Hokiereef - Red Sea Reefer 3xl 900 Tank Upgrade/Build

Also, Banggai Cards spawned. One day just saw the babies (who did not make it) tried to get them out and failed. Need a plan for the next time. Bad pics but they were tiny and in back of rockwork.

And to share headaches as well, I’m in (hopefully) the tail end of a cyano outbreak. It’s been 2 plus months.

Also I lost almost all of my high end torches. They just started losing one head at a time for like 3 weeks. I tried lowering flow, moving some, feeding them. Nothing worked.
I put a camera on them to see if it was a pest, but 3 weeks of watching I saw nothing.

Painful when almost all of the corals are thriving and your favorite ones are dying.

This hobby gives and takes, that’s for sure.

Sorry for the losses but bravo on the endurance!

Fairly certain I solved the mystery of the torch loss (and many zoanthids)
Lost 2 colonies of zoanthids back to back nights this week.
On Sunday I saw the biggest fireworm ever chomping on my Rasta Zoas. Wanted to get him so bad I didn’t take a pic, but he was 6 inches long and an inch thick easily. Mammoth.

I had them from my live rock and have picked them out w/ tweezers every so often while they tried to eat corals. This guy was orders of magnitude bigger than the other ones - here is a pic of a smaller one.

Some updates. Growing.

More baby Cardinals. Lasting longer than last time(s)

Which Clearview lid is that? My new setup is almost identical to yours and I'm trying to decide on what lid to order.

It was a custom lid at the time. The tank was new and they did not have a version for it.
