Pretty!!!

My gf picked it, she said the exact same thing lol, thanks

 

[mrwizard]

Could I add more fish to my tank?
I currently have-
2x clowns
Yellow wrasse
Tomini tang
Blue chromis
Sunburst anthias
& CUC

I was hoping to get a mandarin in a few months when I have enough pods and maybe an engineer goby? What do you guys think?

 

[mrwizard]

Anyone?
Also how long should I wait before I get a bta for my clowns? My tank is about 3-4months old now.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Wait until its 6 months old IMO

If you can keep all parameters stable and have good filtration you dont have to wait good lighting stable params all they require nothing will change in 8 months that you cant do now

That makes sense, I'm gonna try get my nitrates down before I try one tho, for some reason my nitrates have always been around the 20mark, just added some cheato into the sump so I'm hoping to see a difference soon. I have 2 ai sol units so I think the lighting will be good enough. thank you for the reply

I run my chaeto on 24/7 lighting never have any readings on nitrate always 0

At the moment I'm running it so when the dt lights are on the sump lights are off and vice versa, I'll leave them on starting today see if I get any change. I don't think I've ever seen nitrates at 0 lol.

New additions - picked up an engineer goby today, he's quite happily making a burrow under one of my rocks, also picked up a sea hare and a montipora frag. Heres a pic of the frag

 

[kdpuffer]

Nice frag, I'm actually trading some of my green and blue stripes mushrooms for for some of that.

Thanks, I thought it was quite cheap at £14 so had to grab it.
Those mushrooms you have sound like they got some nice colours to them, I think my next buy will be mushrooms, I have a few neon green corals in my tank so need some different colours.

 

[kdpuffer]

Be prepared with mushrooms though cause they can spread fast once they get going. Check out my 55g build thread, right at the beginning I have pics of the shrooms.

I kinda want them to grow fast but not that fast lol. Had a look at yours 2, like the purple ones you have, gonna keep my eye out for some of those.

Those are actually blue striped mushrooms.
