Thanks mindy :)

Not bad for a tank that's all dry rock lol we still have plenty of zoanthids to add we're doing that part slowly polyp by polyp but it's getting full :) we are maxed out on fish but do plan on some more inverts (porcelain crabs, some more anemone shrimp etc)

Overall though we have had prctiacally no issues with this tank and everything is getting along fairly well:)

Over the next little while we are going to finish the stands exterior as well I need to make a mesh cover somehow for the guard dogs (big jumpers)

Once this is done I guess we will have to walk away for a year to let it fill in tightly or set up another lol kinda wish We went 36 x 36 or 48 x 48............

Hmmmm I wonder if a larger upgrade would fly so soon lol

Hmmmm...

Hmm..

Hm

I want to lol:mrgreen:

Great looking pics, I am still loving the waterfall idea.

Thanks Ian buddy , you guys will have to come check it out In person soon, I've actually been thinking about setting up a tank tours for Calgary maybe have a large group of people go and see calgarys best setups on certain days ....would be cool and I'm sure I know a few nice reefs to nominate (kien!!!)

I could do the zoanthid systems and the waterfall tank in one shot:)

That's another story though lol

Cheers buddy

Lol we would love to come check it out sometime, pick up some zoas maybe as well. Haha just need a day off sometime.

Time for a quick update :)

I have recently had both my gfo and carbon reactors clog (no surprise there lol) and we were getting some cyano but with a quick net mod to the tlf it's now almost impossible to clog and cyano disappeared as soon as they were back online.

We have increased our vinegar dose by 10mls a day and so far so good

We Have a mystery on our hands , shrimps are disappearing exoskeleton and all , it's either the pistol shrimp doing it or the Scott's fairy wrasse , theres no visable signs of anything what so ever and the tank is too small to hide ....the missing shrimp are small like sexy shrimp, anemone shrimps and a single small cleaner shrimp. The wrasse I've been watching like a hawk and it doesn't seem like he's interested at all in them but the pistol is elusive and is never seen only heard lol it's one of those two for sure

We added a cool little goby , a flaming prawn goby he's cryptic and isn't out much and about 1/4" to 1/2" in size , he has found the fire shrimp and lives side by side just doesn't come into the light so I have a crappy video I managed to take but does show him as well we took some pics in a white dish before adding him to the tank :)

Still having an issue with all the shrimps in the system picking at the clams , the wrasse works great at night but he's a 9 to 5 fish and night is when play time begins so its Time to find a night time worker :)

Finally lost the large blue maxima clam , after several fresh water dips for pinched mantle he would look ok then not the next week , the shrimps picked him to a stress point when I finally pulled it you can tell when it's time :(

Mot much room for corals anymore but We added some more dendro colonies to the dark area where the clam was sitting as well I've been adding some zoas around top and here and there :)

Wll post an up to date video tomorrow as well some fts pics we took :)

Cheers

Denny and Ruth

Sorry to hear about the shrimps and clam :cry:
