The chill lagoon

[Full Hedge]

Hey there buddy. This is my innovative marine 30. I started it about 1.5 months ago when I moved into my new condo. When I was planning the aquarium I wanted it to look spacious, relaxing and something that exudes chill vibes while I sip my scotch.

I decided to go for a lps dominant tank. I find that Lps give off relaxing vibes while Sps offers a sharper look.

So more details on the tank

I currently have three fishes. A nemo thats been with me for 6 years. A baby dory. And like a pink midas blenny (lfs told me it was from the red sea) ?

Thinking of adding another two fishes. A sixline wrasse is a must. A firefish or a bangai cardinal. 

 

For filtration Im using a tunze 9004 skimmer. Growing some red macro algae in the refugium. I use biopellets in a filter bag. Carbon in a filter bag too. Have like 1L of seachem matrix and 1kg of biohome. Using filter pads now. Initially decided not to use them, but I noticed detritus would build up in the return chamber. So rather have the detritus decompose on the filter pad than somewhere else.

Nitrates is consistently 0. Phosphates 0.03ppm. 

Here is a picture of my leather coral (my favourite, although the most boring). One of my first corals and been with me for 8 years, through all horrible mistakes ( and I made ALOT). Grew about triple in size. Best 8 bucks I ever spent.

 

This is baby dory. About an inch long.

Size is deceiving. She eats alot more.

And this is the old bird.

Do you find that the fish jumping prevention netting is blocking the lighting pentration?

Maybe can check out their new netting which is much thinner

Oh I didnt know they released a new one. It looks much thinner and better. The current one blocks abit of light but I dont notice it too much.

Thanks for the suggestion.

nice set up bro.

Good slection of lights

Trying out the red sea reef energy because I like red sea approach to coral nutrition.

Using part A itself since I already have other amino acids.

One note is my zoanthids do seem to like it. I have been observing good growth from them.

Can only provide an anecdotal observation. Not sure how much is actually due to the product.

On a side note, they recommend 6ml/25gal a day for ULNS. Three times the dosage for other systems. My tank has very low nitrate and phosphate levels but quite hestitant to dose that amount.

Anyone used that dosage before?

Sunny delights are growing. See 5 new small heads.

Attached are photos. Hopefully Im not crazy.

I’m using the red sea reef energy part A and aquaforest amino mix.

I dont target feed them but do broadcast feed reef roids with argent cyclopeeze.

Grew n became fat

Zoa update: blue hornets and Sunny D growing very fast. Took a frag of red ppl eater. Tbh red ppl look nicer on frag disk than a colony on rock 

And broke up the lunar eclipse colony

Got some new additions too

[Full Hedge]

I stopped using aminos and reef energy A.

Getting better colouration.

My kit kat acro (acropora abrotanoides) developing green on the tips.

Nitrates consistently 0. Phosphates <0.03

Can you share where to look for those large frag plug that the zoas are on ?

[Full Hedge]

This one not large frag plug is frag disk. Easier put on sand cuz my sand layer not thick.

I got mine from seasonal. But quite a few lfs have it.

[Reef2Max]

i think madpetz sell those frag disk as well 

[Full Hedge]

New additions. Darth mauls with different patterns.

Thinking of cutting the rock and glueing to frag disk. Allow them to grow properly.
