Clarity Plus restoration

[Sharkbait19]

Do you have someone who can feed while you are gone?

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

still deciding who will feed and top off the water

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

I have someone to feed my finny friends! My neighbor is coming over to top of water and feed my fish

 

[Sharkbait19]

In that case, just have very clear instructions for how to care for the tank and you should be good.

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

Clear instructions got it!

I am getting sick of all the algae in my tank it is starting to get ironic... there is algae on my algae scrubber.

All part of an early tank. It’s a good time to start expanding the cuc.

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

what is cuc

 

[Sharkbait19]

Clean up crew
The various snails, shrimp, crabs, and other inverts that help keep the tank clean.

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

my chemistry is incorrect and the clean up crew wouldn't do well. Plus once the ugly phase is over they won't be enough algae left for them to survive.

Just about every tank will have a cuc. There will always be algae and detritus for the cuc to eat.

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

I will have a cuc but not for a little while. I plan on getting cuc after my 2nd or 3rd fish

Love seeing old tanks set back up again. I snagged my Dad's old 20 high that was in the garage for 10ish years as my first freshwater tank. I've had at least one tank going ever since.

What's on your list for corals?

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

Corals: LOTS of zoas, pulsing Xenia, GSP,leather,montipora,duncans open to suggestion

Duncans are in my top five favorites, but Acan lords are my favorite corals I've kept. Duncans make for a good indicator of parameter swings and Acans bring some color to the party alongside zoas.

Love the plan and can't wait to see the updates!

-Vacation Update-
I have begun to write up instructions on how to care for the tank
-coral update-
I have decided I would like to get Acans as well and will be added to the list

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

3 days best case I leave for vacation
worst case 4 nearly have everything ready

I guess I have a clean up crew because a artesian star hitchhiked on the rock and has begun to multiply.

 

[GreatDane_Dude]

Only a few more days vacation is rearing and I decided to take some pics

Rearing is probably not the right word.:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
