Cadlight 70 Gallon Build

haha happen to my stupid clowns too. until one he accidentally ran into it chasing for food and never left since.

its always a hit or miss. shift things around alittle to get them out of their comfort zone and they will start to relocated. maybe to somewhere you wanted to this time :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I don't know what happened. Sometimes they are cornered by the yellow tang just at the mag. They still refused to move in. Started to set up a fish trap now. Possibly will trade em back for another pair

The mags very big so I'm also thinking about gettin one more to try if the new one would dive in so the stubborn pair would follow

 

[MWoodhill]

Hey dude, any tricks to catch a clown fish in a tank without making a mess? Totally gave upon this pair that seems to never host the mag

Returning to my old nemo-nem combo

 

[MWoodhill]

ah, sigh, the undata got 1/2 spots highly skeptically caused by nudi's---****,****,****! called manhattan aquariums to backorder tropic marin pro coral cure. it worked very well for me. i just totally forgot to stock it this time

golden algae now seems to retreat to on rocks. based on my previous tanks, nuisance algae supposedly vanish in 2/3 months so hopefully they'd be gone after new year. I've promised to my reefer boss with a reef tank reception--better be neat by then

here r 2 fts pix--no scrubbing except on the front side. algae gets to rip off

once the alge is gone this tank will look sharp =D. run some good old GFO it will suck out a good amount of it i always have luck with chemi pure elite. but since i switch to rowa i dont think i will look else where

Update? What's your water chg schedule like?

 

[MWoodhill]

Well my ritteri sliced it up in an mp10

I haven't changed water yet. Everything is fine and I have a new ritteri. Last ritteri poisoned all my fish except the onyx

 

[REEFSTA]

you should cut your lights for 3 days gfo and carbon and a 50% water change after

nice tank btw

the algae is gone. I just delibrately keeps some green brush for pods. they are prone to wave


I haven't paid much attention to the tank and there's been ups and downs. I reaquascaped a bit and will restart taking good care of it. My other part of life was very struggling since late Jan--thanks to god not financial part--I was getting on/off with someone and my tank suffered a bit too--possibly that was why my late ritteri chose to end up in an mp10.


I don't know nothing about water parameter now. I'll start routine weekly test. basically I guess ph and alk swings are now the biggest problem.

New Start

I'm updating some pictures so as to kick off my new start


2 fast growers

red planet

forest digitata


some colorful and nice frags. they are healthy so far but grow very slowly


I reaquascaped and the cali tort was growing ok. but i dropped a stone on it--ugh and replaced it so it is still acclimating again

I really have this bad habit of messing around in a tank. the enchinata was growing fast but its base got rtn. I thought it was stung by the aipatasia you can see so I tried to move it. then I accidentally fragged it and failed to kill the aipatasia. Put in 3 berghia nudibranch and 8 peppermint shrimps. the nudi seems to be working but very slowly. they ate up the right part of the tank


ora hawkin's echinata

this was petwarehouse or pet what's last shipment. very cool. its still coloring up. should be mint green with purple polyps

it got no pe at all for like a month but is recovering now. it's gold milli with green polyps. very cool. the vendor named it sun explosive milli

superman milli--encrusting fast

pink lemonade, encrusting fast

ice blue coral with red polyps. it, like the green polyp milli, got no polyps for a long while and is recovering now.

unknown coral but cool

oldie goodie, ora penope birdnest

some with problems:


for my best knowledge, green slimer is a fast grower but it usually takes a while to grow. It's now encrusting so hopefully it will take off sooner

ora purple plasma

ora spondgeta. it got some montipora eating nudibrach. I killed all of them with tm coral dip but now it has become a big attraction for my scarlet hermits. those scars you can see were caused by the nudi's

last but definitely not the least. my new ritteri: very purple very gorgeous. I failed to bring out its green tentacle tips
