4’x2’x2’ build… The Dragons’ Forest

I'd say your phosphates are low with that level of alkalinity.

Decided to pull the trigger and get 3 more shrimp after losing my 3 year old Cleaner. So, welcome to the reef;
Not food 1, Not food 2 and Spripey

Hopefully they won’t be snagged by the Regal lol

The regal doesn’t scare me, the Halichoeres do though.
Hopefully all 3 survive, I’ve already done the evening feed so the fish should be nice and stuffed.

I worry for stripey.... The other two will be fine I'm sure though.

I got a Peppermint. He lasted about 2 minutes with my Melanurus. Now I have the Mel and a Four Spot... Not even gonna try.

They’ve been in the tank for 20-30 minutes now and are still alive!
Although they’ve chosen a risky home on the Ricordea rock with my Clown.

Anyone recognise this beast?
The cyano will give a clue as to where it’s from

Well, ever since the water change last week my Tile has just vanished. I’ve had no sign of him jumping but also no sign of him in the tank. I feel he may be round the back but I am also wondering if the CUC got to him. Until last weeks water change, this guy was happily hanging out with his head perched out of the cave but that cave is now just vacant.

I may end up moving some of the rocks to see if he has passed but I probably won’t.

Hope he somehow shows up!

Have you seen the new Prestige Reef video? He’s got one in the coral farm already and so far so good lol. It is just Zoas though.

I’ve seen his Kingi, it’s gorgeous (Albeit I did skip through a bit to not be late to the live).

I’m barely watching it he’s about to show it. No idea what a Kingi is lol. Don’t tell me!

You mean a Tiger!? Lol. You could‘ve just said it was a Tiger. Honestly Kingi for the scientific name sounds weird

Some perfect news for SPS.

This seriatopora isn’t dead! In fact it’s growing!
Maybe the next load of coral for this tank will be a couple Seriatopora and Stylophora frags and maybe other beginner SPS (Avoiding monti’s for the time being as last time i tried monti it died).

I find that tiles disappear for no apparent reason more than any other fish. When they are gone, they leave no trace. Hope he is still in there.

Your comments on the stream are making me laugh. Still on him about the red tail hunh?

Duh! Hawaii will always be a pain for that

It’s been a short while since I’ve updated so… it’s been 22 days since adding the cleaners and, they’re all still with me!

And also a mushroom update;
My blue Discosoma mushroom was a pain to get settled and just sit on a rock space. Well, hes finally settled and growing nicely!

 

[i cant think]

And of course, an Ikea update!
She’s been happy munching food and getting fat from the constant food supplies I have in the tank - 2 feedings a day and well as you can see in the photo I still have plenty of sponges she feeds from
And likely I’ll keep the sponge population high with those two mothers in the sump.
