Nice setup. Looking real nice. What you plan on keeping in there?

 

[Elgreco]

SPS dominant have some frags now and more incoming, all well except my stag that RTN from shipping but hanging by a thread. Wrasses Anthias mostly chill with just 1 tang and clams of course

Is that a coris wrasse? How does it do in a reef setup??

 

[Elgreco]

Yes it is a Coris wrasse . They are great at keeping the tank healthy ,
It will eat fireworms and pyramidellid snails, protecting corals and clams. In addition, it may eat feather dusters, wild shrimp, tubeworms, and flatworms. It may also eat parasites off of tank mates.

just wondering how you like the frag rack just bought the same one?

I’m happy with it held my 20 plus frags no problem and the magnet is strong, only small issue or feature I didn’t like was the expansion pieces need a frag plug to go through the main plate and expand piece to hold it from falling out, but if your using the expand pieces you have 10 + frags so it really isn’t a problem

Wow 1 year already from first getting wet...some lessons learned it takes ALOT longer for the tank to mature and REALLY be ready for high end SPS coral when starting the tank with dry rock ,I went through many trials of Hair Algea, Diatom Bloom and worse Dinos my take on all of this is Do Not Rush for me anyway had to take it’s time to balance out and using quick fix methods made my situation worse. I feel now my tank is to the point where I can start adding SPS .....again as the algea issues are gone and the microfauna sponges etc have exploded in the tank along with coralline algea in greens, purples and pink. Here are some photos along the way
