Looking good always have some algae issues with new setup it gets better as you're aware already.

Yep. It is just film algae on the sides. It doesn't pose a problem except I haven't the time to really clean it. I am short so it is a chore to really get the bottom area clean.

Both leopards are out and grazing. Seems one ruby crab (red emerald ) has decided to go Rouge and munch coral [emoji35]. I will have to deal with him. Very happy with my new corals!

Looking good. How deep is your sandbed?

Naiad · Dec 3, 2015

It is about 5 in on average.

Soo with everything that happened I let this thread kinda go. My bad. I will link back to the other threads later when I get to a computer but the short of it is things died. A lot of things... I have a few fish left that I am planning on pulling out of the 220 for their safty/observation this weekend if plans permit. I'm going to move most corals into the cqt so hey won't be damaged then it is time to hunt out some pests. The tank will go fallow to insure all pests are removed and hopefully any contributing diseases addressed. I will use this time to get my inverts in tip top shape! I want to see pods everywhere! Baby snails and larvae galore!

These links should catch up the story of this tank for anyone that wants to skim through. Cleaning out a tub that is large enough to safely qt my large tang for the fallow period today. Weekend is mother's day with mom so hopefully start catching fish monday. Traps don't fail me!

This is bob. Bob is over a foot and a half long. He is about 8 years old. He has never killed a fish and used to live in my 120 with nano gobies.

So everything is all lined up to pull fish and rock starting Monday. I may start the rock pulling over the weekend if I find help. Going to try and stop the fish dieing/killing for good in this tank! Will post with what I learn. I have at least three stone crabs to remove for sure!

Fish in QT: Check
Pests removed: Checkish
Rock and coral back in tank: Almost

It is time to bring this thread back to life! Today I will move over the last of the corals, do a waterchange and marvel in the DT! pics to follow.
Fish will go through TTM and basic QT just to be sure they are healthy. To much work removing them not to do it...
I will focus on zeroing in my parameters and smoothing out the operation of the dt. Likely will be a pest with questions on this :P. You all will see why I am concerned soon though!
