The Sleeping Giant 75 gallon build

[Sleeping Giant]

My nem looked like it was going to die earlier, figured it might be flow, changed some powerhead directions. Then I read that it might just be hungry..spot fed and ta-da it looks great. Thank god, lol

Received my 2 peppermint shrimp, and they hid immediately lol, got a bonus mushroom frag, not sure what it is, lol

Some updates on my 75 gallon
I've added 2 peppermint shrimp, hopefully they get a hunger for apstatia lol. And a mushroom.
Cyano is back, so I'm doing another treatment, and waiting for salt delivery on Tuesday.
Otherwise the aquarium is doing good.

Well trying again to battle cyano, treated with Red Cyano Rx, 2nd time in 2 months.
Got a boat load of apstatia, bought 2 peppermint shrimp and 2 bergula nudibranch, I noticed today that about 3-4 heads are gone from an area that the shrimp were hanging out in. Hopefully they do their jobs :)

I did the cyano rx for 4 days, box says 3, but the last time it didn't get lots of the cyano. Turned off skimmer and removed carbon.
Today was day 4, I changed out 15 gallons of water and put carbon back into canister. Turned on the skimmer, adjusted the flow and put an overflow container with airline tubing running to the skimmer to remove any of the crazy skimmate that usually happens.

Sooo, 2 nights ago looking in my tank, I see these little buggers.. Berghia nudibranch, thought they were dead. I bought 2, but saw 3 of complete different sizes, and eating aipstatia, yay... they're alive, breeding and eating.

I'm using selcon and garlic with my feed mix, the HLLE is from quarantine for 2 months prior to bring allowed into the DT, it's only been in the DT for just over a month, it has healed significantly, and I expect some skaring to stay.

My new additions getting along nicely.
Saw my Berghia Nudibranch going after some big apstatia last night

 

[Sleeping Giant]

Just wanted to give an update
Clowns are doing good, one looks a bit sick, but feeding vitamins and selcon, hopefully it starts getting better.
The sicker one hangs out in the toadstool and the other one likes it by the heater and anemone.
I'm still battling cyanobacteria, it's persistent but so am I.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

Found a baby nudibranch, proof of breeding...yay and right beside a bunch of aipstatia
