tear it up and start again

hey fellow reefers it is time that i tell the story of my 75g reef. i have moved it three times over three years; each time fish and coral were lost :-/ this time i am fighting the dreaded aiptasia. here are some pics to get started, wish me luck.

 

sounds like you need a perment home. good luck.

 

i have three peppermints in but they have no appetite as of yet. also the biggest reason for pushing the reset button was an sebae anemone that grew to be a foot in diameter and ate three of my fish. rip mandarin, queen anthias, leopard wrasse. not to mention the juvenile maroon clown was developing an attitude. a pic to remember them by:

 

my seabe is a human eater and has a tank of his own that is why I got my 75.

 

once my 75 is up and running i am think of turning the 29 into a anenome tank

 

Did you take it down to move it or to get rid of the aptaisia?

 

i also added about 25lbs more LR to make the tanks aquascape pop. Down below is some of the original and new rock. With the anemone out of the way i finally have time for my ever growing monti below are some more of my corals in a bucket, how many times have they been subjected to that? moving sucks!

 

No move this time thank God. i was just tired of losing fish to the anemone and it needed a face lift. i want strictly sps for the most part so the anemones had to go.
