Updated FTS, added a few more corals in. [emoji16] I also put in 4 sexy shrimp! Very fun to watch, and very social.

Feel free to ask questions!

Hi!

Hi!

Heyy! Thought I'd get another tank thread up somewhere else so I could get some more feedback. Not cheating on NR, I swear! [emoji23]

Looks good so far!

Your reef looks to be going good. How old is your tank?

Tank was first wet on October 28th. So two months. It just looks matured because this is the tank I downsized to from my 65 gallon.

Got it when I bought someone's old setup. Think they got it from a LFS called Reef Geeks of Chicago. Don't know for sure.

 

[Gonebad395]

Oh right on are you from the Chicago land area I’m from NWI

 

[Joevember]

Yep, in Northern Chicago.

 

[Gonebad395]

Oh right on man nice to see a fellow local reefer. You ever come across any other rock nems let me know that’s the direction of my tank.

Make sense. I just asked as I noticed the tank walls are pretty prestin and corals look established.

 

[actik]

omg...i hope my future tank is this beautiful.

Had an 18° temp swing that took out my red/green acan and setosa (favorite sps) because I forgot to turn my heater back on after a WC... Also almost lost my RFA to my mp10. But a week after the tank looks great. Have a little trouble with my bubble coral placement too, it really went in on my blastos.
Anyways, here are some cool pics with blues and filter on:

Man...good to hear it was not worst than it could have been with that big of temperature change.

I see you have torches on their own island. I just don't see how in a nano tank other people can get away with mixing peaceful and semi-aggressive coral long term. I had a favia that literally eat a big blasto head right in front of my eyes just because I was stupid enough to place it close to it. I also have a button scoly that it almost half gone because a small torch fell on it and just recently one of the hammer sweeping tentacles touched it and left it's mark. Luckily the thing is now healing and recovering. Crazy warfare we have within our own tank :mad:
