CUC update! Got my box from LA and everything looks great. Will probably get the hard workers from ReefCleaners, but these guys will do for now. Not pictured, a couple ceriths and more hermits.

After looking at all the pics of my old 40b and getting my tax refund I decided why not? Here's some pics of building the stand and the rock work I think Ill use! I will also be building a new stand for the 20l and I have some other plans for these guys once the 40b cycles

Gotta inspect my work

Mix of reef cleaner and brs tonga rocks

Not going to make a new thread as both tanks will still be running. Ill keep this updated as things go!

Updated 20l fts. Doing great, getting a dusting of the great light green corraline on the rocks. 40b is still cycling, put some rock, sand and water in there from the 20 so shouldn't take long!

Also got a few corals!

I got it from supreme reefs, its some type of acan. Honestly I've only ever kept zoas and inverts so it's new to me haha

Any fish yet?

Haha probably none soon now that i started the new tank. Not sure if ill really have any other than clowns since its going to be invert heavy

 

[powers2001]

Are you talking mobile or sessile inverts? Or both?

Both! Long term hoping to have anemone with commensal shrimp

Update! 40b reaching the end of the cycle, made it through pretty quick with help from lr from the 20 long. Got two reef breeders photons over the 40b as well, have to say they are excellent lights! Now time to start working on the next project...

Tried to get some closeups of the corals but it was a bit tricky

 

[Alucard]

Big update! Here's what I've been working on, above tank refugium Water is pumped into the 20g long via sicce pump then drains back into the 40b through a glassholes overflow.

Bonus shot: spaghetti worm city!!!

Giant Condylactis anemones are good ones for that.
