Taylor's Tech 120 build

[tmantaylor18]

Been a while guys I havent been around here much but the tank has been coasting right along. Life got in the way again and I decided I was tired of chasing numbers when it comes to nutrients. I've been running my skimmer a few times a week and feeding about the same.

I can tell the nutrients are up because of the nice coral colors and the explosion of aptasia! I tried a filefish that didnt last long and peppermint shrimp were devoured by my flame hawk. I think its time that I caught him though. Im also going to try some of those nudibranch soon.

Nice looking tank man. What skimmer are you running

 

[Fredfish]

Yup, nice tank.

What happened to the filefish? I thought they were pretty easy to keep.

Yup, nice tank.

not sure what happened to it. Was in there for a few days not eating and then died.

- nice!
Corals are enjoying your benign neglect.
They look awesome!

Got everything up and running. I still have a lot of work to do but thought I'd share where Im at.

Love the pipe to the wall. I may steal that idea since I have a drop ceiling.

How did you connect the wire to the pipe to hang it?

thanks man! finally replaced an old return pump I was using to mix and pump new saltwater so I will start back soon.

I drilled a small hole in the end and routed the wire through it. I then just added one of those little pinch anchor things on the end of the wire to stop it from coming out.

added some berghias the other day to help take care of the aptasia. Going to use aptasia X to help out.
