ZEOvit/200G Build Journal - 34G Solana

I really like these corner shots so...

This Green Millie is growing extremely fast. Started a 3 months ago as literally a tiny little nub on a piece of rubble. Maybe 1/2" at the time. Its not growing up all that much yet but its branching like crazy and has encrusted a very large area and is killing any Zoas that touch it. Kind of cool.

Just picked this green piece up infront of the stag from OA during the two for one sale. I think it worked out to being $30

This is the area of the tank that I am most excited about to watch grow in. I love this Green Monti and it grows like a weed! You can't tell from the picture but its really starting to branch up nicely. Sorry about all the sand...my Gobies "den" is just under that rock. There tends to be a lot of sand in the water column around there.

Nice Frogspawn from Green Phantom.

This rock or island kind of has the diversity I want to see in the whole tank. Sponges, leather, Zoas, palys, mushrooms, LPS, SPS...

Ends of the tank...

This end will hopefully fill in with more softies as I find ones I like. Im really liking this end so far. And gives you an idea of how wide the tank is....almost 3'

This end is my Tusks territory. Unfortunately my Hippo won't let him leave this area much anymore. The Hippo may have to go if he keeps this up. The tusk is too important to me to see always stressed in a corner. I have noticed he has lost a lot of color lately and feel it must be due to the bullying of the Hippo

You can see so much of my LR is so white still

Much of it was 'cooked' before it went into this tank and has yet to really get 'dirty'. I don't know if its the ZEO or not but coraline is not growing too fast right now.

My Yellow Tang is FINALLY starting to gain some weight. You can see here he is getting there. Still a little skinny for my liking though.

Oh no...what happened?

I will take some pics tomorrow for sure.

I will have to ask the original owner but I am pretty sure he is Zebrasoma desjardinii. He has a lot of spots.

I find it strange that many web sites list the Hippo as being peaceful, yet IMO they are one of the more aggressive tangs. Many reefers have had trouble with their bullying, including myself.
Your tank is looking great.
