Tank is looking great. Awesome job. How do you like that skimmer? I just picked up a 120 and can't figure out which skimmer to buy. Lol

Thank you!
The Bubble Mag is a great skimmer! I had the eschopp but it was not the best, got the bubble and it was a instant difference. I don't know if I updated that in this post. Congrats on your 120g! PM me if you have any questions, ill do my best to help.

I did not update my post. I got the bubble magus curve 5. Perfect for a 120g. The Eschopp was junk IMO.

Awesome to hear about the BM 5. I'm looking into getting the coral box cloud 9. They're on sale for $220 which is a killer deal and I want to plumb a frag tank into this at some point.Thank you!

I don't know much about the Coral Box but hope it works out for you. Seems like a great deal

It's the bubble magus knock off. If you look at the design it's basically the same thing or pretty close to it.I don't know much about the Coral Box but hope it works out for you. Seems like a great deal

Last week I added my 3 new babies into the tank.
They hide all day and come out a little at night. The 3 sleep inside the back area of the rock. Very safe. They come out maybe in 2 to feed then go right back.
Is this normal behavior? I wish they were summing all over all the time lol.
Cool looking fish tho

Today I did my first pump cleaning. I just did the return pump and power head. “What a difference” I probably gained back 20% power from my return pump. It was full of sludge.
I soaked the casing in vinegar besides the propeller itself. I have heard vinegar can cause rusing in the magnetic. I used a tooth brush and that alone worked wonders. I also clean up salt creep on my sump. I’ll do my skimmer in a few months. As it’s newer and I did not use it last month due to fish treatment.
I’ll stick with a 6 month cleaning. I had an issue with my optical eye on my ATO and I cleaned that off really good with vinegar as well.
Tank is back up and running like new!

Well,
Past few days my Tunze ATO pump has been making a funny noise. I have it in a RODI bucket of water with nothing added. I have had it running for about 7 months.
Today I got home and looked at my controller panel it said low level. After taking the pump out it just won’t turn on. I ordered one on amazon prime and tunze is sending me out a new one after sending them a receipt, so that’s good news.
Just another day in the hobby.

looks good! and yes grounding probes are never a bad thing.
I would say your tank was much too new to support a leopard wrasse. Starting with dry rock, it takes much longer for the tank to mature.
The leopards pretty much require live foods. May be able to get them eating frozen.
