Looks great, what do you use for Calcium suplementation. Also, how long have you had that Goni? Mine is receding at a textbook rate :sad: Do you feed it regularly and if so what with and how much?

If you can remove some without disturbing too many rocks or sand, you should. You should be doing very regular water changes at this stage of the cycle so that would be a good opportunity.

You have a majano anemone (do a google search) in the centre right of that photo. They are nasty. Peppermint shrimp will eat babies but at that size, wont touch it. They are easier to remove manually than aptasia so you just take the rock out and chisel it off. A very invasive species...

You are certainly committed! I 'spose that's why your tank looks so amazing!

The best sun coral I have ever seen. How much and often do you target feed?

Wow,,, Do me one favor. Have a read about the symbyotic relationship between corals and zoanthellae bacteria. This is the main method that corals get food The bacteria rely on photosynthesis to reproduce and in turn, feed the corals. Corals need strong light. And if they don't have...

How old is your system? That looks bad, you need to take all of that out and scub it off.

I collect my own fish and inverts but not corals. All the corals in this tank are frags from my other tank. There are no mushies in these rockpools and I don't think these zoas would survive in a tank as they are used to full on sunlight in only 3cms of water They are a cool colour,tho'...

update I ended up using crushed coral so I could brighten up the tank. I am only using 2 15w T8's so I think this will help. And I thought I'd throw in a few pics of the coastline and rock pools in my area of Australia

I have also had success with rain water that is collected directly into a bucket, not off the roof. I only use this water if I have put the bucket out at least 20mins after it has been raining. I don't use RO cause I don't want to fork out for the unit, plus I have 22gal that is cooled using...

You can also get nylon hinges, the type that are used on injection moulded coolers. Not sure on the best place to get them but they will probably be a better option than stainless.

Sorry to break the news, but an anemone would be a really bad idea as they are extremely hard to keep healthy, long term. Most people think that it's possible but in reality, they just take a really long time to die. 2 clown fish,, NO WAY> that size system is really not suitable for any...
