Chris' Cadlights 45g Shallow

Welcome, beautiful tank and your pictures are awesome. Hope to see more.

Thanks!

What type of wrasse?? Amazing

It's a Choati Wrasse (Macropharyngodon choati )

Nice!

Thanks!

My Choati has been a pretty finicky eater so far, and hasn't shown much interest in mysis, baby brine, or cyclops. Yesterday I picked up a thing of PE Calanus at the LFS, and she loves the stuff!! It's a new type of commercially available frozen copepod from Norway. Highly recommend that you try if you have a picky eater (like a leopard wrasse) in your tank.

You just don't see many quality shallow reef builds. This one is incredibly well done. The Choati is one wrasse I've always wanted. Yours is beautiful.

I was having some aggression issues between my Potter's leopard and my Blue-Star. After seeing it mentioned in several threads, I taped a mirror to the glass on the side of the tank. The Potter's has been so preoccupied with the "other" Potter's in the tank, she's left the Blue-Star alone for several days now. All is so tranquil now!

Thank you. She's a real pleasure!

If you look closely, you'll see the lid brackets on the rim of the tank. I keep them off when I'm nearby, but they go on every night, and when I'm not in the room.

Absolutely gorgeous reef! What's your top off amount each day? I have a 20g shallow frag tank and I'm losing about a quart a day...with your surface area it must be quite a bit I imagine?

you're just using just 1x radion?

It depends on how often the tops are off, but I generally go through 5 gallons of fresh water every 7-10 days.

Just the one. I do have the wide angle lenses, which gives me enough spread. Being a shallow tank, I don't need half the PAR this thing can put out.
