sorry for the bad picture taking, the tank still is a baby and is going through the ugly stage. i think that i still need some more coral though. my tank also needs to be cleaned.

i have currently been having problems with montipora eating nudis though and i have my montis glued so i dont feel like dipping them.

Its been a minute yall but Im back,


I just graduated high school, off to college, and unfortunately my tank was overrun with Montipora eating nudis as well as ich:(

I had to shut down the tank, instead I setup a 180 gallon vertical Paludarium. This is half land, 20 gallons of water, and It houses freshwater species such as corydoras, a few tetras, and a few others. The tank also has 2 tree frogs, a red eyes crocodile skink, and a crested gecko. Its a pretty amazing setup and Im happy I made the switch. There are live ferns, driftwood, airplants and succulents. So so much life and its quite amazing to watch it develop.

First off, congrats on graduating from high school! Second I am sorry you had to shutdown your tank. We just shut our tank down a few months ago so I understand the pain of shutting a tank down.
Do you have photos of the 180?
