Digging this new scape!

Thanks. I'm currently in talks with another reefer regarding the start of my zoas collection. Sour hopefully I'll have something in this tank within the week

 

[Peter Dietz]

Found this black stuff on my sand bed. no idea what it is put it looks like fine black sand.

Quick update, got some corals from @Kvinal tanks looking Okay here a few pics. the Corals are Dragon Eye zoas, Elephant ear mushroom, and some pulsing xenia. Thanks again @Kvinal

Nice! Be sure to keep that xenia on an isolated rock. That stuff will grow on any other rock it touches.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Yea it's isolated. here is a new picture with them open and my new fish Olaf (wife named him)

 

[DustyXB9Reefer]

Nice! Good lookin little clown man! I think Olaf needs a friend though lol

 

[Peter Dietz]

Yea I'm gonna get herror a friend in due time. I'm debating on restarting my 40 come Spring.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Well here is my first hurdle....got a phosphate problem causing alot of green hair algae. Went out today and picked up 2 turbos, 2 nassarius, and 2 astreas hopefully with them a 2 gallon water change and lights off for a day or to can correct the problem.

^ part of the new tank journey, buddy! Get a good CUC, do water changes ever two-three days, and scrape those rocks.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Did the water change and added a few new maids, already looking better.

 

[MermaidTail]

Awesome!!

 

[Peter Dietz]

Quick update. The algae bloom is slowly dieing which is awesome and I know have 3 heads on my zoa frag, the elephant ears are opening alot bigger, and the worst news is that the pulsing xenia is going everywhere.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Quick update. Tank is doing fine so fine I'm starting a new bigger nano. Called "Da Cube". Let me know what talk think.

 

[DustyXB9Reefer]

Looks good! Maybe a little more rock to help get the scape a little higher up??

I am going to be transferring some live rock over but I'm also likening the open space that way my powder blue tang can swim around. Just kidding on the tang.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Took some constructive criticism and did a little re arranging. I plan on adding an arc from the center straight back. Put how does it look at this point?

 

[Peter Dietz]

Got water!!!!! Let the cycle began. Throw in the cycled rock to help start the cycle. This is what it looks before it settles.
