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!
Talk about a heartbreak…. It’s been a couple months since I’ve made a post so hello again everyone! My and my wife bought a house and during the move we had to move 5, 90 gallon reef tanks. This is the before and after of my prize tank. I lost 90% of my corals. The first couple months after I almost gave up walked away this is all I have left. Thanks to a few people in the community we are SLOWLY coming back to life. When it gets tough do not give up!
Currently cycling this new tank set up. I started it with 7 lbs live rock from LFS, any help to ID this little creature would be greatly appreciated! Friend or foe?
Guys I need some help on where I should put my corals I’m not the best at placement and I need to make sure these places will be comfortable for my corals . Current setup and I think it’s suitable LMk (I know bubble coral is stressed and deflated I’m currently working on to help it inflate)
Getting an anemone tomorrow from a friend looking at where a good starting placement would be. Obviously I know they move just talking about where to initially place it. Any recommendations?
I have a issue with my BTA seen at the end of the video. All my other corals are doing fantastic and really pushing out polyps. But the anemone has not wanted to get larger than it currently is. It moved there when I put it in the tank almost a month ago. Any tips or ideas what the problem could be?
Quick AI Prime 16 question for a new reef tank.
No corals yet — just copepods and clean-up crew.
I’m trying to keep the light low to avoid algae, but still make the tank look good.
Thinking:
RB 25 / B 25 / W 5
Everything else 0
5–6 hours/day
Light about 9–11” above the water
Is this a good starting point, or would you run it differently?

Setup rating?
How much would u guys give in a total of 10?
(That one coral on the highest is birdnest sps coral)
(Btw, any suggestion to improve my tank based on the parameters and equipment I updated today?)
Can someone tell me what is this?
This tank only holds warty frogfish, and im sure that's not it's waste since i already siphoned it out 2-3 days ago and will be feeding her tomorrow.
Also, I run this tank with a canister
Any suggestion to improve my setup based on my coral?
