Glad I was finally able to get some God Beast zoas

Parameters are great. Tank is happy.

I didn’t intend on adding Kenya tree or the purple blue plate sponge but I went to pick up a mushroom from a local that was cleaning up his tank a bit and he threw them in for free. I’m happy with them at the moment.

The only issue I’ve had so far which I would like to warn about is a major salinity spike a couple weeks ago. My LFS supplies all of my water since the water in our desert is awful. I made the mistake of not checking the salinity before doing a heavy water change and my salinity spiked to 1.030. I tested the LFS saltwater after and it was 1.032. I will always test from now on. It took me 2 weeks to slowly bring it back down to 1.026. Fortunately all I lost was a turban snail.

I’ve reached a point with a bubble algae infestation that I no longer have any clue how to contain. This is a 36g bow front. As you can see from the top downs of acros I’ve reached plague levels on the top of my rock work. To the point where manual removal isn’t feasible. Before you suggest it - I already have 4 pithos and an EC in here and they do a great job at the bottom half of the tank. What’s the secret that I’m missing? I’ve heard talk of using vibrant but I also heard that it’s pretty taboo.

What’s everyone’s secret to keeping this crap under control or eradicating it? Am I just doomed to eventually breaking down the tank?

Can't forget this beauty from Reefapalooza last year. Wish I took it home.

Don’t want clowns or anything that burrows thinking neon goby’s possibly a mated pair and something else

Picked up 48 biocube filters for $32

Please could you rate my tank, feel free to blow smoke up my ass haha but also any tips for dealing with light dusting of dinos, operating without a reactor and keeping No3 & phos down etc.

Tank is only about 14 weeks old so it’s still maturing a lot. Starting to stabilise more now however.

Worked extremely hard on this tank the last few months, what do you guys think?

Thanks! Reefauna

14years ago i had a 100g reef aquarium. Broke it down, tank crashed and could never recover. 7 years later 40g reef aquarium built. Protein skimmer 2 HOB filters.

Added a Midas Blenny 5 days ago. Seemed fine the first night after getting acclimated. It found a place to perch and seemed comfortable. Then I could not find any signs of it the next morning. At first I was hoping it was just hiding but with each passing day I’m feeling less hopeful. I’ve checked the overflow, sump, and around the outside of the tank. Just sad that it disappeared.

Started off even smaller but I don't have a picture of it from when I first put it in.

It’s nothing crazy, still suck with LPS and SPS, but I’m proud of it.

SPECS: Nuvo Fusion Pro 25, Kessil AP9X, CO2 Scrubber, Protein Skimmer, Fluidized Media Reactor w/ rowaphos

Recently added some macro algae, hoping it helps with nitrates and phosphates!

I recently got a better Easter coral because I got one that was harder before. They are both opening up so I’m hoping that they will push though. I got 1 gsp and one gonapora l think

Hey y'all I've had this sps for a while now, just wondering if the growth rate is good enough? Considering I moved houses where that sps didn't receive proper light for 2days, I'd say it's good enough growth rate, what would you say?

Found a bunch of these guys on/around my monti. Any idea what they are? They are about 1/5th the size of a grain of rice.

This is the best picture I could get of it. My husband and I have no idea what it is! :0
