Looks good! I am also considering a second 1k gyre. Mine is vertical and I am considering a vertical on the other side to get some more turbulence. Only concern is having the anemone on that other side, but he has never moved from his spot, even stayed exactly put during the move.So I added 5lbs of STAX rocks to my tank today and I love the rocks. I must say if I ever start a new tank hopefully in a year or so I’m definitely gonna go with this rock for most all of the structure.
I definitely don’t have the guts to remove to much as every time I put my hand in tank I break a sps frag lol this time it was the blue stag. But for better or worse it was at bottom of tank and not too happy and the base is still there maybe it makes it, so now it’s on it’s new shelf up top. Tomorrow I’ll be receiving an additional 6 sps Frags to be mounted on the new rock shelf I made. Also a a new chalice
In hindsight I thought I would have more space adding this rock but now my tank just too full I think but when acros grow it will be nice I did like the open space I had but a lot of these acros are just to close together and I know it. A year from now I might run into some issues but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.
It did give me lot of new spots to move corals so I moved the torch. And broke a rock into two and made its own ledge also I i used the other half to give my monti island higher and really create what will look like a floating island.
I also moved the Red Robin frag, the blueberry wine and the other small piece of Oregon tort.
Tank is dirty rock is white glass is filthy but I’m happy with all the new spots I have for now. Going to let everyone relax for the night as I’m off tomorrow and new Frags are coming. So will let islet chill and maybe adjust a little for everything’s final spots.
So for now I’m done with coral for a few months. I won’t spend any more money I do want to now trade some of my doubles and the green cactus sps crazy how you want all these corals and then you get to a point where you have too much.
What my next purchases over next 90 days will be?
Another 1k gyre funny I see people say in nanos my gyre Is too strong lol I don’t get it I need another one for sure especially with all this sps in tank. Also I built my structure off the egg crate so believe it or not I’ll say less than 15% of my rock is actually in the sand water flows right below all of it because it’s elevated. Either way I need more flow imo.
I think I want the ati hybrid fixture. So I see lots of nano tanks with 1 AI prime doing great I have a AI Hydra 52 seems like a lot but man to be honest I have a lot of shadows and my sps are only Frags. So I do think I need more light as crazy as that sounds so long term I want the 24in ati fixture to add to tank.
Also maybe in a month or I plan of buying a fragging kit so I can make Frags when time comes also to cut away the top of all the egg crate. Once new corals settles I’ll finish spot super glueing the rock and cut away all visible egg crate from top of tank.
That’s all I got till tomorrow. Also gonna make my second YouTube video tomorrow with an unboxing and what not so check me out!
