Calmwaters First Saltwater Build

Maybe I really do need a road trip to Florida... lol

Taking a break for a snack since I had to run to the LFS and pick up some slightly bigger rocks for my gardens as I didn't really like any of the ones I had. I also picked up some epoxy. I had to put this little jerk in the acclimation (aka timeout) cage I won a while back because he kept biting me. He made the mistake of swimming into my net that I was trying to use to keep him away from my hand.

It's app issues. It went post pictures with words so I had to post it separately.

Aw that can’t be the little jerk, just look at the face full of innocence!

He's a brat he attacks my arm/hands no matter where they are in the tank. They don't even have to be closer to their neme....

Here's what I did today what do you guys think? I felt like I had too many zoas for just one rock so I used two to give them room to grow and possibly add more in the future.

That will work great Amanda, you can push the rock together so there touching.

The tips are touching now but I could also rotate them where the long sides are touching and it might look better. I hadn't thought about doing it that way until now.

Today I scrubbed GHA off one half of the tank and took out a few really bad rocks on the right side and replaced them with some that @Usarmy227 sent me I like how it gave me openings for the fish to swim through. I normally would scrub the entire tank but the last few days I've been having a lot of nerve pain from my back so I could only do one side. Hopefully tomorrow I can knock out the other side as it has less algea to scrub. I also bumbed up the strength of the wave makers to see if that might help some with the GHA.

Anyone know if zoas and RFAs will grow side by side or would the zoas take over?
