Hey guys!
Well, I figured I'd start a thread to chronicle the progress of this tank. Definitely still going through the 'ugly' phase algae-wise, the scape/corals are kinda tossed in for the time being but everything has settled in and is starting to look decent again.
The goal for this tank is to have the scape be pretty much completely dominated by anemones (probably with some LPS mixed in) so the majority of the softies/gorgs will likely be removed. So far, the only Anemones in the system are 2 magnifica and a mertensii.
The large white tipped mag is a recent addition and unfortunately came in bleached, but it looks to be regaining some color. It's been hanging out low in the tank but I'm certain it will end up at the top of the rockwork once fully recovered.
The purple mag has been with me for 2 years now, it was purchased from LADD and was in bad shape on arrival. It actually made a quick recovery and has been basically bulletproof since, it survived 2 moves and a tank crash that killed every other living thing in the system. Not the most flashy anemone in terms of color, but probably my favorite animal in the tank.
And finally the mertens, another fairly recent addition
I'll try and update this thread regularly as the tank progresses!
Thanks for looking!
