Current Affairs: A Reef in Progress

[The Ugly Phase]

Hi sent this tank up about 3 months ago it's 4x2

planning on lps tank and would like a clam but waiting to turn lights on i prio fish over coral so if the regal decides he takes a fancy to any of the lps i guess RIP my wallet lol

Current stock :
Regal angel
Royal gramma
Baby yellow tang
Velvet fairy wrasse
Midas blenny

Amazing fish! What are your plans in the future concerning stock? Looks like a 4ft with a regal angel and zebrasoma will fill this tank up pretty quickly. Make sure you feed a lot of food consisting of sponges (special angelfish formulas) for the regal, as your rocks are so new and the grazing opportunities are low, As it’s not a juvenile anymore he really needs a lot of this.

i love all lps so abit of everything what i can get my hands on really i know i want a torch garden as torches are my fav coral but its going to be trial and error maybe the regal will be good and not touch coral

 

[The Ugly Phase]

i swear i give the fish too good of a hiding place they mostly just hide and tank looks bare 95% of the time

 

[The Ugly Phase]

ordered some light was going to wait on this for another 2-3 months but i think the fish wont come out cause the light is dim in the room

lights are coming tomorrow

 

[The Ugly Phase]

Goodies arrived today

 

[The Ugly Phase]

Not a fish in sight see what i mean about giving them too good of a hiding place

 

[The Ugly Phase]

All that rock is just 1 big tunnel

 

[The Ugly Phase]

Been hell today had to figure out how to stop the regal angel bullying the baby tang that i have not seen eating for a few days i took the big cave away and left the angel with just 1 cave and seems to have fixed it as the tang ate quite abit today

ordered a acclimation box its coming later just incase the regal decides to work its ticket again and needs a time out

 

[The Ugly Phase]

Aggression seems to be sorted between the regal and the yellow tang, yellow tang is still terrified of it when it comes near him though

 

[The Ugly Phase]

oh also upped feedings from 3 to 5 that could of helped too

 

[Mrcote1]

Ill be curious how the regal angel is with LPS. A regal angel or majestic angel are my dream fish but Im terrified of losing my LPS. So ill be following along!

 

[The Ugly Phase]

So it's been like 1 week with the lights on and i see 0 algae growth anyone remember how long it takes for the algae to grow again
