Hi, my tank parameters are pretty standard.

Keeping PH - 8.0, Cal - 420ppm, Mag - 1280, KH - 6 (my sps does best at 6 doesn't do as well at 7-8 so I just keep it at 6)

I don't feed my tank heavily, 1 small piece of seaweed and some Ocean Nutrition pellet food daily. 1 frozen mysis cube every other day.

Thank u bro. Can you share your dosing regime? Like how many drops of zeostart, zeobak, coral snow and how often you do it? I am going to start on a new tank and these info would be most helpful for me to slowly find my ground. Appreciate it!

Hi everyone, I would just like to share the progress of my tank. As of right now the tank is around 2 years and 7 mths old. 

The rock scape of the tank is relatively unchanged, only some minor extensions were made through the years.

There had been some losses but overall nothing too serious, so still quite pleased with the results.

FTS as of Today

Very beautiful. Super clean tank and sand bed....how?? :wub:

Thanks MarCal.. for the sand bed maintenance I normally suck out the detritus on the sand when doing weekly water change.

Also plenty of sandstars, nassarius snails, hermit crabs and sand sifting gobies working hard behind the scenes..

Some Pink Birdnest shots..

Photos taken with scaled down Blue light settings..Capture3.thumb.JPG.cd922dfaee8166e0db7402a653fbf731.JPG

 

Not very sure if this piece is Pink Birdnest or not.. Got it a long time ago and could have sworn that it was greenish??

Can some of the experts please help out with the ID? I think it could be Birds of Paradise..Thanks..

So proud of my baby Queen Angelfish..

Go it when it was a tiny 1 inch baby, so worried that it wouldn't survive.. Most times it would just go missing and can't spot it in the tank.. It was even tinier than my juvenile clown fishes at that time..

Now here it is at 9 mths old..

Thanks.. sorry to hear that your yellow eye kole isn't doing well..

When I first introduced my queen angel it was occasionally chased by my yellow and purple tang but it was properly terrorized by my flameback angelfish.. As it was tiny at that time it could hide in places the flameback couldn't get into, one of its favorite hiding places was inside my purple digi conony.. Probably that's how it survived.. At the beginning I did trap the flameback and kept it in the sump for a while but it was still slightly aggressive when I introduced it back..

Now its way bigger than the flameback and slightly bigger than my tangs.. We have peace now..
