I like the new Aquascape!
What do you use as a backing for the tank so you don't see the fish room through it?
I'm looking for something removable so that I can take it down when I work from the back of the tank too.

Thank you! The eventual plan is to use PVC foam board and cut it to size. I got the idea from someone local in the San Antonio area that was doing a very similar thing. Obviously I haven't gotten that far yet but slowly and surely I'll get there. I might go with a light or dark blue instead of the standard black.

Can't wait to see it!

Thank you! Nothing special on the nutrients, around 5-10 ppm of nitrates and <0.03 ppm of phosphates.

Me too! He was chill when he was smaller, which is usually the case with most fish. But I really never met an aggressive naso. I partly blame maybe the tub setup. He was on there by himself for a long time before the angel was added. I removed him and placed the angel in there, and then put him back 6 days later. There was a little chasing but nothing too concerning but something must have went down overnight apparently.Sad to see that happen to the regal. I always thought nasos were not really aggressive.

Thanks Nick! Its been a slow transition but fun, besides the fish deaths.

My VividAquariums confetti coloring up and starting to look more than just a brown stick.
Maybe one day it'll look like this!
QTing a magma wrasse and a flame wrasse... They are both divas and said no pictures. Also QTing a melanarus and foxface for the frag tank and a yellow sided fairy wrasse for the display.
Also, one Colorado Sunburst anemone naturally split so I finally put one in the display tank.
Then I figured if there's an anemone... There should be clowns in the tank... So, I officially have fish in the tank again. Had this girl since she was the size of a grain of rice, 7 years,3 tanks, and 2 velvet epidemics.
I threw in the flamehawk fish too. Can you spot him? Cause he can spot you...
You guys know my goniopora obsession... Found this diamond in the rough at Aquadome! Peach/pink colored with yellow tips!
Frag of it that broke off when I was dipping it.
Back to my FarmerTy ways... A slew of frags going out to Houston and Cali.
That's all I got for an update! Stay tuned!

Do you run gfo, I forget? If so, how much are you running and whats the flow through it?

Thanks Cody. I run about a cup of GFO monthly, just the regular version and not HC. Flow is enough to fluidize the top layer.
When you say a cup monthly, do you mean you change it out every month but you are running it 24/7?
Also sorry to hear about the regal angelfish, I still miss mine after I had to get rid of it since it was going after my SPS polyps like crazy
OP
OP
Yes, entire cup replacement every month and running 24/7.
Thanks, it was a beauty! I'll get another I'm sure.
