Questions..

I know its a bit overstocked, but I was generous when picking the stock because I want to narrow it down. All these fish are compatible. So...

What order should I into each fish/invert?
For inverts, how long do I have to wait for invert x?
Anything I should add/remove?

Looks Good! I like what you did with the rock work

 

[Cookies N Punch]

With the lights

 

[jeffwisely]

sounds good to me just make sure you add your tangs together because if you don't you may have to change your rock around. don't know much about angles but other than that all looks great

 

[Cookies N Punch]

Thanks, i was planning on adding both tangs at once any ways. Im going to be checking the water tomorrow.

Nice transformatiom!!

Looks pretty nice. One word of caution though. That light from the window will be causing algea growth in your tank. Diffused lighting will do it everytime. Keep the blinds shut and you should be OK.

 

[Cookies N Punch]

Way ahead of ya. I actually installed another solid blind behind the blind that you cant see but it totally blocks all sunlight out and keep the heat down.

 

[melosu58]

Good idea. Still a nice looking tank.

 

[jeffwisely]

looks great man keep up the good work

 

[Cookies N Punch]

Thanks guys! I cant wait to stock!

The guy I got the LR from had a reef tank, so do you think this is just a little harmless anemone left over from the last tank or the feared aiptasia? When I poke it, it sucks back into the rock and has like a stem when it is all the way out, which is the characteristics of aiptasia. Just wanted to see what u guys think before I kill it?

 

[dezso]

That is aiptasia for sure, try to kill it before you stack it.
Kalkwasher work good, hot fresh water or joeys juice maybe a safer method, peppermint shrimp would be the best if you lucky to get the right kind.

I have neglected my aiptasia in the beginning, later was a nightmare to kill the ones hiding in the back. They stile come back here and there, but they stay only for a day or two

 

[Cookies N Punch]

Thanks ill def try to kill it asap

My pump produces a lot of bubbles and I just wanted to see if it was normal. The pump is completely submerged and when it surfaces it obviously produces a lot more bubbles, but this is how it is all the time..

Update: After doing some research, people were saying it could be from the PS so i turned it off and all the bubbles dissapeared so its definetly something to do with the PS. Any ideas?

Update: Just fixed it. Thanks everyone who responded lol (sarcastic)

 

[sgc0286]

lol, sorry. Glad you figured it out. Not familiar with you setup, is your skimmer HOB or in a sump?

I would skip on the horseshoe crab 'cause they get to like 2'.

Yea Ive been doing a lot of research on them. They need a lot of sand to move around in. Theyre like hardy sting ray crustaceans lol
