Hey thanks for your feed back, like I mentioned in most of my post I am still pretty new and there is much to learn. I think that just having a functional system that I am happy with my cheap corals lol although I do have 1 nice one. So I definitely see your point. I have a problem positioning...

I really didn't want to say anything but my friend you can go pound sand.. My reef is a 12 gal that is 3 months old. I am 100 percent new to the hobby and I am very happy on how it is progressing. There is less then a 1k invested into my set up which is pocket change. If I knew what I was doing...

Hello everyone, I just had a quick question that keeps popping up on quick growing coral. I keep reading that people are having a hard time when their coral grows to quickly. Mostly gsp and xenia. I have both of these corals and yea they are growing kinda quick but what is so wrong with that?! I...

Check out the new post I put up in the "new to reefing forum" The 12g nano reef update.

Hello everyone, just wanted to take a moment to share my reef. 1 month and a few days old. 11 corals, 3 fishies, full cuc shrimp, snails, crabs. Had to take the emerald crab out... He ate my gsp like a lawn mower but it growing back! just a fyi water parameters are perfect. Let me know what you...

Yes you can have have a pair of clowns but when you pick them out try to find two in the same tank that are about the same size. Have them put both the clowns in the same bag and when you put them in the tank release them at the same time. You want a pair that is already bonded so they don't try...

I'm Also somewhat new and in my first month I have 3 fish, 5 corals, and a full clean up crew. I have a 12 gal started with 18lbs of live rock and 12lbs of live sand. I used AIP quick start and my tank was ready in 2 weeks. I have coraline growing crazy and my algae started getting out of hand...

How big is your tank? Live rock/ sand? Did you use bacteria on start up?

Yea, I did a 25% Water change today with a higher SG. My tank was at 1.022 and I did a water change at 1.026 and now 5 hours later the tank sits at 1.024. I was planning on buying a green torch and hammer this weekend but then my shrimp died. So I will just hold off. I was at the LFS today and...

I believe it was iodine.. I was pushing for a long water change plus dosing iodine to promote my zoa growth. Which worked ( 3 New ployps of atomic green in a week) but at the cost of my poor shrimp. I started up a batch of water this morning for a water change.

Here is a pic of how I found my shrimp dead

Tonight when I fed my tank I noticed my shrimp didn't spring into action.. I didn't even realize it was dead because the antennas were still moving later to find it was the power head. This morning he was fine! He molted 3 days ago and has been super active since. He has been in my tank for 3...

Also starting water changes weekly vs bi weekly until I find a way to mod my protein skimmer.

So tank update... Water parameters haven't really changed besides Salinty which is slowly going up. My green zoas are doing amazing as well as the gsp. My other zoas are normal (not adding polyps like the green) what worries me is the purple pulsing xenias. The stocks have gotten smaller. Idk...

Thank you!! :)

Added new light, green zoo, and a cleaner shrimp. Also did my first water change. Pic are after water change :) probably won't add anything else for a while lol tank is only 3 weeks old.

That is what I have been doing so I'll keep at it. Thanks!!

I already planned on some Friday night fragging when they get bigger. I know they will grow fast especially when I add my new 6w led today. The standard lighting for this tank sucks. I do have a question though, my Salinty is 1.021 and I mix my own water with coral pro salt and everything is...

So it turns out my tank was perfect! Added some livestock finally :) the green star polyps opened after a hour in the tank! And so did the zoas. I put the clowns in at the same time and they are already "dancing" here's some pics

I also just found another hitchhiker. A small Asterina star on the glass.
