Well here we have it,
My 7 month old first reef tank.
Quite the humbling experience coming from aquascaping and going through many freshwater fish tanks for years!
I started getting over the learning curve about 4 months in, having euphyllia receding constantly (currently cracking down on my water changes and weekly tank care) it was my humbling point.
My fish stocking list:
Starry blenny
Midas blenny (yes they get along they are like brothers)
1 chalk bass
My fire shrimp
Peppermint shrimp
Yellow sea cucumber
4~ hermits mixed species
Mexican turbos
Ninja star snails
Added yesterday: tube anemone, yasha goby (his pistol died in shipping )
As for Coral, as you can see my GSP took off unsurprisingly, kenya tree has quadrupled and is looking nice and tree-y, toadstool has done well, and my acan I added a couple months ago has done fairly well for itself, I even have a healthy rainbow chalice slowly growing. I also have a ricordea growing on the right.
However my euphyllia are not doing as well, over the first couple months they slowly receded, and their flesh band is now alarmingly small, however recently I have made more strict changes on my tank routine to try to get them to recover. They have seemingly stopping dying and are now resting on the frag rack on the left.
