So this tank has gone through a few changes. . . probably not for the better. Think I sort of lost sight of my goal for this tank and got a bit obsessed with upgrading things. . . I changed the rock work. . . twice. Added corals. . . much faster than I should have. . . and yeah. . . things got off track. . . but I think I can fix it.
I took out the confused and too tall negative space aqua scape, and put back in a simple scape of the appropriate height. The scape is drilled for plugs so I can move the corals around as needed. I attached all the corals to frag plugs (all the corals not on islands), and placed them as best I could. I made a specific spot/rock for my Macro algae so they get some good light. . . .
PLAN: going to FINALLY upgrade one of my lights, currently have 1 marine light and 1 FRESH WATER light. . . will buy a second marine light on payday. Going to upgrade my powerhead, right now using a Sicce nano stream, which is fine, but no pulsing/wave making. . . MIGHT upgrade the filter, thinking a tidal 55 might give me more space for media. I could probably fit my media blocks into the 55 instead of the bag of media (which I don't love) that I have in the tidal 35.
Anyway, no pictures today, everything is angry from the move anyway. But picture soon. . .
Also, I found a xenia or anthelia growing on the bottom glass, pretty cool.
