Coralgurls tank build 180 - it's ALIVE

[Coralgurl]

I picked up a seafood mix, shrimp, mussels, octopus. Same as what he was being fed. Cut it up into pieces and tried a piece with the tongs. He might not be settled yet.

Picking up some screen material, and will try to make sure there's no way out...only concern is the filter, but will figure something out.

That sucks you've lost yours, I can't believe how much I like this guy! Will you have another one?

Are you going to make a Fiberglass screen ( bug screen ) or use egg crate ?

[Coralgurl]

Was going to use screen door material, he's small enough to get through egg crate.

i will be getting another in the future


if he doesnt eat its only that hes getting use to your tank, snowflakes are very hardy and usually big eaters

[Coralgurl]

I'm not worried about him, I know he's healthy

The person I got mine from has another one, she's getting out of the hobby.......might be time for another...

I just bought a roll of the fiberglass ( fibreglass ? ) material from Home Despot. I plan on using it to cover the eggcrate which covers my overflow. It's finer than I planned on using, but it doesn't really matter, does it. It's not like it's blocking air flow or something.
36" x 40" was about $10. Gonna be lots left over for me.
If you would rather cover all you eggcrate, make sure you buy the bigger roll. Or you could use the leftovers to work on your windows
Whatever, I'll let you know how it goes.

I haven't really added anymore livestock to the tank in a while, dealt with a funky smell, now a lovely outbreak of cyano. Im doing 10% water changes every couple of days and manually removing what i can. I've ordered a gfo from brs as well as filter socks, hoping its here next week. Some of my lps are not doing well, fading color, so I've moved to different flow areas, but I think it may be bec of the phosphates,nitrates, I'm getting slight readings on the API tests but figure it's all in the cyano. Hopefully once I get this under control or gone, I will like my tank again....

I've been thinking of a fish list and would like some input. Currently have the following:
2 clowns
Radiant wrasse
Solar wrasse
Cardinal
Hippo tang
Royal gramma

(eel is in the 55 gl tank)

I will be adding a yellow tang but not for a while (last one got aggressive)
I would love a reef safe trigger
Would also love a ccb, but probably won't add one
Dwarf angels?
More wrasses?
Thoughts?
