My Project ★ GENESIS ★ 110G (Miracle) SPS Dream Tank - (II) Build Thread

Two sunburst might fight, but 3-5 might get along. Just make sure one of them is clearly bigger than the others. So long as there's a brute, most hierarchies work out okay. The big guy doesn't have to prove anything and the little guys aren't too interesting in fighting for second.

I should change my major to fish psychology

Thanks.

I should be happy I have one Sunburst. He is Memorizing (Nicest Fish in my Tank right now.....Hoping Black Cap Shows up).
 
All Fish are Getting Along (Glad I never put in the Super large Angel...He is now in Kitchen Tank...I wonder if He will Get ICH since that Tank is suspect)

The Black Capped Basslet is in seclusion. Same happened in QT. He will come out.

I must admit the Rock Scape is Fantastic for Fish (hiding places, and places to sleep). ALSO PLENTY of room for SPS Frag Mounts (All sides of rocks)

HAVE ROOM for more Small/Medium Fish ((** Another Red Head Wrasse May be available).
 
Black caps are known hiders. I had one a couple years ago, never saw it except at feeding time. I knew it died, because it didn't come out to eat for a week. Never found the body.
 
My Dream Fish Found (A Shoal of Carnerryi Anthias) Healthy and Eatting

So I went to a LFS to pick up another Solaris Wrasse, but conditions were not great.

Nor far was a better store, and they had just what I want for my tank.

https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/1553/?pcatid=1553

They had a Special for a Group of 5 Carberryi Anthias.

I asked that she feed the tank, and the whole group of 12 were eating like a frenzy. (unlike the Pair of Saddle Back Anthias I lost few weeks ago)

So I got 5, since price was great.

They are in QT right now, so hope things go well

We I hope he comes out (For now at feeding time). To ensure he is alive.

But in QT he was with Copperband, Sunburst Anthias, and Wrasse and did come out every so often.
 
Tank Photo (Armchair Desk View) Tricky Getting Photo with T5 (Coral Plus, Blue Plus Bulbs)

I find that T5 Bulbs especially Blue Plus are Tricky for Photo's.

I need to bring back my RGB White LED Strip.

This Photo is a bit Better with a few Fish to Show Coloration. Bit better too to show the Caves and Nooks and Cranies (with Rock Scape)

Certainly the Tank need some Corals to Color up. Those new Anthias will also help.

But I haven't looked at the Tank for Months. Not even after it was setup 2 months ago.
NOW I stare at it continuously.
 
Hey Wally! Looking fantastic. The whole basement looks amazing. Such a great job!
Love the Vader nook and the closet.
Tank looks perfect and love your group of anthias.
Looking like it’s time for frags! ;)

Thanks Matt.
I know where to get some Really Nice Frags (Wink, Wink!!)

Thank Tenurepro. Glad you came over, since like you say, pictures don't capture the Successful Layout. (I tried all kind of angles and can't get a good photo....Especially with new T5 Lighting).

You said you would come over with your Super Camera Gear and get a movie....I'll take you up on your offer, and my OLD corals will be here by weekend.

For now I shot this Video with my SLR, which shows the Rock Layout a bit Better.

FOUND BLACK CAPPED BASSLET (Alive - moving - Hidden under Rocks)

I got worried about the Black Cap, so got out my Flashing.

Almost gave up, and then noticed a bit a moving BLUE/Purple Tail.

Whew!! He is ok. He'll come out Eventually. I'm sure he managed to grab a bite.
 
STARTED a new TANK BUILD THREAD (But Will CONTINUE POSTING Details Here)

So I started a new Tank Build Thread. (Timing is Idea...Since TODAY is The TRUE BEGINING on the GENESIS Goal Journey).

https://www(dot)reef(two)reef(dot).com/threads/110-gallon-in-wall-office-dream-sps-reef-tank-project-genesis-total-automation-plus.395704/

Just COPY LINE ABOVE and replace the RED Words with the Appropriate Characters for the URL link

I'll continue here since Reef Central has been my home for years, and the people great.

HOWEVER the main reason (for Thread Build Trial) is the Other Site has a BETTER EDITOR (Makes it easier to use YouTube Videos instead of Double Posting Photos).

We'll see how things go.
 
Fridge Busted (Shelving Re-used) before Tomorrow's Garbage PICKUP

So our Kitchen Fridge Broke couple of week ago. Been Living out a Mini-Fridge as we shopped for Replacement. (I've fixed it before, but when it come to Compressors, I can't)

I was going to keep the Good Quality Food Grade Shelve for bins, but then I got an IDEA. **TAKE THE PANEL with SHELVES **

WaterPROOF Shelving isn't cheap, and mounting is even more difficult.

40519953690_8a676b7dfb_b.jpg


I wouldn't do this in a Rec Room, but my Junky Fish Room just got better :) [Not properly Mounted on Wall, but you get the IDEA)
 
WOAH!!! (3 Anthias Died....Just like Instantly)

This blows me away. Just before Baseball Practice, all 5 were swimming.

They were eating constantly since I got them yesterday.

I get back from Baseball 3 hours later and only 2 swimming, 3 lying on the bottom of QT.

40528530880_8cf79e71dc.jpg


They did come from 1.014 Salinity System, so I did acclimatize a bit more longer (not baggie method) but a Small Container that I kept topping up (over about 1 hour).

Last night I read they need to be VERY SLOWLY acclimatized. 4 Hours.

If the two make it till tomorrow, I'll get 3 more since I really want a group of these (and eating Anthias an not easy to come by).
 
I posted an Update on my other Thread. Had a Good Day, and a Terrible Day (my Tomini Tang Died).

https:// www(dot)reef(two)reef(dot)com/threads/%E2%98%85-110-gallon-in-wall-office-dream-sps-reef-tank-%E2%98%85-project-genesis-total-automation-plus-%E2%98%85.395704/page-2#post-4766363

I'm not sure which Thread I will continue, but I'll be hopping back and forth till I figure out where things work better for me.
