Been quite awhile since a update, have some big changes that happened and think I’m back on track an happy with the results. Water changes continued an everything was nice and stable so decided to start up a refugium using the intank fuge basket and a Amazon ACKE grow light. Has been doing great and keeping nitrate and phosphates from rapidly increasing. Also over few weeks added a jar of pods from algea barn and some other mixes from LFS. Feed phyto every few days. Hope to sustain a nice population of them.

In the mix of that I added a Ruby Red Dragonet an he has been loving life, even eats mysis on occasion but see him pecking away most the time on pods. Also added few scarlet hermits and a cleaner shrimp.

Added some more coral, a small colony of purple Goni, a bright neon green trachy, 2 frags of candy canes (purple pin wheel, light green) and a golden indo 3 head torch. All are doing well except the Goni still hasn’t seemed to settle in.

I’ve always been kind of unhappy with my scape since I was fairly new to the hobby I just ordered 40lb of base rock an stacked it all best I could…..finding my local fish store was a blessing because they have huge selection of shapes and sizes and I have learned a lot in 6 months since starting this journey. Well me and my girlfriend visit the store almost every weekend and she decided she wanted a tank of her own….sooo one weekend we spontaneously ended up bringing home a 24g aquatop cube setup and we spent a few hours in the store building aquascape before she was happy. And I was jealous of it! So I redid my scape as well .
When you redid your aquascape did you glue the rocks together? If so, what kind of glue did you use? and was the rocks still wet when you glued them? I have been wanting to redo my aquascape too. Thanks
