NanoGurl's 75g Reef Thread

[Pirate@40]

Hi Nano,
Starting up a 90g of my own. Thinking about fuge options. Considering mangroves, ogo, spaghetti, or possible crypto.
I think the crypto would be an additional fuge if I did it. Any thoughts from anyone?

what did you decide on for fish for this tank?

Tuesday Update!

Hi everyone, sorry it's been a few days before responding. Needed a break the tank has been a bit frustrating lately. Anyway, thanks for all of the help and ideas!

I ordered my new halide reef optix fixtures.. they should be here on friday. I also will be ordering the auto top off system when it comes back in stock.

Found two of these guys when rearranging some rock. I don't know what they are, but they look like tiny serpent stars. I didn't have the heart to flush them, so I put them in my sump. Anyone know what they are?

Right now I have a pair of Ora Black clowns, my zebra eel, and a scopas tang that won't eat and hides all day

Great lookin.....tank BTW

Brittle Stars alright. I've heard nothing bad about them.

I love the little critters, but my 6 line keeps the herd pretty thinned out in my display.

Awww.. poor stars!

Let those starfish thrive. They are an excellent part of the clean up crew. No worries.

Definitely little brittle stars. The are great scavengers. I wish I had more of them.

Hey there NanoGurl, nice new thread.

I had a bunch of the little micro brittle stars, they are good at cleanup.

Hey RJ Thanks!

How's your eel doing? My zebra is doing great!

 

[sixspeed]

nanogurl your zebra doesnt bother any small fish or crustaceans??

 

[NanoGurl]

Nope. I target feed him with tongs every 3 to 4 days frozen shrimp, clams & scallops and he's very content with that. He's a great tankmate.

Hey DR,

Here is a photo of the brain for you. Sorry it took so long. It's been really stressed out due to higher nitrates and my clowns trying to host it. I had to move stuff around, but I think I found a place where it's happy again.

 

[drummereef]

Thanks NG! That brain is freakin' awesome. How's things going?

 

[NanoGurl]

Thanks Going okay I guess. My new lights should arrive on Friday so were going to mount them and see how they work out. Still need to resolve the pump issue and a few other things.

How's your tank doing? Did you move yet? Hurry up lol!

 

[NanoGurl]

I thought this was a really cool photo. My sun corals are slowly becoming my favorite corals that I have.

Baby frag so cute
