Week 7-10 was more learning. First time drip acclimating a fish! Understanding consumption, local LFS mixed feedback and getting rid of diatoms. Hermits are not friends- one is enough. More than one is a bad idea! Shrimp are not to be feared if you acclimate properly and when you add pods make sure skimmers and wavemakers are off! 10 weeks in, 1 fish and a few corals. Definitely learning a lot!
So couple weeks ago I had to move my trumpet coral bc my RFA smothered it. It’s finally showing signs of coming back 🙌
My favia coral however, went from vibrant and thriving to suddenly turning brown. I had a lot go on in that time… new wave maker that I was fine tuning placement, treating Cyo-Control for a relentless Cyano outbreak… any ideas why it might have suddenly lost its color?
A compact and affordable wavemaker your tanks needs to achieve great flow!
We’ve been using the Jebao SLW-10 in our 15g tank, and the flow has been great. You can tune the flow to your specific needs with its built-in controller.
Tank Size Recommendations
SLW-3: 1–10g
SLW-5: 5–15g
SLW-10: 15–30g
SLW-20: 30–50g
SLW-30: 50–90g

Anyone try out the AF4 from indaquatics? With Apex?
Curious if anyone can tell me thier experience with this product. I also have lots of questions about the config if using Neptune Apex w 0-10v cable. Can you shut off pumps, skimmer? How far (up to tank) can this pump? Have to be return pump?
Fighting another bout of Cyano, not as bad as the first one few weeks ago but still frustrated it came back. This round I’m adding a protein skimmer this week and also starting to question upgrading my wavemaker. I seem to be getting some dead spots despite changing the wavemaker positions so not sure if I need something stronger? I have a 1500gph Hygger DC, and considering upgrading to an AI Nero 3, which is what I initially wanted but hesitated bc of price. Any thoughts?
Any tips to relocate a Rock flower anenome? He’s been slowly smothering my zoas… today is totally taking them over. I have the wavemaker blasting on him to make him move. Might also tey prying the Zoa frag off and moving away

weekly update. new wavemaker arriving later today. happy corals right now. #beforecleaning
Just did a water change and added a huger mini wave maker trying to figure out flow
My current plan is
attempt to save my current corals
get new gear for the tank (wave maker etc etc)
get more clean up crew
then during march, for my birthday i hopefully plan to buy a yasha goby and tiger pistol shrimp and two Ocellaris clownfish
as well as maybe buying a replacement pulsing xenia as the one i bought impulsively has already died unfortunately
