I would figure with all you have going on at the store you would have given up on home tanks

Still working on the aquascaping. We are not completely happy with it yet.



This is my makeshift quarantine tank. I refuse to have multiple tank syndrome. lol

Your tank is going to look amazing when complete, any decision on fish yet?

Yep. I would rather the pics of new fish speak for themselves.

Should have one of them in 3 weeks.

Good job getting the expert designer on the aquascape! Is multiple bucket syndrome better than multiple tank syndrome?

Ha!

It's the lesser of two evils.

Does any local store carry the flaming prawn goby ?

I haven't seen it.

You will need to get on an order list to get the more rare species.

Just a guess, but I would talk to aqua valley since he suggested it.

I spent more time on aquascaping. It's challenging because of the light fixture position so I am pretty limited to what I can do for coral placement. It's a mixture of dryrock and live rock so its going to look terrible until they are covered in coraline.











I also purchased a neon green candy cane coral for La Niche that is currently in QT. I was surprised when I tested the salinity and it was at 1.030. I had to match the salinity in a 2nd QT tank "bucket" so that I can slowly drop it down to 1.026 over the next week. I was expecting to just stick the coral in with the clown fish.

I hole through that wall to a sump below would improve water quality and reduce fluctuations

Yep. I already thought about that.

It may happen in the future but for now, I am trying to keep it simple.

Very nice! Even without coraline it's far from ugly. Good job!

I agree, I think it's lacking a cave spot for those non photo corals

Great build thread!
Might try to convince my gf I need one of these and replace the fluval chi tank she adores lol!
Just got to make her think it was her idea lol

I need to leave room for corals but as they grow, that middle pathway may become a type of cave.

I picked up 6 more frags today but its not worth taking pics because the lighting they are under does not do them any justice.

I am using my studio lights while they sit in QT. I figured a few people might get a good laugh.
