Begin old news:
Here is what I have for my first reef tank. it's been up since fall 2021ish.
- 40b tank
- 40ish pounds of crushes coral and live cultured sand
- 60ish pounds of dry rock
- fluval 207 filter
- coralife seascape light
- jbj wavemaker 500gph powerheads (will be bigger when the time comes)
- seeded with pods and starter bac.

current stocking:
- firefish
- green spot dragonet
- dwarf hawk fish
- springer damsel
- cuc: brittle stars, conch, various snails, cleaner shrimp, tuxedo urchin, maybe a peppermint shrimp and hermit crabs, at least one emerald crab.

I'm working on stocking with corals and fish, but i have a 15 starting as well and this whole thing is a lot on the budget.

How is the dragonet? I've heard they only survive in established tanks, so we're waiting awhile as we are at the beginning of our journey lol

It's when the boy gets kinda antsy and can't sit still?

My phone doesn't take it as proper though?

 

[Stang67]

it was hard to hold due to size and floatability

Anyone???

Anyone???

They're still asleep, clearly

I'm blinded by @tbrown 's screen style

Welcome! Dragonet was doing great for a while. Haven't seen him recently, but fear the worst. Life got chaotic and tank fell by the wayside. New additions are on pause for a beat, but I may add a new one or two down the road.

I didn't get the same treatment. Maybe my spell check has given up on me.

Anyone???

I gotta pay closer attention...

 

[Mschmidt]

Gotta get that phos under control, but otherwise everything is truckin

You’re welcome! I used metallic thread on the fins this time. I try to make them all just a little different so no two are exactly alike.

Congrats, bud! Yes. The answer is always, "yes".

Now to justify it, what with the potential move in the future and the broke from just having a kid and all.

Just saw your comment over the too. Gotta get that thing back up.

You can always do a fish bowl reef! Some of those turn out pretty nice.
