hey this is my second tank. i got the tank second hand off ebay was a bargins really. will try a remember everything. i picked it up on a monday nite and after 2-3 hours of cleaning the tank and getting all the trop stuff out it looked like this

i added the water and sand bed the next next day then waited a few days for everything to settle and to get upto temp. i then added my stock from my old tank and all the water luckly i didn't have any problems or spikes.
this is how it looked

so after letting things get settle down and fish and corals settle in. i got more LR and corals. so it was starting to take shape


then i found a very nice fish it was a blue tang and was going to be my last fish into the tank.. bout 2 weeks after having him i got white spot which most of my fish got.i lost the blue tang a yellow clown goby and a sharknose goby. after i had got the spot under control and got rid of it. i started having problems with my nirates. nirates were reading bout 20ppm so was doing bout 2 10% water change a week.finally got them to zero and they r still there now thankfully.


this is how the tank was looking. i change the lighting from t8s to 2 aqua rays reef white and 1 marine white

i think that being us to present day. i have in the tank at the mom different coral bout 10 feather dusters 2 coco worms one white and red and the other red and orange. 2 cleaner shrimp a peppermint shrimp (somewhere) bout 10 hermits and 16 snails. fishes r 2 clowns 2 peacock wrasse 1 royal gramma 1 tiger watchmen goby 1 yellow headed jawfish 1 sailfin tang 1 firefish and 1 flasher wrasse 1green banded goby. i know that my sailfin tang is going to need rehoming at some point.
some pics of the tank now.

When in doubt, do a water change.

the boss (wife) tell me to leave it alone i tried to tell her it would look better painted blue or black but no

tested my ro water last nite to find it has a nitrate reading of 5 ppm. so this morning i when to a lfs to get it tested just to be safe the tds reading were 202 ppm 198 ppm and 204 ppm not good (his tap water was reading at 144ppm). i when to the lfs where i got the ro water from and he said the filters most need changing. so i have had to throw 40 liters of ro down the drain.

had abit of a change in the tank yesterday i have taken my pink pussey coral to my lfs and got a kenya tree coral and going get another coral next week when they have a delivery of new corals. the pink pussey coral was just getting too big and some coral were shaded by it.

this is how the tank looks now

well there has been a few changes to my tank my pink pussey coral has gone and my sailfin tang has been rehome. i know have a small yellow tang and some new corals

Sweet!

Nice!
