Norg's 30 gallon reef (New stuff pg.7)

Well just a small update, Ive noticed my clowns doing their mating dance but didnt expect them to mate anytime soon. I walked downstairs and caught them laying their eggs. Pretty interesting I would say. I would have taken pictures but I didnt want to bother them. The lights were also off so it would have been difficult to get a good shot of them.

 

man this tank is fricken sweet. Id love to set one of these up in my office at work, but id prolly get in trouble for never doing anything productive besides work on my tank.

idk how you grow and keep corals so well, im really starting to think its the source that i get my coral from, but they are mostly busts.

anyways great tank man, do you only have the wrasse and the two mating clowns in there now?

 

Good to hear about your clowns. Your tank is looking really nice.

 

Well its about that time for an update I suppose. There has been a decent amount going on with this tank. Its pretty well packed with corals now. I have finally found balance with this tank it seems. My PO4 levels are coming down, PH is stable, alk steady at 9.3DKH, cal at 450ppm and mag at 1400-1500 consistently. FINALLY. After all the bleaching events I have had in my two systems in this past year its about time that something goes right for me in this hobby. Ill take better pictures again soon.



Still coloring up many of the corals in this tank, but they are doing better than before.



The left side of this tank is packed.



ORA Joe the coral



Blue tipped stag.



Unsure on ID



Also unsure on ID. This coral has gone from totally white to turning purple at the base with greenish polyps. Hopefully it continues to change.



A small frag of ORA red planet and a local fragger's coral he calls "Blue hard stuff."



And a couple frags for Chris!

 

Looking very good Norg.

The Joe the Coral is beautiful.

Cool it is starting to turn around for you, it sure shows in the tank.

Looking Good Norg!

Was that the Tyree Monti flower I saw in the FTS?

Still got the Pocillipora?- The mother colony is doing great!

Soo glad to hear things are going better for your tank(s).

HOpefully, your health is doing better too?

Can't wait to see ya at my house This Saturday at the Jan. Wi Reef Sociey meeting!

 

Looking good, congrats on getting it all settled down.

 

Thank you. I think the Joe the coral is my favorite currently. Im glad that I was able to get some from my buddy Nick. This was the tank it came from.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!! Thanks man!!! [/QUOTE]

No problem man. Some more SPS in your biocube cant hurt right?

Thanks Todd! The Tyree montiflower is in my frag tank currently, but I will probably make room for it in this tank. Along with that pocillipora, but Im sure Ill make room for some more corals in here... Somehow... lol My health has been getting a bit better. Hopefully it can be fixed by surgery, but thats a long story. Im looking forward to Saturday as well!

Thanks John. Its nice to be able to enjoy this tank again.

 

I understand that. I have been having dosing issues and lost a little joy also.
