CV's 75g noobie tank and now upgrade to 240g

[boacvh]

For the first time in the hobby, I have baby fish! (Or fry or hatchling or whatever the name is). Just as I started following @Paul B advice of feeding clams, white worms and blackworms. And playing some Barry White of course to my cardinals. I found him in my overflow!

Awesome pictures!
Not a fish guy so not even sure what it is -- some kind of jawfish/goby?

Thank you @EricR . Yes, it is a blue spotted jawfish.

Hi I was wondering if you have a part list for the light rack , I'm not familiar with the 80/20 catalog but really like this design and should solve some issues I'm having with mounting the lights thanks

Sure do. PM me your email and I can send you the excel list @Reefer Reboot put together for me originally?

I guess this is what happens when you neglect the frag rack.

Starting to really enjoy my upgrade. Still battling some cyano but overall things are finally doing great again.

My CBB loves clams. He won't touch the masstick I put on the glass for the other fish. But......, put the masstick on an empty clam and.....he devours it!! What a prim little *******!!

This monster rarely leaves his caves, but I guess he is telling me Halloween is near
The photobomb to make me lose focus was also priceless !!

Since I have been feeding little neck clams, I decided to keep a few in the tank. They burrowed as soon as they hit the sand! We'll see how long they last.

hmmmm.... come home for a nice Friday afternoon to notice one of my RFA decided to go walkabout ang got pureed by my MP60. One of my large Acro colononies seems to have taken the brunt of it, almost 2/3 is bright white now. . all fish and most corals ok though

Here is the colony. Looks like a goner. STN picking up speed. I'll frag and salvage what I can at this point. Oh well, part of this beautiful hobbie of ours and this one is a fast grower so hopefully comes back from a frag

Wow. These guys did it again. Took a few pictures of their first glimpse of live outside their dad.

Tank seems to be growing nicely. Been dosing phyto like crazy. Not sure if correlated with recent success but since it's working I'll keep at it. Tank running with elevated phosphates and corals don't seem to care so far.

Awesome tank and excellent picture taking ability -- great job!
