Well I made it 8 and a half weeks with NO FISHIES!!!!!
I think I earned myself a clownfish don't you?
I also axed that coral tree skeleton (the one covered in cyano) the cyano was gross making the zoas p'od and the aptasia liked it. so I scrapped it.

I moved my tank to our new house with zero issues it now has a prominent place in my kitchen and not in a yucky basement suite.
This is my new friend "Nemo" I wanted to call him Fezzik but my brother in law came over and was like OH LOOK OH OH OH ITS A NEMO HI LITTLE NEMO!!!! OH YOU ARE A CUTE NEMO!!!! FOR THREE FRACKING DAYS. I've never seen a trades person Harley nerd gush like a little girl before.

While the beast was disassembled I took the time to reshape my rockwork and add an extra "cave"
I also pulled the xenia as 5lbs of rock covered in it gets crazy FAST!

So it's been just over a month with the clownfish!!!
I rehomed the coral banded as he was eating my peppermints. He is doing just fine in Steve's eel tank!
I added a hectors goby,cleaner shrimp and a very small occ. As well as a few more frags!

Glad to be finding some success. Is it normal to want to redo my rock work AGAIN! I want more of this kind of look but I think the livestock would be mad at me.

how do you guys stack your rockwork so tall! I don't suppose any of you guys wanna come help LOL.

Also Rustydog gave me this I think it's pretty. I love candycanes.

Steve has a stunning scoly coral that looks like a nuclear cupcake and I want it soooo bad. But I've spent enough cash at his store this week.
moving up in the tank world! Next tank a red sea max S line! (hey a girl can dream right????)

how did u put the GSP on the back of ur tank ?

Your tank looks very good, you should be proud of it and in time it will only mature with more grow.

Thanks!
I took two small pieces of gsp and did my waterchange.
When the top of the tank was empty I put a drop of superglue on each piece. I put one in a high flow area (it took off) and one in a low flow area. (it survives but hasn't grown.) I'd love to have my whole back wall covered but I don't have enough flow. I'm using the Koralia nano power heads.

So I'm now entertaining the idea of an 80 gallon tank...hahhaa (matter of time)
now to find a contractor out here to see if my floor can deal with 1000lbs of fish tank.

It wouldn't be set up for another 6 months or so as there is too much going on and I love my biocube but I think it's time to start hunting for glass. I'm looking at either the 80gallon fluval osaka or the 60 gallon solana. If I have to go new it will be the solana otherwise I don't buy that stuff retail EVER.
a couple bucks a gallon is all I like to pay for a non specialty fish tank.

Well, I just finished hauling in a 75g tank which I picked up on canreef for my upgrade from 34g tank. The 34 is actually a really nice size, however the 75 is kinda the sweet spot for me.

Now I'm curious if my floor can handle that much water...
Does anyone know how to determine how much weight the floor can handle?

the heat wave nuked most if not all of the coral in my tank yesterday
looks like I lost 80 percent coral 2 snails and my new cleaner shrimp.

If it's as rough as it seems I take the tank down. If some of the coral comes back (the leathers are ALL toast) I'll keep it running.

my tank spiked to 90 degrees over a 12 hour time frame. I ran a fan over the top and ice in the sump to try and bring it back but the damage looks like it's been done. I'm not sure if I should start over if I can afford the investment again. Plus the upgrades,or If I should flip a coin and part the tank out.
