Hey everyone. I've been lurking on and off for a while, finally made an account. I have a 55gal DT that's been up and running for almost two years now. It's had some ups and downs during the learning curve and took a hit about 6 months ago. It's doing well, on a strong mend, but just fought off a huge wave of cyano and the wave of bubble algae is finally showing signs of subsiding. Long story short, I lost a Chromis, found out more about their overall habits and tried to adjust, but it swung too far one way.
Once everything gains better stabilization and the next build is ready, I have a larger tank that everyone will be moving to.
I've finally got everything in check and automated so that I only really need to check my phosphates/nitrates and replenish various containers.
Once it all clears up I'll start moving everything through to the new tank.
Current Stocking
Fish:
2 oscilaris clownfish
1 twinspot goby
2 green chromis (more to come, but may be with the next build)
1 bristle tooth tang (little one is causing the next build )
1 six line wrasse
CUC:
1 flame scallop
10-15 hermit crabs
15-20 trochus snails
5-10 cerith snails
3 nassarius snails
1 turbo snail
2 tiger sand conches
2 emerald crabs
2 short spined urchins
1 cleaner shrimp
Dosing:
Alk
Cal
Mag
AB+ (Red Sea coral nutrition)
Food (fish eggs, mysis, rotifers, brine shrimp, cyclops, various other zooplankton)
(quick growth pics on garf bonsai over the last month)
More pics to come, hopefully a full shot when the glass gets cleaned off.
