Can’t go wrong with orange in the tank. Let me know what mushroom it is when you find out as may put some in my reef. It’s my sons favourite colour hence me putting 5 blue eyed Lyretail Anthias in on Friday. I’m getting a red line wrasse

It’s a great predicament to be in haha. Corals look great, are they a mushroom and ricordea? I’ve not got them yet, just waiting to find the right ones Let the fun begin, oh plus the nagging from the other half haha. I was refunded £20 from a fish store yesterday as they had a free shipping...

The cleaner wrasse has already cleaned my foxface and trigger

Some pics of the new corals and fish

So it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve added some fish. That’s just changed. I wanted some schooling fish as imo it’s not a reef without some fish schooling together. So I bought: 5x Blue Eye Lyretail Anthias 1x Yellow Tail Tamarin Wrasse 1x Blue Streak Cleaner Wrasse 1x Red Fin Lawnmower Blenny -...

Let’s hope he stays a model citizen lol. My tank is 1000 litres and 6.9 feet (2.1m) so hopefully that will help

Cheers, I’m a bad ‘overfiller’ too and this is my first saltwater tank so I need to be strong. I’m just loving corals right now as they make the reef come alive. I have a hawkish and he’s awesome. He’s never touched my shrimps or snails.

I bought mine from my LFS who brought them round and help me instal them. Here are pics

sorry meant UK plug sockets haha The only equipment I have in my reef are the 4 MP40s. I didn't want any nor any wires in my tank. I've even tired to hide the external wires of the MP40s under my tank pelmet. Happy to send a pic if that'll help.

I’m from the UK and have 4 MP40s on my 200 gallon (the glass was too thick for the MP10s). I didn’t need an adapter as you can buy them ready for UK plug suckers

It looks like a brown one which isn't that appealing so I'll monitor it and if needs be I'll give it to my LFS as a thank you. They can then sell it onto someone else who will love it. I need to be picky when it comes to Montis because like you say they cause shade so if I was going to get one I...

So my new coral frags arrived today and have just added them. I will add pics once they're out and happy. The mailorder company even gave me a free frag but didn't tell me what it was haha. I believe it maybe my first SPS, a Montipora Capricornis. I'll get pics of it up ASAP so you guys can...

Well there you go, I never knew that. My PH has remained constant between 7.8 - 8.0 I agree, that would be the best thing to do. Then the shopping can begin lol. I hope to be getting more fish on Friday and have some corals arriving tomorrow.

Are you dosing sodium bicarbonate? I didn’t know that counter acts the effect of nitrite. I know it can help PH and raise Alk. LFS are dangerous places to go, especially during the cycle or when waiting for your bacteria to catch up with the last purchases haha

Good idea, nothing is worth rushing in this hobby. I think I waited 2 months before getting my elegance. It’s an expensive rush of blood plus no one wants to kill something or make it suffer. When did the tank start it’s cycle?

It’ll look great there. Mine’s tucked in a corner. It’s the first thing you see when you come into the room. I’m sure people can see it outside when they walk past my window haha. I was told they can eat small fish so I always get nervous when my clowns get too close.

One of my favourite, give it plenty of room, mine is massive and I was surprised how much it opens/spreads when out of the LFS tank and comfortable in your own. Both that and the Heliofungia surprised me.

Looking great. I do love the look of the white rock. I guess it’ll go purple when Coraline kicks in.

I think my Platy is happy...
