First Saltwater Tank

[benzzz]

Tank looks really good so far !!

[MarkoD]

got a reef octopus lx1000 and set it up yesterday....

and put the cheato in the middle media chamber (it now gets light directly from my t5 lights





now its time to build a hood to hide all of this

[MarkoD]

after watching him for a few days in quarantine he looked good and was eating well.... felt bad keeping him in a 15 gallon

so i finally transfered him into the larger tank. and here he is happily swimming around and exploring

another little update:

got another duel T5HO light fixture (both 10000k)

so now running a total of 4 bulbs.



all fish are doing great. foxface is also doing great. also got a peppermint shrimp and a couple turbo snails.

the green rock on the top left side was one i bought that had 3 GBTA on it. they have since left that rock, now just waiting for my lawnmower blenny to eat up that hair algae.

also on that rock were a few xeneas and a couple brittle starfish

Nice Foxface, tank is coming along nicely.
Don't hold yor breath waiting for the lawnmower to eat the hair algae, mine hardly eats any algae. I had a bad hair algae problem for a while and I tryed everything, less light, new bulbs, less food and manual removal. Mexican turbo snails did the trick for me, bought them from Blue World.

the blenny already mowed down the whole tank once before.... all the rock was covered.... now he seems more interested with the algae growing on the glass.

but the foxface has started picking at the algae on that one rock.
