My First Salterwater ( 110 gallon show)

I have a few coral frags. Hammer coral, star polyp, tiny frog spawn , clove polyp....

My superman mushroom and colt coral don't look too happy right now. Anyone have any suggestions?

Salt: 1.024
Ca: 440
Mag: 1270
NH4: 0
Pka: 8
Temp: 77

I didn't test nitrites and nitrates for sake of sanity sense everything is relatively new and in flux.

 

Now that looks like a whopper of a deal . Love the rocks and your oddessy ! You are a trooper...lol

please test so we can help, but congrats on the new tank. Corals don't like change much so i wouldn't worry about that. But you are prob in a cycle still, so i'd be getting ALOT of RODI water ready and saltwater ready and do some water changes. Was there any water covering the sand bed when you moved it?

 

Nitrites and nitrates are zero.

 

The tank has been up and running for a month and a half. Yes the sand bed was covered an inch with water during transport.

 

If you just added them, they may just be adjusting to the new digs. Also, the mushroom may be getting to much light. But I'd give it a couple days and see.

One thing I've learned is not to get overly concerned when rhodactis and leathers pout. They always come out of their hissy looking better than ever.

 

It looks very nice! You are much more brave than I ! I let my tank cycle between 4-6 months with a chromis or two before I did any corals. But then, I do everything slow in this hobby.

 

1,000 ceriths! Holy Abalone Batman!

 

I think your scape looks great. I agree with Cosmo though, have some water on hand for weekly changes. That size tank can hold a lot of different fish, but you're gonna have to wait until that base rock grows some more nitrifying bacteria (about 4-6 months )before you add more livestock. So far it looks like you're on the right track. Well done. ;D

 

Yes I don't plan on adding anything else to the tank for at least a few months. Thanks for the feedback ya'll.
