Well I picked up some Tonga LR at the LFS it was to good looking and a great price to pass up.
Thanks Mr. Coral

So here is the progress.

No water or lights

Water and Lights

 

[OniTweak]

Just did my first readings on water and everything, so how am I doing?

Ammonia: .25-.5
Nitrates: 25ppm high, 5.0 ppm low
Nitrites: 0ppm
Gravity: 1.023

Just want to make sure everything is right. also I didn't add in an ammonia source but there is apparently some there.

also I didn't add in an ammonia source but there is apparently some there.

Die off from the LR more than than likely.

Die off from the LR more than than likely.

So will I need to add something in or will it be good?

 

[melosu58]

It might be OK. If you add anything I would maybe add a few flakes of food. It`s obvious that you have a source already. Keep testing and let us know how high the ammonia gets.

 

[OniTweak]

Decided to change my aquascaping. I'm pretty happy with it.

 

[pat8you]

Looks good. I like that cave in the middle. I'm sure your fish will to

 

[OniTweak]

Yeah I had it all clumped up in the middle before and when I was doing a PWC I just decided to go ahead and change it around a bit more. O think anything I put in there will be much happier now.

 

[OniTweak]

Well time to update this a bit after my most recent addition.

Frogspawn

More Frogspawn

Superman Mushroom still going strong

Bosley the false perc

Very nice looking corals.

 

[Ziggy953]

I agree very nice looking corals though I believe the "frogspawn" is actually hammer coral. Same family but slightly different.

 

[OniTweak]

I dunno. I know they have the same requirements medium light and medium flow. I thought It was a hammer at first in the store. then when I took it home the arms aren't in the traditional "anchor" state that most hammer came in. I guess it'll be some time before I know. I do know that I like it a lot.

 

[Ziggy953]

It's a very nice looking coral. From the pic I think it is hammer. They do require the same conditions so either way you will have no problems.

 

[melosu58]

Frogspawn and Hammer coral

 

[OniTweak]

Either way I'm happy with the purchase and I can't wait to get my GSP growing everywhere. I wish a picture would come out. Also the corals both look amazing underneath the moonlights.

 

[OniTweak]

So Rick's wasn't to bad. the livestock looked great and the prices were nice.
