Alfies Little Reef (Picture Intensive)

Wow, beautiful tank! I can't believe how mature it looks - and it's only been set up since May! Thanks for sharing!

 

I have to agree with KC.. the tank looks great and very healthy and happy.

 

nice tank! do your clowns host your sun coral or were they just in the picture by coincidence?

 

How did the dragon wrasse do? Did it move stuff around and take out your cuc?

 

Lol yes they do host the Suns Cant wait for the tank to be mature enough for a Nem

As a juvenile he is ok, only thing he is a pain in the ass with frags, he picks them up and throws them around. He does it with the odd hermit but not too often. He is a beauty of a fish, unfortunatley they turn into ugly buggers as adults :/

 

Just a quick update at Week 16

As usual there has been some minor aquascaping going on but nothing enough to cause a spike

The hair algae has gone completely now with only some dead residue left on the rock which is slowly going.

Jobs to do this week, clean and refill Phosphate reactor, clean powerheads, 10% water change with salted Ro. Sort pendant cables on light if time permits :/

Heres a FTS for you picture lovers

Will add a few closeups later

 

Did a much need water change today and took a few snaps while I was at it

 

nice tank arent dragon wrasses not reef safe? they are beautiful as juveniles but as said before they arent as cool as adults

 

As far as mine goes he just has a tendancy of throwing things around, one of the worst is when he digs around and throuws sand about covering corals :/ keeps me on my feet with regards to housekeeping though. As for munching on corals which is what my concerns are as far as reef safe I haven't had any problems.
For me, he is a great character and outweighs the cons, atleast at the moment

 

Nice looking set up Alfie
