So guys been a while,tank coming up nicely,and after a year i am noticing the tank is maturing quite a lot,fish doing nicely and happy,quarantining right now a Flame Angel and a Blue Tang,unforyunately lost my Orange Back Angel,jumped out of the tank on my upper part of the aquascaping,she dried out,had this strange behaviour of going down to the sand than fireing to the top,finally the day came where it landed on the rockwork just outside the waterline,well we all lose some fish every now and then at least i know it not my mistake but was sad of losing this active fish,added some more pieces of soft coral,button Polps,and tube worms,the hot weather started to show so the chiller is starting to switch on also,gonna post some pics of the tank and coral growth,hope you enjoy guys till next time
So guys just a small video update i took a couple of days ago,tank going up nicely altough have to admit as to keep the Sps i have done a couple of mistakes whch costed me some Bleaching,well you learn from the mistakes,now i am taking a break from stocking the tank as Summer times are approching and would like to avoid heat problems with nwly imported stock so will continue buying neext september/october,as else all is good and having good growth,tank still changing by days going by as for parameters these are as follows

Hi Guys just a small update,tank doing good so far,parameters all well,summer days are on chiller kicking in every other hour,introduced the Flame angel and the Blur Tang,so far so good no fights or strange behaviours,fish feeding like pigs,had a small problem with ALk due to a skipped waterchange,lost some Sps frags,but well as for my first experience and growth am quite happy,as i know some basics now with Sps and what irritates them most,will stop stocking for the summer months and continue by next september,coralline Algae growing nicely on the aquascaping making the Tank more realistic at least my idea of No visible equipment has worked out Installed an extra Led bulb to the sump,will try to add some more live rock and a frag Rack for my future ideas,posting some pics and a video of the Tank before being fed Hope you enjoy and leave comments,Thanks Reefers!!!!!!!
