00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Here are the new corals. The hammer is small, but appears to be a true orange.

The "pink" goni isn't as pink in person as it appears in the picture, but for the price, that's a nice healthy little colony. Maybe it'll brighten up as I move it up in the tank after lights acclimation.

Basic bali slimer. Appears healthy and polyps are extending. I just needed a little pop of green on my rock work.

I keep thinking about a pink lemonade Goni or maybe a sunburst.

Good choices. All three of those look very healthy and decent size.

I also have a fair amount of AI product (3 x Prime 16 HD, 2 x Blade Grow, 3 x Nero 3) but none are currently on a tank. I removed the Neros because their throw just isn't enough for a 4 foot tank and I removed the 3 Primes and 2 Blades when got the Meridian. I still like the AI gear though and will use it again where appropriate.

That's why I use them on the back wall to support my gyres and cover 100% of the flow in the tank, they're more of a support but they couldn't be missing lol

I had all three of them on the back wall for a while but, come to think of it, it was with a single 2k gyre so they were turned up fairly high. They were causing me placement issues. Now I'm running a 5k gyre and will most likely reinstall the second next week. I may put two or all three of the Nero 3s back in on low settings to take care of a few trouble spots. Yeh, I think (2x5k + 3x2k=16k) 16,000 gph ought to be enough for some soft corals or maybe even some LPS.

Busy evening getting ready to go hunting tomorrow. I will work until 12 and then we will leave from there

I think I have one at 60% and another at 50%. My gyres aren't that powerful, and there were places in the sand and corners that had zero flow.

lot's of rain tomorrow so I think I will go to a LFS and see what they've got. I really need a new fish swimming around.

I have no idea. not sure I will make it either. thought I'd go today but didn't get there. I'm trying to keep an open mind. current fish in there are 2 blue damsels, an orchid dotty, a mandarin and 2 orange storm clowns.

I almost purchased a Springeri Dottyback today...

Passed on it since it was already too big for the 8 gallon. First Red, Green, or Black (probably actually only Green) Clown Goby I find that's not ridiculously skinny will be added to the 8 gallon.

I also am probably trading in some more Strats and maybe even some Joker Nems. This time, they said I can buy hard goods as well!

only one that would be a no is the Royal Gramma. too common. But so are the blue damsels. I'd do the CBB if I knew it was eating and a variety. I'm not sure about the blenny, The jawfish threw around so much sand. Blotchy Anthias?

Gorgeous creatures!

I'm pretty sure my are springers. but I had such a pain trying to catch them in the transfer. I basically removed all the rock and drained the tank to catch them. Whenever my hand or forceps are in the tank they constant head butt it. If I could catch these, I'd even pay the shipping to send them to you.
