What did you do to your tank today?

[Fishingandreefing]

Added my first two coral and already forgot the name of them cause I was so excited

Used to have them. I believe they’re call devils hand too. It’s a leather coral

I used to be like “wow” too till this year. I used to love them. At one point, I had about 5 in my 55. Now I only got one in my 120 and it’s too many. The fire shrimp is the opposite, he’s been a model citizen so far.

I have two of the fire shrimps too. They never mess with anything : )

All I did today was clean the glass and replace my Purigen packets

Clean filter socks, relocate some bio media, added some bacteria and fed the homies. I also spent a rather long amount of time looking for Paul with my daughter (he is our new watchman goby). I’ve given up ever seeing the tiger shrimp again but I do see him violently flinging sand from under a rock cave every once and awhile.

Nothing exciting for me, fed the tank and topped off the ATO and Kalkwasser reservoirs!

That’s funny! I have 2 tube anemones in my tank... they both relocated themselves under my scape. I can kinnnnnaaaaaa. See them... smh... a shame too, they have really grown well. I keeping hoping they’ll pop up thru a rock someday. Lol

Wow my tank looks nice tonight! Water change days normally create a lot of cloudiness... mine has settled down now. My water is crystal clear! : ) (very happy)

Today I took readings to see how the cycling is going. Then I stared at it for a while trying to figure out what is my end game for coral layout based on what they might grow out as. Then I setup my Ink Bird. Not much to do when waiting for the cycling to do it's thing I suppose.

Getting thru the cycle is a bit of a pain. You’ll make it : ) I’m waiting on the M word now. Waiting to “M”ature so I can take the next steps in my plan.

Water change/clean the socks and skimmer, added small cleanup crew and captured a hitchhiker (fireworm...gross). On the topic of hitchhikers I found one of my hermits cut in half and out of its shell....very curious

did a water change, changed filter sock, changed carbon, drilled new higher drain hole in skimmer so there are no accidents. Also cut and stained the wood for my light holder/cat perch for my new tank

Well it took me about an hour to get it all cleaned up and figure out the cause and fix that. I need to buy an auto skimmer shut off device for sure.
