FTS from February. A 70 rimless (48x18x18) is sitting in my garage with the rockwork all built out with emaco. It will probably be up and be replacing my 40 in the next 2 months.

Added a chevron tang last week! About 2.5" long and will be going in my 70 rimless in the next few months.

Nice tank! What kind of blenny is that? Ruby red scooter?

 

[archaic37]

Yup, Ruby red dragonet. Took right to frozen and pellets and plus I have a tisbe pod culture going so he is nice and fat.

Once I get my 20L going basically all acans, chalices and zoas will be in there and I will be going for a low nutrient SPS tank. my 70 is going to be SPS only and hopefulyl should be set up by September at the latest.

I was actually thinking it looked like time for an upgrade lol. Well done!

I just battled a unidentified algae bloom of some sort that didn't seem to effect the corals one bit. My filter socks would clog and overflow in less than 12 hours the tank I could barely see 3 inches into it. Then all of a suddenly it went away as sudden as it appeared. lasted a total of 3 days and this is a pic of the worse day. Corals looked just fine after it went away

Great looking tank with great color. Your DIY LEDs are obviously doing the trick. Good stuff
