Old Reef to New New to Old New

Here’s a little update on the 75 shallow. The transfer and new rock have been in place for 3.5 months. This is the right side where I EPO puttied the nw rock ( left) to the year + old transferred rock.

Here is the center of the tank the Birds nest is out of control and will be going byby the anacropora and the tri color acro starting to dominate.

Here is the left side new rock new frags. Keeping in mind I cycled the new rocks for 4 months.

So far so good nutrients still extremely low. Have not started skimming yet. Aqua max roller doing an extremely great job. Rolls are lasting two months.

Here is an update on the 75 Shallow. The tank is doing ok, the bubble algae is under control. The issue with the Monti's, however; well now that's a separate issue. I thought it was an adverse reaction to the Vibrant but it wasn't. I now realize that I have M.E.N. This really sucks. I dip I quarantine but somehow they were introduced. Still fighting low nutrients but no real issues with that so far. I just keep feeding, smartly. Still want 2 more fish. I think that will help. I tried to take similar pics to compare with above. The tank is 5 months old since transfer, see previous post in thread. I will start with the newer frags. All doing well growing, encrusting with good polyp extension. the favia frag has healed up nicely.

Here is the Green Slimer tt was fraged, moved and has taken off.

Here is the Bottlebrush still awesome. The Tri-Color Granulosa is still growing like crazy even the frag that I moved has incrusted and taking off. the Paly's have gone crazy. The newer zoa's are covering down to the bottom and the acans are still doing great.

Nine months since transfer to 75 shallow. Still doing ok. montiporas took a big hit from the M.E.N. Had to remove all of the purple digitata. Melanurus wrasse tore into them within minutes of introduction. Seems to have them in check for now. Here is a full tank shot with closer three part.

Wow amazing tank

 

[Mickeyt1reef]

Tri Color is getting huge.

 

[Mickeyt1reef]

Love the Bottle Brush although the growth spirt has sown down.

 

[Mickeyt1reef]

Orange Cap is doing well despite the MEN

 

[Mickeyt1reef]

Zoa garden doing ok. Some are taking off some, not so much. I wish i never would have gotten the pink ones!

 

[Mickeyt1reef]

The fishlist is complete, pair of clowns, pair of bangi cardinals melanurus wrasse, yellow tang, royal gramma, flame hawk, lawnmower blenny, canary blenny. Did not think the canary blenny was going to make it. The female clown can be a beotch!

Tank looks great! I think I'll be taking your lead eventually on the kalk dosing. Did you end up going with the Kamoer or are you still using a BRS pump for dosing?

 

[Mickeyt1reef]

Kamoer the continuous duty one

A few update pics. Mostly morning blues a few under whites. Here’s pink Cadillac.

An unknown, possible granulosa that attacked my pink tip. Notice the center branch was clipped. And moved to the other side of the tank
