My first 45g Updated DIY intank fuge and pictures

You might wanna designate one rock for the zoas. I heard they will take over the rock soon enough, but it hadnt happened to me yet.
Anyways, congrats on the new add!

 

Its day 47 today and lots of stuff has been happening in the last 2days. I have a couple of pictures im going to add if i could get some help IDing them.

There are a couple of these popping up on my new coral rock


This is another random polyp in the middle of my zoas diffrent from the rest


And this looks to me to be purple and green coralline algae growing on my base rocks?

 

1 looks like a blaso\micromussa 2 looks like a frogspawn or hammer coral

 

hazard1086:

Coralline algae growing it is .... it is a sign of healthy symbiotic relationships within your DT.... it should be showing up in your sand bed soon as well.....

looking good

Any other opinions on these? i looked up blasto/micromussa along with frogspawn and hammer corals i see a little smiliarity but not to much

 

So in 2weeks ill be ready for a new fish. I was thinking about getting a YWG and tiger pistol shrimp combo, or a purple firefish, or any suggestions? Also what about another new coral for a beginner?

 

Try a leather or break a piece of rock rubble off a large rock and place it on the sandbed and put xenia or GSP on it. What fish do you have right now?

 

Gobies,dart fish,blennies,clown fish, RG, etc

 

I have 2 b/w clownfish

 

a few chromis and a goby or blenny. or 2 firefish and a jawfish. wrasse. or try a few cardinal fish and school them and add a goby or blenny. assessor, they're cool.
