Appreciate the compliments

I previously moved this war coral out for the torch, but found a spot for it now

the brain has gotten huge, and I think it may be stinging my larger zoa colony, or maybe the RBTA?

new eagle eye morph on left, acan middle, and new fire and ice morph right

New fire and ice on right

New zoa's came last wednesday

Time to start working on the neglected 30c

Feeding time

awsome love both tanks.

 

[brad908]

Thanks.

I have started cleaning the 30c. Took out the rocks and scrubbed them with a tooth brush and vacuumed the top layer of sand.

For stocking, I am thinking:

Left rock: zoa's
Center rock: sps or something large to add height to the tank
Right rock: zoa's

Ricordea bed around the sand and GSP on the back wall.

Ordered a bunch of ricordea's for the 30c

Great looking tanks !

What are you using in your aquaclear intank basket?

Was thinking of setting up an ada tank and drilling it so I could use a sump and skimmer.

Could you go over your maintenance routines e.g. Water changes, filter replacement, dosing etc... For the 60p

Thanks in advance

 

[brad908]

Thanks.

In the inTank basket I have purigen, chemipure elite, and filter floss.

I do a weekly 5 gallon water change and filter floss, and that's it. No dosing, no water tests, etc.

Extremely low maintenance
