Zechenia’s Upgrade to 90 Gallons!

Tank looks great Z! keep me updated on the bannerfish! I've always wanted one

 

So far the Bannerfish has been great! Only been a couple days though, lol

 

Are they expensive?

 

Bannerfish? Slightly (for me)... but not compared to some fish in this hobby!

 

Diatoms are slowly starting to fade it looks like. I probably should be adding a cleanup crew shortly. Unfortunately next week I will be out of town a couple days for business, so I can't order until after I get back. My algae magnet is being delivered today, so I can at least clean the glass (rocks are clearing up, but glass is baaaaaaaad).

I have now realized the butterfly will nibble on some palys I have. But only the bright green ones. I moved it out of the butterflies normal "path" and now it does it much less. I honestly can't tell though if it's nibbling the palys, or the algae on the rock beneath it (since it was from my old tank, it's the only rock with established algae).

Next items on my list: Clean up Crew, and an appropriate sized Skimmer.

Also, a local reefer is moving, so I am going to be picking up some frags soon as he tries to thin out his collection.

 

So, for Valentines Day I was given money specifically for fish/inverts/coral. Looks like I’ll be stopping by the store to see if they have anything that interests me Also, I know I would get a TON of crap if I decided to use it toward my Clean up Crew. April has a huge phobia of slugs (which relates, to a lesser degree of snails). She’ll tolerate them in my tank… but them as a V-Day gift wouldn’t go over well

Also, sadly, I noticed a decent amount of salt creep from my fuge. Looks like the leak wasn’t totally fixed. Looks like I’ll have to stop the flow (and plug in a heater and maybe powerhead for the fuge), and try to fix the leak again

The plus is that the salt creep gave me an idea of where the leak is located.

 

I like the scape, especially the column on the left!

 

I'm excited to add coral over there! There are a lot of little places to place frag plugs out of it

 

Due to the amount of time I spend writing about my aquarium as it is, I decided to create a blog for it!

Zechenia

Hopefully will have the layout done sometime tonight and then I can actually start making posts.

Def plan to keep posting here as well

 

Eek, all my pictures on here got screwed up! Bad photobucket! lol.

Anyway, I spent sometime last night observing my fuge. It's getting crazy with life already! I can't wait until it starts to appear within my display tank. I posted more info here <shameless blog plug> It’s ALLLLLLIVEEEEEEEE | Zechenia </shameless blog plug>


I also ordered my CuC. Should be here Thursday, reef cleaners as usual!
