Well its about time i share my tank , been running around 4 months now , the tank was in the house cycling before i even had the keys lol
Finally build my own home which gave me the freedom to get the tank i have been thinking about all my life .. it was not without its issues i had a 5ft tank that i sold all my SPS and corals from 6 months prior to the house construction and just kept my fish i wanted to start over with rock and coral and i was living in a mates lounge during both builds so i knew i would have the focus on my corals so moved them onto others in my area
When i was moving the 5ft to the new house i cracked it and my fish had to live in my sump for a few weeks whilst the cycle finished lucky at that time i only had 2 chromis , 1 sailfin and 1 yellow and blue tang.
I had the standard new tank blues with some cyano and brown algaes during the first 8 weeks .. i did a blackout and large water changes and that is under control now.
I did recieve alot of flak on our facebook australia group for the stand people were 50/50 on its hold strength but it hasnt moved in the time its been setup and the builder assures me its safe and i trust them.
I cant wait for everything to grow out and in about 5 months i will look to start on my SPS again

.... yesterday i spot a monti frag that had literally fallen into the worst possible spot , i took apart an entire island to get to it.... and then on the last piece of rock under the island was the PBT ... obviously sick had one eye enlarged like double the size and clear ... not swimming with strength at all ... he was clearly hiding from all the other fish to recover from his injury.
