My new 110g set up just started

Thanks so much for your advice.... i was planning on adding only one piece at a time anyway but I think the idea with the base rock is great .... especially because the LR here in Spain is really expensive!!!
Moved the zoas up and hope they will open soon ;d!!!
Thanks again ya'll !!!

 

Ordered the base rock which will probably be here in about 2 weeks. I am leaving for a business trip again for about a week, so upon my return I should be able to start adding the rock and after that possibly another coral or fish. So far the tank has been going for 7 months and the water parameters are very stable. Only have a problem with my aquatronica controller.... think I need to move the probe because the reading for salinity always deveates from my refractometer...
All is good though and my fish and corals are thriving (except for the zoas which I just moved yesterday, so I will give them some time to adjust)....
Plus my two peppermint shrimp dissappeared.... maybe they were a good meal? Anyway, my aptaisia problem is gone with the exception of one or two heads. But I will keep treating them with hot water and lemonjuice......
Any recommendations when it comes to this problem?
Otherwise, I was wondering whether I could buy some corals in Germany and then transport them to Spain (just a 2 hour flight). I guess I would have to check with the airline about checking them in as cargo. But then again I don't know how to pack them.... We shall see....
Anyway, thanks for following my thread! You shall see the tank growing but I do take my time, so I am thinking it will take me about another 10 months to make it look the way I would like.
Otherwise a very happy camper.... love my yellow tang "Bico". The two clowns have paired up with the chromi and they pretty much stay in one place... little lovebirds

 

nice work. not sure on the transport from germany, depends on flight rules and regulations there i guess. as for packaging it for shipment you can do a quick google search on how to ship coral. i just did cuz i was curious and noticed they mostly ship them in a damp wet bag. they're not actually "IN WATER". makes sense the water would weigh more and cost more to ship.

i dunno, i wouldnt trust myself to transport something expensive like a elegance coral or something from across state lines so i guess its similiar to multiple countries

 

Looking goooood!!

 

Thanks for your advice... I decided not to transport anything... it would brake my heart if any coral or fish would arrive dead. So, I have to live with what I can get here in Spain and the selection is VERY limited but I can ask my lfs guy to order I guess..
And thanks for being in touch and comment KC!!!
How is your tank coming along?

 

Hmmm it was going really well. I added a bunch of fish and corals. But then these three anthias I added had lymphocystis, a virus, and so that has definitely slowed my roll. I'm waiting for that virus to pass. Plus I'm having an ich attack because of the stress of the virus. But my corals are great! Thanks for asking!

Glad you're tank is doing well!!

 

Sorry to hear about your problems with the anthias and itch... hopefully they will be well again very soon!! Sending you my very best and good luck!

 

Still waiting for my zoas to open.....

 

Zoas not opening

A few pics of my corals... including the zoas that don't seem to open....

 

I think it's best to even quaranteen the corals from now on... have to look for an adequate tank. Will keep ya'll posted.
