IM 150 EXT Shallow Lagoon

I finally chopped most of the red mushrooms off the old rock and moved it into this tank. Two weeks later some new ones popped up so yay.

At least I was able to break down the old tank completely and have a friend come and grab the tank/stand.

Here’s the tank as it stand today.

I moved some acros over from the frag tank and added some new ones from the reef conservation swap a couple of weeks ago.
I have a battle box coming early next week for some more acros.

I also added another panel to the side so I could mount two DOS pumps and hopefully a trident once I print the bracket

I mapped the par yesterday and I think im getting some good spread. I was a bit worried about the sides not getting enough.

Updated tank shot

I found out that my yellow tang had ick a couple of weeks ago. Before I could treat the fish my kole tang succumbed to something. So I had to catch all the fish and move them to a QT tank. Im going to let the tank run fishless for a few weeks to try and beat it in the main tank.

I had to build a fish trap to catch the the yellow tang. All in all it worked pretty good for the 15 bucks I spent getting it together.

It only took one night to catch him and sadly was only a one beer job. But all the fish are in the QT tank now and I have some copper running though it. This is a new one for me as I never had ick before.

I have also been battling some algae. Mostly it's on the new rock. There is a turf algae, some GHA, and a ulva like algae that is the worst. I added a few urchins to help.
