i bet your tank looks much better than mine


my tank needs a good cleaning , im thinking on changing out most of the water and doing an extreme clean here one day soon on all equipment, heavy feeding takes it toll on the sump lol all the corals are happy though and growing like crazy as things grow tighter and tighter together im interested in seeing what happens

pineapple sponges are littered all over my tank, same with pink sponges. huge population of pods so much that both the mandy and scooter are bursting at the stomach.

my MI and copperband are insanely use to me now they both eat right from the turkey baster like loonatics and tonight i noticed they will share the same large piece of mysis kinda like a lady and the tramp thing lol they are best buds side by side at all times.....if they eat my coral its gonna be a tough decision lol


its not all gravy though, hydroids are still around but slowly dissappearing as the peps feel more comfortable around the tank, ive noticed some grape caulerpa growing in a hidden area i didnt see, its impossible for me to get at without destroying a whole section of corals so plans are in the works to get that taken care of along with some other macros that keep popping up.


all my glass bed is losing its green and going back to clear but is peppered in coraline.


the tank seems to be loving the leds, my gorgs seem to be sensitive to the color changes though , not so much its regular light schedule in the day but after 12am i have my radion go through a full green cycle for half hour, full red for half hour, full white etc through all the colors.seems the green makes them mad, as soon as the green is gone they are back full polyps , happens like clockwork every night.

i keep forgetting to add my harleys back to the display theyve been in the overflow box quite a while now but are doing great

Why do you cycle all the colors at night?

Just to enjoy the colors, so I do it at night while everyone's shutdown, its purely for my own enjoyment

ok so update time


cleared out a bunch of my corals from the bonsai tree "sanbed" and now have a little breathing room again lol

nitrates have been climbing a bit so i swapped out a few large water changes today, lost my cleaner shrimp in the process but the tank is looking better than ever.

hydroids are dissappearing and im sure the peps are eating them.

copperband has demolished any and all aiptasia


i have a large amount of pink sponges, white sponges and pinepple sponges growing i imagine its from the mass amounts of phyto ive been feeing lol sps are still in great shape and growing fast.

in my sump i took a good look last night after leaving the lights out back there off for a few days and i have i bet a few thousand mysid shrimp swimming around and brewing , im going to syphon some out and add thm to the display.....funny my phosphate reactor is full of mysid as well lol


also the other night i got my moorish idol to take pellets and he now loves them, im using the fauna marin soft shrimp pellets and he goes nuts for them .

hummm im thhhhhaaaaaaaaaaatttt close to gettig my copperband butterfly to eat from my fingers he pokes at my fingers but wont take the actual shrimp lol as soon as i drop it he gobbles it down.

these two fish i thought were gonna be very bad choices but have turned out to be the opposite and easier than some of the other livestock i have.

Sometimes, you just to have to do what you want to do instead of listening to all the controversial theories out there, for example "morish idol? best of luck keeping that one!"

I really want to come and give a knock at your door to see the fishes but time is not permitting me

[gridley]

Wow! I love the clarity on your photos - great job there - it looks fantastic.

[JmeJReefer]

Makes me wanna buy a camera i cant afford, a tank i can't afford, and coral i clearly have no money for!!!! Wicked work bro...sigh, one day
