Mine is doing alright, so I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed.

So I picked up this little Sally lightfoot today and some more turbo snails. Hopefully Sally will behave herself or she will become a sump Sally.

This is my favorite thread! Thanks for posting the whole process and pics @Catchemall !! I've had freshwater tanks for 27 years and about a year ago set up a saltwater tank. I've wanted a reef tank since I could remember but was scared or nervous to just try it out, mainly because of lighting and not knowing what was good and having a ton of choices nowadays. I've been reading, researching and talking with people about them for many years and finally decided I'm in. I'm planning a 125 gal and I'm sure I will be referencing this thread. This was very helpful! Thank you! And please update us all!!

Dang @RozE that's a huge cmpliment. I appreciate that and glad I could help. I was always the same way with freshwater. I really enjoyed it but it's just boring compared to salt. I guess the closest freshwater tank I had that compared to this is a planted tank.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that way about going from freshwater to saltwater. And a huge compliment deserved. I appreciate the detailed explanations, the time it takes to post everything, and I really love the pictures of the whole process. Definitely a confidence booster for me. I've read literally thousands of posts, even years before I "signed up" on any forums and most people give vague answers if any at all. So thank you again!! [emoji2]

 

[Catchemall]

Anytime. If I can help in any way let me know. I may not be an expert but I read a lot haha.

It's finally started to settle in good now. I added my algae scrubber back to it and it's balanced my nutrients and I'm starting to see positive results from whatever that algae outbreak i had was. All corals are colored up real nice and growing zoas are exploding with growth. I won some coral auctions real cheap they'll be here Wednesday so I'll take new pictures when they get opened up. Got more zoas another birdsnest a alvepora and a Chalice.

Aweful pictures but I ended up scoring 7 corals a birdsnest, alvepora, chalice and the rest were zoas and palys. They threw in a dunkin head too can't beat that. I like some freebies. so 8 total corals. . [emoji23]

Nice man!
Looking good. If you haven't been by my thread lately (which I don't think you have)
This is my 14 biocube nowadays

but looks like this now

 

[Catchemall]

Nah man I'm liking your tank I've been by. It's amazing it don't look like a 14 gallon I like the montis. What size is your dads is that a naso tang?
