First build 40 gal aio

[fl3xlinton]

Update. 12-7-19 went to a lfs an hour away and bought a hurricane blasto frag for 25 bucks. He had 3 heads on him went to another lfs who owed me some in store credit and they gave me 3 frags. I got some red zoanthids. Nothin special a pink and blue mushroom and a rock nem. Got them all set where they like the zoas and nem opened up but the blasto is still a little closed up. But one of the heads is open.

The zoas. I don’t have a blue light filter so they all look bad but they are opened up and happy.

The rock nem and the blastos

The mushroom

I will try to get a better picture of the new corals when I get a blue light filter. Because I had my white light on in those pics but it showed pure blue

 

[fl3xlinton]

Update on the corals. The blasto is all but dead except for one head which probably won’t make it much longer. There are worm looking things hanging off all around it looks like a parasite type thing to me.

 

[fl3xlinton]

Good news tho I think my mushroom split? Was one piece before

 

[fl3xlinton]

I acquired a green Indo splattered hammer. He’s doing just fine so far.

Rock nem is still doing good. But I haven’t quite figured out how to get this lens to work without the circles around it. I’ll get there!

 

[fl3xlinton]

Gsp growing polyps like crazy but I haven’t noticed a change in size. Seems like there’s 3 new polyps a day but no noticeable increase on the size of the mat since I first bought it.

 

[fl3xlinton]

Got some more coral in the mail today hopefully they are all alive when I get home!

Get that GSP off the rock or your whole tank will be covered in GSP in a year or two! Also get some test kits so you don't have to rely on your LFS to track your parameters. You look dedicated, wishing you best of luck!

Thanks! I got test kits but not all I need. They test mag cal alk those are the ones I need. and they told me I can just cut it with a razor blade! Other than that it grows like crazy I actually like it! It’s on a rock all by itself and I think it can have that one rock and be okay.

Looking closely at the frag plug I’m noticing a lot of white fuzz and on the corals themselves too. Not sure what it is
