Past the cycle and in about 2 months in.
Went through a couple different ideas for a tank build until I came across this beauty!! I was sold.
SO, it begins. I have a homemade stand and run the sump from the room behind the tank. (VERY ADVISABLE) this makes water changes and maintenance a breeze!!
So far I have added (and in this order), Various Snails (Trochus, Narcissus), 2x White Legged Hermits, 2x Clowns, 1x Cleaner Shrimp, 1x Watchman Goby w/ Pistol Shrimp, Lawnmower Blenny, 2x Peppermint Shrimp.
Coral: Duncan, Dendro, Ricordea Yuma, Green Mushroom, Various Zoas, Frogspawn, Purple Hammer, Tonga Torch, Pocillopora, Dragon Soul Favia, Garf Bonsai (Broken tip, free add and just to see what happens).
I am currently running Carbon and Phosban in TLF reactors. The only issue I have really had is keeping phosphates down, however, have dialed back the feeding and seem to be coming down and in control. I have been feeding Reef-Roids, and various frozen foods.
Next steps are to add some more Favia (couple different colours) and a Challice or two.
Fish List: (Not set in stone, suggestions VERY welcome)
Next...
Firefish
Foxface
6 Line
Flame Angel
Flame Hawkfish
____ ? (suggestions)
____ ? (suggestions)
Yellow Tang
Mandarin (well after established and copepods are plentiful)
