IM SR80 Pro build

I was feeding the fish live brine shrimp last night. I had the lid off like usual and I spooked my midas blenny and he yeeted himself out of the tank onto vinyl flooring. Luckily, he seems to be fine. Im watching him on the camera this morning and hes swimming and being bossy like normal.
I spooked him because I was looking for my pistol and watchman goby. They have seemed to have covered up all there entrances and I've never seen them do that before. Still waiting for them to come out lol
 
Wow, didnt think it would let me upload 20sec video lol


First off, you're tank is beautiful. I was considering getting the same tank and was curious do you have a up to date equipment list?
 
Not much has changed. Just letting the tank do its thing.
Battling hair algae.
Both my torches lost 1 head each for some reason
Oh, bubble tips are taking over. I have them on every rock so far lol.

I had a bubble tip takeover once. Ended up with 17 of them in an IM50 Lagoon AIO. There was literally no room for anything else. Traded them all in when I upgraded tanks and now have a firm No Anemones policy. I would love to have only one but one just isn't possible so they're banned.

Bad pic but you get the idea. Be careful with them or they get out of control.

Yeah, I regret getting one lol. I currently trying to stuff them in a nem box so I can give them away.

Also update: my pistol shrimp died. Not sure if old age or high phosphates. I was reading .6 .. whoops. Probably all the live brine I was feeding. I added a gfo reactor on sunday and phosphates at .22 now. Added another tiny pistol and she's already paired with my goby. My goby was going nuts all over the tank without his pistol
 
So I did another ICP test. I just did one a few weeks ago.
My phosphates went from .6 to .1

Calcium up from 280 to 410
I added a doser,dosing 4ml for upkeep

Iodine is still low, gfo must be really pulling that out. Going to have to microdose that.

GHA is way better. I bought a lettuce nudi branch. He was so tiny a few weeks ago. Hes got to be 2inches now.

Oh and my ballast for my front channel t5's went out. Replacement comes today... im not looking forward on changing it out lol
