My SPS & Clam Tank

I’m setting up an observation tank for the Achilles. After the treatment protocol, I will observe the fish for two weeks to ensure it is truly clean prior to adding it to my display.

The orange bucket beside the new tank is a bleach solution to sterilize a powerhead and heater.

My clams are opened again. No damage.

I told my cousin yesterday to try to find all 15 of the clams. It’s actually a pretty fun game, but it was too easy.

I need to add more to make it more challenging.

Tell me more about the NSW! Do you still do normal water changes? How often do you get the NSW? How far do they go out to collect it?

Yes. I’ve been doing consistent water changes with instant ocean purple. I don’t normally use NSW, but I was having a little issue, and I wanted a big change.

He collects it during a high tide, but I haven’t asked for the exact details of the process or how far he goes out. He delivers water to almost all the LFS in the area. 🙂

I'm intrigued! How'd your tank react?

My tank did very well. The tank has never been better. I made a few changes to my methodology, and I think my tank is really appreciating it.
 
This was my tank a few years ago when I had AEFW. Many of the acros were white and pale. I thought they were bleaching, but it was caused by flatworms eating the skin.

Here we are now.

I like my tank better now, but the corals need to grow out to fill the area.

Tried to outsmart him by bidding him up…

Joke’s on me. he backed out, and now I own it. 🫤

I really don’t like blastos. This will be a painful souvenir.
