Redneck Fusion 20

[flchamp89]

WC complete. Media reactor and skimmer maintenance day. Switched chemi pure elite last week.


So I went to 2 days a week with the roids. Nutrients increased. Coral improved. I had dropped my flow slightly a few back and yesterday I had a tiny patch of cyno on the sand. This balance thing can be a challenge. Overall again not going to complain CUC stirred it up. Two frags from this week's order didn't open which was odd as most everything from that vendor open quick. Kicking around the idea of a porcelain crab.

Looking decent.

I second a Porcelain Crab. You may not see them a lot if you get ones that live in the rock, but then it always feels so special when you do. If you keep a little white one in an anemone, though, they tend to feel safer and you see them more.

Anemone in my tank would be a disaster lol. But your right. I had one year's ago to me they are similar to some clowns and often host other corals. I think I'll pull the trigger.

Would a mini maxi carpet anemone or a rock flower anemone host an anemone porcelain crab? Would they work in your tank? I have seen both and love them, though I don’t know much about either.

I think they would host those. I'm about max density lol. I really like RFA. I can afford anything that moves lol

Wondering when you may need to explain to your spouse the "need" of a "spill-over" tank?

Oh Yeah!!! Evo is an awesome tank. Great setup for a RFA dominate tank.

lmk if you need anything. Mine's a pretty simple setup.

Maintenance day tomorrow

Random pics. Turned off acclimation mode lol I like the look hope corals do. Roids 2 x week might be helping. A touch of cyno showed up on sand. Increased flow and will go to a little less roids at each feeding. I think small multiple should be better than one larger.

very nice !

 

[flchamp89]

very nice !

Thank you much appreciated

Everything is looking great! This tank is going to have some amazing color and texture! Excited for you for the evo13 as well. Hope that goes smoothly. RFAs are absolutely stunning and will make a great dedicated setup. Good luck!

A blue FTS

 

[jeeperreefer]

very colorful ! looking good.

I figure cyno came due to lower flow and 2 x week roids. Never got bad but I think after a couple of weeks I'm making progress with manual removal max flow and vibrant.Next week I will have eclipsed 6 months wet. Very few losses so I'm not letting a little cyno get me down. Cleaned all equipment with my WC today. I've wondered why I don't have more coraline as there's plenty here and there. My sump is loaded with it lol. So my zoas are looking great increasing nutrients but the cyno lol. I'm overall happy.

Looking good.

I have observed once things starts settling down, aquatic flow starts becoming important as each coral start jockeying for position.
