Seth's 225g Peninsula Full reef


Recommended Posts

So this is more of an observation tank?

Yah.  and some added seclusion while the fish deals with the stress of shipping. And so I can make sure they are eating.  I make sure all fish are eating pellets so in case I need to go on a work trip I can leave them home with an auto feeder.  So using it to transition the fish over to pellet food as well.  I lost several fish over my last trip because only a few of them were eating pellets.

A lot of wisdom in this line of thinking! :thumbsup:

So it's been awhile since an update.

 

Some stuff that has changed:

My Yellow tang bullied my blue line tang until he stopped eating and lost the blue line tang

removed the yellow tang and princess damsel from the tank so I can add more community related fish.

Added 4 royal grammas

added a black cap basslet

added 3 red fiddler crabs

added a purple lobster

added a yellow coris wrasse

baby sitting some acro colonies for a friend

added a chaeto reactor with input from my calcium reactor to absorb the excess co2

removed my brs dual reactor and now only using a Avast media reactor for gfo and no longer running carbon.

Carboys for dosing?

Also been considering just ordering some of the Kegco wide mouth carboys as it would make cleaning them exponentially easier to clean.
