After trying to run some acropora in my small evo i've realized that they are too much work. As the motorcycle and sailing weather is very quickly approchaes ive decided to keep the sps i have but keep the tank to lps and softies. I added some tester corals last night and will update more tonight when i get home from work.

My current Evo has ich, i've lost some fish from there. probably due to my fault and i over stocked the tank. I also had never set up a QT system but do plan on it. I still have a Zebra Dartfish and a Highfin goby. Once all the coral is moved over into the new system i plan to remove all the cuc and then the evo will turn into my new qt tank. I will run the 55gal fallow for 3 months and possibly pick up a uv sterilizer also. Id like to get a small tang, a wrasse, and a red ruby dragonette. I cant buy too many fish because in a few months my girlfriend will be breaking down her tank and I will be adopting her two clowns and diamond goby.​
