Lucas's 20g nano

I also bought a purple birds nest from LFS store yesterday. This is my first piece of sps, any tips or suggestions?

Birdsnest is very hardy and it grows super fast, you shouldn't need to do much but keep your parameters on check as you are already doing. I always loved Birdsnest I think that might be my next purchase.

I actually have a tidal gardens 10 minutes from my house. I guess this a widely known company for corals. The store owner had a bunch of different colors of birdsnest. I wouldn't mind having another one with a different color.

It has been awhile since I have posted. Life has caught up with me and has been a little busy. Tank is going well. I never want to say it is going amazing because I don't want jinx myself haha. I just got my Tunze nano ato and my custom caddy baskets delivered today. I am super excited about the tunze nano ato.
 
I am going to LFS on Saturday because they are having a middle of the year sale that is nuts. Here is a shopping list:
GFO
Purigen
some type of sponge for caddy basket
Tank scraper
Sand sifting star fish
corals
 
LFS pickup

I went to the LFS today because they were having an amazing sale.
I got...
Purigen and chemipure
filter floss and media bags
red sea Ca/Alk/Mg test kit and scraper
Toxic green candy cane and orange monipora
lastly a sand sifting starfish.
 
You might want to consider two Kessil 160's on the Nuvo 20. I would go with one 360w instead of the 160's. It's a nice light and you will have that shimmer that is super nice.
 
I've got a 160 over........

.......my 22 bow and at least short term it seems to be enough light. Two of my birdsnests are doing really well (neon green and purple). The third (pink/yellow) is hanging in there but not showing growth. I think I may have found a place for it now. The neon green and purple are both top shelf, just off center from the light. The pink/yellow didn't seem to like being that close to the light. I'm running it at about 60% intensity and the same color. I, too, really like birdsnests!

Tank shot looked great!
 
Came home to my peppermint shrimp destroying my sand sifting starfish. I was really angry. It only has two of its five arms now. I have been monitoring it closely I fear it might be dead. will keep updated.
 
On a good note! I did go to the LFS today and I got an Australian blue hammer and a pink tipped frogspawn. I will post pictures tomorrow when they are open!
 
Won't be too active this week, I am on vacation until the weekend! Kind of hard to be gone from my tank this long haha. Update I got the AI prime set up and it looks great, sadly the starfish did not make it.
 
Wow. Rest in peace. Didnt expect that to begin with. Well regardless, the tank looks great.

Thanks! Yeah it kind of sucks it died so quickly because it was doing work on my diatoms like big time. But at the same time I heard they eat a lot of the good stuff in your sand bed. So maybe I needed to take it out anyway. I just wished I could given it back to LFS rather than having it get chomped to death.
