first ever build. 46g bow front. the start

Any suggestions? I have roughly 60 Ibs. seems like more. WIll corals survive underrocks?

 

Just wanted to warn you about the aptasia in your first photo. Use aptasia x to get rid of them. They can cause some serious problems.

Looks great so far.

 

Hey thanks for the tip. actually though that is an old pic. I have since removed that rock and placed two pepprmint shrimp in the aquarium. the last page are most recent photos.

 

It has been 2 1/2 months since I started my first Reef Tank. I have an abundant amount from 3reef.

Here are some of the corals I have added since then

Neon Ricordea, Branching Hammer, Sinularia,Frogspawn, last pic is cabbage leather, I also have a rock of green zoas

 

Full Tank Shot. I still have a few other corals I have yet to add pictures. (green zoas, several mushrooms including Superman. Also in the pic with the sinularia coral is my only SPS, a orange Montipora Frag.

I have mostly frags in my tank and in the two months the only thing I see tremendous growth on is the cabbage leather (the most dull coral in the tank). I love the price of frags but I'm ready to get atleast one adult coral. any suggestions?

 

here are some of the zoas. left rock, Left purple zoas, right pink zoas, left rock, orange and blue zoas.

 

I have some problem with my hammer coral not branching as it did in the LPS?

 

This was a full tank shot from a month and half ago. (I no longer have the brown Xenia)



Red Thorny Star, his favorite place, on the glass. (notice the branching Hammer doing much better then than the picture above from two days ago

 

green zoas does anyone have the name of them? they have blue band and also some yellow around the outside. new galaxia coral

 

This is the tank today after I added the galaxea coral. I actually took back a leather cabbage because it was to big I traded it for the galaxea.
