Kryptic4L's 100 Gallon Build.

[Kryptic4L]

Just wanted to post some updates, as its been awhile, Since I posted last.

I lost pretty much every fish in my tank, 2 clowns-3 anthias, a blenny, a powder blue, a mandarin a cleaner shrimp over the coarse of a weekend a few months back. so the tank had been sitting with just the ruby head wrasse the canary wrasse and the leopard wrasse.

Im not sure if it was all the base rock decided to cycle, or if it was ich that irradicated the tank, as I cant remeber if the cleaner shrimp dissapeared that same weekend. Regardless. New purchases came to a stand still.


I had been fighting with my skimmer off and on for sometime, everytime the cup got half full it just randomly overflowed within a night. and finally have now gone a month or so without this happening. However the skimmate production isnt half of what it was, im not sure if this is a result of a lowered amount of crap in the tank. Eventually I may look into getting another skimmer but for now its doing the trick.


Finally got into clearing a bucketful of caulerpa racemosa from my tank, This will be my on going battle of this tank I guess. Picked up a few emeralds recently in hopes they may help with this. Regadrless they will help with the crew.


Picked up two new clowns and a sailfin, both seem to be doing excellent in the tank so far. and always happy for feeding time.

The best thing I have done with this tank was my water change system, I have never been this ontop of my changes, best money spent by a longshot. No more buckets - less spills - 10 minutes start to finish for a 30 gallon water change. LOVE IT...

Quick update today.

Got a new toy. My ro system is in the basement. So I had to walk downstairs to turn on the pump to fill up my ro bucket. Or just leave the pump on and hope nothing ever happens to my gangster plumbing job.

Problem solved now I can just turn the pump on and off from anywhere with Internet theoretically I can fill up my ro while on vacation as well now.



Also grabbed a radiant wrasse a couple weeks ago, he's a pretty rad fish

Messed with my lights today as well lowered there output.

Found that my sailfin is missing , which might explain why my skimmer acted up yesterday and today. And might be why one of my anemones is hiding closed up. No body has been found.

Wondering if tangs are for me .....
