DKoKoMan's 150g Reef Tank

All my SPS and LPS appear fine with these values so I'm not sure. I will have my reactor running Vertex bio pellets shortly. I will test all the parameters to see where I am sitting.

Couple pictures taken from today.

Not sure what all these little white swirls are on the glass. You can really see them at night. If you look at the second photo they are visible. Any idea what these are?

Halloween hermit found a bigger shell.

New Blastomussa frag and another photo of the photobombing star fish.

So when I first added the new clownfish to the tank I was worried that my large female would not accept him. She instantly took a liking to him and all has been well as the anemone hosts both of them. Today I went downstairs when I got home from work I noticed what appeared to be eggs. I did a quick google search and confirmed that these are eggs.

Sweet dude! Clowns are breeding. Tank is doing well.

That's cool. I had hermit craps and cardinals breeding for me, but never clownfish. Your tank is doing well.

Thanks guys! It's definitely neat to watch the process and know that the tank is starting to get established. Hoping to see some more growth on the frags. Going to be buying the AF Reef Salt as I am down to half a bucket of IO Reef Crystals.

The plan is to do 3 x 5g pails of RC and 3 x 5g AQ for my biweekly water changes. Hopefully this will allow for a decent transition to the AF salt.

I want to make the change to get closer to the NSW parameters and have the control via 3 part.
