Five-Month Full Tank Record

This tank originally didn’t have many issues with the aquascaping that I was dissatisfied with. However, the constant collapse of the scape forced me to break down and rebuild it.


The most painful part was having to restart with the corals that had already formed a nice scene. It’s another story starting from a chaotic pile of broken branches. But… with more and more experience accumulated, it seems to be somewhat useful now. I’m getting better at handling issues as they arise.


Overall, the tank rebuild went smoothly, with only a few corals lost—everything else is doing fine. Both the corals that stayed and the new ones added have mostly survived.


But the tank rebuild wasn’t entirely without gains.


Now it seems I can finally keep Acropora tenuis alive~


Though it doesn’t seem to have much to do with the rebuild itself?


(It seems more related to slightly raising the nutrient levels.)

 
Man I’m love the way you have your aquascape set up! The corals you have In their look like they are doing great!
