Tank has been up for about 6 months with just clown fish and a crab. I just added the tang because his tank broke. He will go to his own home in a few days. Just the 2 guys stay. All corals are added in the last week 2/10/2020

This is the newest addition. Seems to be doing okay with everything but sps. They are killing me. I need to figure out the lighting and the flow. I have lots of research to do lol. I just got some corals in the mail today that had the name, flow and lighting on each bag separately. It was awesome.

My daughter took over the 120 gallon tank. I have a 60 gallon tank with a humuhumu, 2 bangi cardianal, a clown fish, lawnmower blenny, a shrimp and goby that hang together under the rocks. I have a bio ball sump with filter pads. I love zoa’s. I am Introducing them in my tank next. I have some Sunkist bounce in my husbands tank that I’m transferring to mine as soon as I’m brave enough to do it . I have several zoa’s in his tank also that I need to move to my tank. I do have a red algae problem at the moment.

Pictures of sump. Has bio ball system. My husband is looking at sumps with socks that will hold a protein skimmer. We have 2 other tanks and that’s how they are set up.

I sure animal control will be called for fish abuse but that’s the best I can do right now.

Hey, any update on your tank? Could you post pics of the system? thanks
I received a new sump for Christmas. The protein skimmer I received from my secret Santa aka wilsonline fits perfectly!

I added a few fish and the Picasso trigger fish I had in the tank died a few days ago. He has been acting a little funny but he was eating well and swimming around. We thought maybe he needed more meat so we picked up some other options but he died before we could try them. I also added some more mushrooms. I’m not sure of all the names but I know there is a jaw breaker, and a gonzo.

Here’s an update on the tank. It’s become a mushroom/ zoa tank lol with a few other pieces in there. I’m lovin’ the reef diapers. My husband added one of the tanks that adds water so your tank doesn’t run out. That’s been nice. Added some new fish. Put in a new light. I’m loving everything in it and looking forward to seeing the zoas start to spread on the rocks. Pictures are dark. Sorry about that. The blue lights are on.

Tank is doing good. I adjusted my lights to brighter during the day and introduced a Favia to the tank. We will see how that goes.
