Well it's been a while since I've post on this tank. Anyways not a good idea to throw in a sps at the beginning. Three of the sps were removed and brought home to my main tank as they were starting to stn. But the zoas, birdsnest and digi and Gsp are all doing great if u look at the birdsnest there are a bunch of new growth on it. Sorry pics were taken just as the lights turned on so some polyps are still closed

Looking good.

What do you think was the cause of the stn?

Very nice, I like the light & how clean the setup looks. I too am leaning to a zoa dominate nano.

I think the tank is just way to new to sustain it so I took them home. Only the birdsnest and digi is doing good lol. Those things are bulletproof

Bring it lol. Ill be following your build, but you gotta catch up lol

No you have to slow down :lol: I am right on schedule :razz:

Well it's been a while been busy at work I will have to post a pic of my tank before I leave for vacation and a pic when I get back lol. Went to concept aquatics today to grab some salt and ended up with a bunch of frags for my tank lol. :biggrin: Didnt know they had corals lol. It was good talking to u Dave and Denny or the double d's has a good ring to it lol.

This tank looks great I love how clean it looks. I just love how fast whiteout conditions clear up in small tanks.

Well it's been a while since I posted an update. Well as expected after the holidays my co workers had over fed my clownfish lol. Needless to say I have a bit of a hair algea problem right now lol. Picked up some sweet rics for the nano yesterday from concepts. Can't beat thier price on their livestock. Gonna probably head back there and pick up some fruitloops zoas for the nano.

decided not to do sps in this tank as it is to hard to keep the alk, and calcium levels constant so will be doing lps only :lol:

that's all the cool kids are doing these days anyways i forgot to send that memo out. looking nice man.

lol you shouldn't look at my main tank then lol

no co-workers to blame for the main tank lol. is it not happy? or is it jammed full of sps?

lol its packed with sps and i restarted since the last time i talked to u when my tank was starting to crash lol. have a little issue with po4 right now but nothing bad lol water changes are key lol

Well here's a bit of an update. I am currently battling gha and its winning for now lol. Anyways here's some pics.

the plan is to do a 80% water change and some time with the tweezer and toothbrush lol

I made a top to keep my cats out. You might need one for the coworkers?

lol i have to start hiding the food since some of the co workers keep on feeding my tank when i'm off work or on lunch lol, hence the gha

Maybe you should give them the tweezers and tell them that pulling HA out of the tank is a good stress reliever. Very popular in Japan and similar to the pushing sand around theory.

lol i wish that would make my life a lot easier, anyways i have added a pj cardinal from Kein and since have moved from sps to all lps with the constant evap from the tank and salinity swings the sps just couldn't make it. i will probably have to rig something up for an ato unit:lol:

Well after pruning the hair algea and changing the water before I went to fort Mac. I return to see this in my tank.

Back to the drawing board lol. The coworkers are feeding the tank way to much, same with my parents on my home tank but that's another story. thinking of shutting it down since this was only from me not being in the office for 2 weeks, or Might have to give chemiclean a try.

Get the Mexican turbo crew in their

I had the same problem when I started my nano, picked up 6 mexi turbos & it was clean as a whistle in less then a week.
