Great UPdate Josh! I'm with Dom in thinking WE NEED A PICTURE to go with it. :D
I want to see your new Zoas...If you have time for 15gal WCs every week, you have time to take pictures ;)

I pushed the zoas up to the other rock hoping they will grow up, good idea or bad idea? The ones on the back side don't get much light now I hope that's ok too..

YAY for PICTURES :yehoo:
You won't get any complaints from me, ipad pictures are my only ones too ;)
Your rockscape looks good! You have room for MORE too :yup: too bad you are so far away, I could help you out there. :D Those Zoas look like they are fast growers & should spread onto your other rock.
You'll have to let us know how that goes. Like another UPdate before too long :thumbup:

I'm trying for an update every week. Getting a star fish this week (always wanted one). Then I'm going to look into some new coral to start filling it up more. I'm really taking my time now and not rushing anything. I don't want to stock it just to have to remove down the road. My ric is still doing really bad, it's alive but almost gone... Not sure what todo. I've moved it around to every spot possible

For some reason (that I don't understand) rics & mushrooms don't thrive in my tank :(
I've always heard they spread fast but mine haven't. Acans do better for me & I like them.
Look forward to seeing what you get. :D

:woohoo: wicked pics mate :)

It's grouse to see your tank again and even better seeing that it's looking so good :yup:
The zoa's will do fine like that and they'll start to grow everywhere once they're settled and happy, definitely a good thing :) Don't worry too much about the ric, we all have corals that don't thrive. Acans don't much like my tank nor do mushrooms really, so just grow what does love the tank or adjust slightly for other corals :)
What sort of starfish are you looking to get? And it would be awesome seeing a Ince a week update or check in even :) It's always good seeing your posts :)

Figured an update on water change day would be fitting.



Tank is doing great still, I decided today to move my ric again and hope to see something happen because it's almost done for in its current spot..(fingers crossed).


Today was the big wc day, big because it was not just my reg 20gal wc but I decided to go all out!..

I cleaned my black filters (I know most don't have) I do this every 3 weeks or so. I also took my skimmer out fully and gave that a good cleaning also. Cleaned off the rocks and really put that toothbrush to work lol. I also put in 2 new CPE, and also a new thing of purging.


Fish are happy and coral is doing great. Still thinking about a star fish but going to wait it out a bit longer I think.


Hope everyone is doing well !

Oh I'm also thinking about a new tank and selling this one, I like the idea of being able to build my own from parts I want. I also want a 120 -180 gal.
Just been a though but still trying to price stuff out.

Glad you still think about checking in from time to time :time:
So, you think you have room for & want a BIGGER TANK? That must mean your RSM 250 is FULL??
