Tank pics (from the beginning)
I've got a Koralis 1 on the way, and the hob filter moves 200gph. That will give me 600+gph so over 30x tank volume. I'm doing a 10% water change weekly. (All 2 gallons of it.)
Looking to add quite a bit more LR, as I don't have a sump. I want to get rid of a lot of the trees and start on some easier sps and maybe a candy cane. I would really like to do something like a hammer or frog in the corner, but we'll see. Plus I know it is the animal's decision and not mine. I have a patch of cheato in the back next to the heater thanks to Kevin.
Also thinking about turning the tank out from the wall and putting the small side into the corner. This would make a decent 3-side view. I just need to try and fit the filter in between the light and tank. This would but all my equipment on the back wall.
Current stock: Yellow clown and green clown gobies (1" ea. maybe), firefish (2"), seaweed blenny (1"), and cleaner shrimp. Cleaning crew: one big red-legged hermit, urchin, sand sifting star (raffle prize) some tiny snails here and there.
I would like to add a black & white clown, black cap gramma, and bangii cardinal, but I know I am pushing bioload limits already. Water is still good but I'm going to wait on them a while. Just looking for an active critter that still serves a purpose. Since everything is small, they hide most of the time.
Also looking for suggestions on the cyano and whatever else is on the back of the tank. It isn't getting any bigger, but isn't getting smaller either. Of course, if I turn the tank, I'll be scraping it all off anyway. Lastly, I think some aptaisia is developing. Any suggestions there? Pick up a peppermint for a little while?
The multi-colored zoas and firefish are from CRS, everything else is from YR.
