Hi everyone,
I've just recently returned to the hobby after about a 15 year hiatus. Am loving all the great new gear, esp. the lighting. I have (re)started with an Aquatop Recife ECO 40, had it up now for close to 2 months, Setup with quite a bit of live sand and dry rock, fighting a small diatom bloom that I got from my original water mix. (Have since moved to buying RODI water, and Sea Water from my LFS) My current livestock: (In order of addition)
(2) Ocellaris Clown
(1) Cleaner Shrimp
(1) Featherduster
(2) Blue Legged Hermit Crabs
(1) Emerald Crab
(1) Zoanthid Colony
(1) Green Hairy Mushroom
(2) Turbo snails (Helping out with Diatom)
(1) GSP Coral (Sold as, but pretty sure it's not, and can't seem to chase it down)
(1) Purple Firefish
(1) Hollywood Chalice
Current photo.
Unidentified Coral: (Foreground)
Any suggestions to identity would be appreciated.
Also, a quick shout out to @Neffly4u which is how I found this website, as I went looking for a better inlet solution for the aquatop, Neffly created a very cool add-on that is working really well for me.
Cheers!
Mike
