think 2 rfa spawned last night. Might have another spawn in about 9 days? Babies should pop up in about 25+ days. I hope. Always wanted babies.
I had three babies, there adults now. It’s over rated!

Really that is awesome.
What do they look like?
 
So I went ahead and tested nitrate.
15 gallon water change and basically the same as before.
Algae scrubber is probably just a bit too small but not really room for anything bigger and I'm fine with it cuz it really does help keep the algae down inside the tank.

Hey everyone,

Hope all is well.
The baby tang is still doing good. He has been crushing around the tank eating algae and nori but still won’t eat the frozen. I will have to try something different.

Here are some do the zoas I got over the weekend.

Just be patient.
At least he's eating something for now.
If he isn't eating frozen, flake, or whatever in a couple more days I'll give you some advice then on what to do.
 
How was everyone's day?

Thanks bro I did.
Much appreciated.
 
Wow!
Can't wait to see what those look like in the tank!
How big are the nems?
1 medium nem 2-3 inches
2 small nems 1-2 inches - 1 of these is for free.

Aren’t rainbow bubble tip nems super expensive?

I've never looked into pricing these cuz I've never had room for any. I've seen them in other tanks they're beautiful. :star-struck:
Do they split and make babies?
Honestly know nothing about them.
