Also, does anyone know where I can get a tiny lavender tang and tiny flame fin tomini? These two are always out of stock everywhere I look.

Have you checked your local store?

Have you checked your local store?

Yes, my lfs is closing and has no saltwater fish in stock. I’ll likely drive to Austin to check and see if my favorite shop can order one for me.

Updates? Clowns come in?

 

[Kryssie]

So I have two new clowns, two engineer gobies and an itty bitty tomini tang in QT. They are all eating and appear to be disease free. I haven’t noticed any aggression yet, besides big clown chasing smaller clown. My pictures of the QT are terrible, but I have a couple. So the big 30 day wait begins. The gobies are my favorite I think. I love the way they swim together with their nose to the glass like hunting hounds. The tomini is pretty shy.

My pictures really are poop. Here’s a better picture of my QT setup.

It’s been quite some time since I updated my build thread. I’ve been steadily working on the tank. I redid my manifold and added my Aquamaxx reactors. I’ve also added a Nyos Quantum 120 skimmer. I added @Vivid Creative Aquatics Random Flow Generators.

Livestock wise, I have:
-2 Clarkiis (Lexa and Clarke)
-2 Engineer Gobies (Flotsam and Jetsam)
-1 Lavender Tang (Starfire)
-1 Orange Back Fairy Wrasse (Chinook)
-1 Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse (Lakota)
-1 Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse (Kiowa)
-1 Fire Shrimp (Sebastian)
-1 Blue Cespitularia
-1 Mint Stylopora
-1 GSP rock
-5 Space Traveler Zoas @Pieces of the Ocean
-1 green brain coral
-1 Avatar Goniopora from @AquaSD

Forgive some of the poop quality photos please. I’m still getting the hang of all this.

If you’d like to see more frequent updates, I’ve been posting on my Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/diatom_alley/

Supplies I’m still waiting for, or haven’t installed yet include:
-2 Kessil AP700s
-1 AI Prime Fuge light
-1 GHL Dosing Pump

In the meantime, I’m using my wife’s Kessil. A160 to give the tank some light and keep my few corals happy. I have it focused on one side only where I have my corals temporarily.

Random update: My Orange Back Fairy Wrasse, Chinook, lets me pet him every time I put Nori in the veggie clip. He swims right into my hand every time I do anything to the tank. I love him so much!!!

 

[Kryssie]

All my fish eat Nori except the Engineer Gobies. I didn’t expect it.

Also I got a new coral. An Avatar Goniopora from @AquaSD

Looks great. I love the engineer goby but worried the will knock my smaller rocks over when big

Nice tank!

For some reason, I feel like you are trying to achieve a Joker's (Batman) theme for the bottom portion of your tank...

Thank you. I love Joker so I appreciate that. Before I changed up the vinyl on the sump it looked like an upside down Boba Fett helmet to me.

Thank you so much. I’m worried about the same thing. They don’t dig as much as my weirdo Clarkii though yet. I’ll be cementing my rocks when I do my next water change this weekend.

I finally got some lighting on this tank! And I switched from the Neptune Wav pumps to Nero 5s. The Nero’s are dead silent compared to the Wavs. I love them! I put my first of two AP700s on my tank yesterday and it is looking so good, y’all!

 

[kamla]

Very nice !!!

How do like the AP700?
