The tank has been running for 4 years but about 6 month ago I moved all the SPS and LPS on and decided to go down a route that interested me more.
So my tank went from this
To this, within the space of a few hours one afternoon
The tank was looking like a dead coral reef now, all the corals went to a LFS.
I wasn't going to leave the aquascape like this though and I decided I wanted something a little different to the norm, I decided on a bit of a rock tower on the left hand side
Apart from the fish, hermit crabs and a few snails the only other things to stay were a sun coral, flame scallop, pink spiney cucumber and 2 pom pom crabs
The tank has been running for about 5 month now, here in the UK it's a bit of a struggle to get hold of anything NPS but I've managed to get hold of a few things.
This is the system now
The stock list as of today is
CURRENT FISH LIST
Watchman goby
Mandarin
2 royal gramma
Crab eye goby
Fire fish
CRITTERS AND OTHERS
Snails.
hermit crabs.
2 pom pom crabs.
Orange frilly sponge (Axinella sp).
Red tree sponge (Amphimedon compressa).
Tunicate.
Flame scallop.
Pink spiny cucumber.
5 Pacific oysters.
CORALS
Yellow finger gorgonian (Diodogorgia Nodulifera).
Unknown gorgonian (Leptogorgia chilensis maybe).
Yellow sea ribbon gorgonian (Pterogorgia citrina)
Golden polyp gorgonian (Menella sp.)
Purple polyp gorgonian (Menella sp.)
Chili coral (Nephthyigorgia sp.)
Sun coral (Tubastraea).
Green sun coral (Tubastraea)
Christmas tree coral (Sphaerella).
I'll update with more details shortly of how the system runs and stuff that I've learned along the way do far.
I'm hoping by starting this thread I can get help and advice to improve on my chances of keeping some of these animals healthy
