![]() I continued to add aditinal LR as well as base rock to beging my first ever aquascape to my 75 galon corner bow.
![]() ![]() I allowed the tank to idle for close to three months, then i slowly started my decent into this beutifle adiction. I started to stock the tank I added 2x chalk basselets, 1 royal grandma and ...... a male blue deval damsel. All such radiant fish to watch but adding more stock to the tank resulted in a problem with the damsle. I never wanted nore thought a fish was so teritorial, but lesson learnt. Me and my brother inlaw spent the night catching him, so that he could be relocated. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fish i was adding to the tank was a Tiger sand sifting goby as well as a lawnmoer blenni, ![]() ![]() |

![]() I started off with a mushroom rock as my first coral, all water lvls and peramiters were good. One week after that rock went in I Went through a massive algea bloom again, one I nor my brother inlaw had ever seen....There are no pics of this as I was quite frustrated and trying everything to clear it up. Finaly after multiple water changes, different media and eventually, a uv sterilizer is what cleared it all up. "HAHA i could see my fish again and my beautiful mushroom rock!!!! .........That had no mushrooms on it anymore."
![]() ok there are many storys in between there and now and i could spen all day typeing them out. Instead i'll go for the quick sum up and if there is a request for more i'll post them lol. So here is a pic on the tank at the 1 year marker point. ![]() |
