new thread it is a spinoff of my 25 gal reef tank where I am maintaining 2 tanks
 
alright so i have very limited supplies because i plan on moving all of the 15 gals contents into the 30 gal but today i moved my hob filter from my 15 gal to my 30 gal and took the circulation pump in the 30 gal and put it in the 15 gal (the filter was rated for 30 gals anyways just to help with the nitrogen cycle) because i need it for the new gsp i got
 
alright update i got a canister filter for my 30 gal and put a temporary light on it for a picture i moved around half of my rocks into it that i held in the 15 gal just to help with the nitrogen cycle and i let it run for two months and here is a pic i now plan on aquascaping (ik why did i not do this while dry. well because i was using wet live rock from a holding tank for them in the meantime and i did not want them to dry out) so i need ideas with aquascaping im not really familiar with the thirds rule but ill post a pic

if looking at the front view the rock to the very left is the largest of the bunch but i have two more rocks like that but are a bit bigger that i want to put into here one of them is shaped the same while the other is a bit flatter on one side and it looks like a dome but obliviously its a bit rougher
 
well wet aquascaping was interesting but i got it done but idk i think i like it but i have just been staring at it too long but my tank is too photogenic it looks worse irl but it might grow on me

i have actually finalized my decision i am getting a 24 v2 photon reef breeder thanks to some suggestions
 
i am currently dealing with a slight cyanobacteria outbreak but is not that bad but i realized that my API marine melafix says it can treat bacterial infections on fish and corals so can this help with my outbreak? (and i only use melafix for accidents but mainly for coral dips it works really well)
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
