Did a super heavy feeding this weekend and 0 algae popped up. This is nice.

Hey everyone just a little update here: after losing my porcelain crab ive been researching other interesting inverts for the past little while that would do well with my reef, and ideally i wanted a skunk cleaner, so i messaged my lfs and they said they had none. So i went to check them out in hopes of finding some sexy shrimp (which they always have) aaaaand they didnt have any. But in a tank off to the left they just so happened to have around 20 skunk cleaners of various sizes.... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Welp meet Mr. Mustachio peregrine (not his permanent name but anyways)

Updating now, mushroom invasion begun + new rock scape, due to the new live rock I played it safe and decided to seed the tank with protein (since i have hidden macro algae) i did a very small dose of reefroids and didnt water change. No algae grew anywhere. So I did another one 2 days later. Still no algae so i did no water change. Then did a final huge feeding a couple of days later and changed 90% just to boost the corals response.

Needless to say there isn't a closed polyp in sight and things are going along.

My rhodactis looks like its bouncing and my spongodes is growing green polyps.

Also this thread is boring, i might stop updating this as much and stick to my nano reef thread...
