Upgrade Build- 120 gal Oceanic Tech Tank DSPS

You are dealing with a double whammy. Dont let it get you down too bad. Ive been living with AEFW for a long time now. I dont have a proper QT setup for all the acros, so basting and dipping is still what I'm doing. I just really thought they would never touch the slimer given its slimey coating. Oh well. I dont really mind having to break it off the rock, its the remounting it. That thing slimes like a scene from Ghostbusters!

Thanks Vinny! I wish that overflow box wasnt as big as it is....

I am not allowing the coraline to grow on the back glass since there is no way to keep it off the overflow. Better to have a more solid look than the purple center.

 

It's a really nice piece, I love that intense green. I'm growing out a small piece at the moment! That's a bummer though, I know how the pests can be. I'm surprised you have a flat worm problem with your wrasses. Have you seen the flat worms getting after it?

 

They only eat the flatworms when i baste the corals and they hit the water column.

 

Awesome tank....whats ur current fish stock?

 

Thanks!

Tank looks great, how well does your Red Velvet Wrasse get along with the other fish in your tank? I am looking to purchase one for my tank. I am afraid my Mystery Wrasse will pick on it.

 

Funny that you mention this now. My red velvet was a total bully. It chased my mystery wrasse constantly. I refer to it in a passed tense because it died being a bully. It was chasing the mystery wrasse and swam right into my RBTA got stung pretty bad and it did not recover.

I honestly wasnt that sad to see it go. The best part is, my female lineatus immediately starting changing to a male right after.;D
