Seth's 120g Reef...

[sethsolomon]

So I just realized that the "Ornate Leopard wrasse" I have is actually a male regular leopard wrasse. So I now have a pair of leopard wrasses

 

[sethsolomon]

Pulled out the mata tang and clown goby and now all my fish are a ton happier! Slowly getting the cyano problem under control. Now getting in the market for a trio of flame wrasses.

Its been a long time since I updated this.

So I have been extremely fascinated with starfish lately and have awesome luck so far. Blue Linckia was added about march 11th ballpark. Added a red feather star 2-3 weeks ago, and yesterday picked up a marble fromia star. Also was worried about my mandarin pair sitting in my fish system so I decided to move them to my 120. And added a powder blue tang (We will see how this goes).

Where are all the other pics?

Wow that feather star is a beaut. What are you feeding it? Hope you manage to keep him happy for a long time, most of what I have seen about them online is that they are very difficult to keep long term

 

[MuralReef]

I agree feather star is pretty cool. Looks good I just want to see more!

So for feeding it I have several things on dosing pumps, home grown blend of phyto (Nano and Iso), Fuel for amenos, Reef snow (Haven't noticed much difference with this), and about a tbs of rotifers a day.

How's the tank doing Seth?

 

[sethsolomon]

Its doing well. Still trying to home in my calcium reactor. Accidently killed one of my acro colonies and a scolly.

 

[sethsolomon]

Also, working on building a new hood for it so I can put 400w halides above it. Anyone have any workhorse t5ho 4ft retro kits? I am going to shift to halide t5 and led.

 

[sethsolomon]

So I have not had a real update in about 8 months.

So new wrasse added to the tank about a month ago. Added a Anapmese wrasse (China Wrasse).

Replaced my aqua medic calcium reactor with my old lifereef with new pumps.

Homed in my calcium reactor properly for the first time. Over the past 2 weeks my alk has only droped 0.4 DKH so the water changes should refresh this tiny drop.

Its been too cold to work on my new hood but all thats left is to afix the trim and hinges and handing hardware and paint it.

The new lights are going to be some Lumen Bright Larges single ended reflectors with 20k radiums and Lumenarc select-a-watt 250-400 HQI ballasts purchased from Vince at GWA. THANKS VINCE!

I am still looking for the right T5HO retro for the tank. Can't decide between 2, 4, 6, or 8 T5's to supplement.

So PICTURES!!!

Here is a picture of an anapsesse wrasse courtesy of the internet. Mine does not like to hold still.

The tank is looking good and that wrasse is pretty sweet.
