Corals
 

I need to rearrange to make the spaces first off... but I do want a couple of wicked SPS pieces.

I am not a huge SPS person but would like some to add to the mixed reef feel.

Nice looking scape Pat! Can't wait to see it in person.

Looks great Patrick!

Looks awesome! Nice looking lights :) Such a clean tank will be nice when it takes off.

Current test results
 

Tests are still good.... KH is low but I have not dosed anything at all since set up September long weekend.


SG - 1.028 ( new salt mixed lower to 1.021 to help drop down. I like 1.024)
Temp - 78F

NH3 - 0
NO3 - 0
NO2 - 0
Ca - 540
Kh - 90

I did a 10% water change and will retest kh and then begin to dose with Seachem Reef Builder.


All said and done.... LOOKS GREAT!!!!

I have been adding corals and hope to get the time soon to add some more pics.

NEW FISH DAY
 

Today I added a new wrasse to my system.

A Fairy Wrasse.... a Whipfin Fairy Wrasse based on my research.

So far my six-line likes to exert its dominance by swimming circles around it but so far not actual attacks.

Hopefully they get along. Size is comparable but colour is not even close. It is bright red with yellow fins. Very attractive fish and I hope it does well.

So far... after the acclimation... it has been swimming around a small area of the tank. No hiding or huddling in the corners. This appears to be a good sign as it was exhibiting the same behaviour in the store.

I will try get some nice pics up this weekend.
