For lighting I had to build a little hanging hood. I already have an ai prime, but I also wanted some t5 love on the tank. I think it turned out pretty good.

After waiting about 2 1/2 months I transferred my 3 year old clown over, and I bought a pixy hawkfish from the LfS. He’s so cool! I also added a gyre 2k and my ai prime to the center of the fixture.

Ive never updated this. But here I am. It’s gone thru a lot. A couple crashes, a move and we’re still standing. Don’t ever give up, if it’s something you enjoy. I plan on adding more corals to the mix. It’s a very simple setup now. Skimmer/fuge/floss/ t5/led lighting. Dosing AFR/redseaAB.

This is pretty neat, I’ve had different variations of the same color, but never had a coral start developing a new color. One of my acans is starting to add some orange to the mix. Also found a aquamaxx hob skimmer for $100. I’ve been running an fc 80 and I think it was just a little much for the size of my tank. I like having extra space in the sump for a refugium.

2 new Frags. It’s been a while. Excited to watch them grow or fizzle away. We will see.

got the two new frags mounted. They’re doing great. Noticing new growth on the slimmer. My Mp10 bit the dust last week, so I added a second gyre, which has been amazing! 6ML of AFR daily. I feed twice/day. Pellets and flakes in the AM. Frozen mysis/ reef roids/15ml of reef energy in the evening.
