Hey All,

I joined a couple months ago, but then got super busy and forgot to say HI!

I have been on this site gathering too much information, and learning so much from the community. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!

A little about my setup:
- Reefer 425XL (running for ~1.8yrs, will be 2 in Dec)
- 2x AI hydra26
- Eshops 160 Protein Skimmer
- 2x maxspect xf230's
- ~80lbs reef saver rock
- 1"- 1.5" sand bed
- Aqua UV (forgot size)
- Apex Controller w/ DOS for auto water changes and ATO

Corals:
- 3x Ricordea's (orange, green+pink, and orange+green)
- Multiple Zoa's
- GSP
- And a couple others that I forget the names of, small LPS frags though

Fish:
- 2x Clowns
- 1x Tomini Tang
- 1x Yellow Wrasse
- 1x Scissortail Goby (had two, but one passed post 6mo of receiving it due to velvet)
- 1x (male) pink Lyretail Anthia (had a female, but she passed as well due to velvet)
- 1x Black and Yellow Blennie

You may be asking yourself, "that coral stock is low for the tank", and you would be right...

About 1.5-2mo ago had a mass die off of my SPS and other LPS, whats posted above, is what remained in the end. All params were in check ALK - 8.3-8.5, Ca - 440, Mag - 1250, PO4 - 0.5-1, NO3 - 5-10 (thats just where my tank stays, which i cant complain). I was seriously debating shutting everything down, even my small two nano tanks EVO 5 and 13.5, but I decided to hold out and just "start fresh" after the dust settled. I have been thinking about getting more coral, but I am nervous. I don't want things to die for unknown reasons. The current corals are starting to grow again, but I still have an unsettled feeling.

Anyway, thats my setup, and thank you all for posting! I will try to be better about posting stuff in the future. :)

nice tank - do you like the Red Sea? - Welcome to the site.

nice tank - do you like the Red Sea? - Welcome to the site.

Absolutely!

I got creative in the sump area, after some google inspiration, but thats about it.

I cannot complain one bit about this tank, it was simple to setup and get running. If i do complain, it was probably my fault and not the tank or Red Sea haha.

More official welcome to the forums! Very sorry to hear about your die off, but it sounds like you've got a great setup going and you'll have a fun journey regardless!
