CSR’s Lucky Lagoon 25

CarolinaShoreReef · Jul 20, 2018

Just want to start an aquarium journal for my lagoon 25 here on R2R. I have one already on NR (https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/390463-csr’s-lucky-lagoon-25-month-4-new-fish/) where you can find the details of everything and how I acquired this tank, as I am a broke-n college student who definitely would not have this.. lol.This is my second sw aquarium. Got into the hobby with a 5g fluval evo back in January 2018. Just going to post some pics of the before and after. You can find video updates on my YT- Carolina Shore Fishing.

Well that was quicker than I thought. Just as I was coming to feed it.. Needless to say, the rest of the tank was ticked off. I did an emergency 5g wc, added new chemi pure elite and filter floss, and dosed prime. Hopefully that gets things back on track. I was hoping to at least have it for the usual 6 months people get out of them.

So in love with the hobby! Almost everything is in great standing, besides the MS cyphastrea and green monti caps. MS cyphastrea was doing really well until I moved it to the top branch under direct light.

The chalice have shown tremendous growth since I acquired them in April, especially the watermelon.

My B&W clown has made a great turn around and is back to exploring the tank.

Leopard wrasse is still usually out and exploring but but has lost some serious weight (and color?) since when I got it. I started trying to feed once a day or at least EOD.

Pink Encrusting monti has grown quite a bit too.

I think that that covers everything besides the mini fuge in the rear chamber which is doing a tremendous job with the chaeto growing very nicely. I need to do the same with my pico evo v.
