I was wondering what you guys think about using a mud in your sump? As I have been looking and talking to some customers at work who say it is a good way to have a refugium setup but wanted to see if anyone on here had done it?

Thanks will have a read later. On a sad note I think my cleaner wrasse is on the way out and most likely won't survive the night. Think he had some kind of parasite as he wasn't swimming properly and his back was curved sadly he did show improvement after adding some anti bacterial medication but might have been to much for him but will let you know the outcome tomorrow morning.

Well as I thought my cleaner wrasse died this morning so as for now I'm not going to add anymore fish for a while and just focus on my corals and remaining fish which are all the original ones from my old tank.

Sorry to hear that.
How many fish do you have left in the tank?

Well I have set up my refugium now as today I picked up some chaeto and installed my baffle and my Kessil H80 Tuna Flora light and also found a use for the skimmer stand I bought as it raised my skimmer way to high up so now it is a chaeto stand [emoji23]

So today I started dosing the BioReef Kit supplements so will keep you guys updated on that and went out and picked up quite a few coral frags which I'm really excited about so I got a mixture of what I believe are acropora, montopora, birds nest and a leather as they weren't all labelled but from the pictures below if you know what they exactly please let me know hahaha.

Also I currently have them all on the top of my rock work so in full light and in the centre of my tank near the main return so high flow hope that is right from what I have read if not any suggestions on flow and placement welcome [emoji4]

Yeah not the best pictures I know but will get my camera out and take some proper pictures of the tank and all the coral at some point. I thought a chalice but not sure what the 3rd is as I have a. It's nest in the tank and they look completely different to each other but shall see one they adjust properly and colour up.

Picked up a large 7 head green torch coral today which looks cool. I have also noticed that my filter socks don't seem to do a good job in catching particles in them as my sump has a lot of muck at the bottom of it but what the do well is make a home for many types of small shrimps I think and rather large copepods haha.

Hahaha that might be true but have to say this is the best I have ever got my tank. As I always used to see all these fancy tanks with coral everywhere and thought I would love something like this and now I'm starting to get it so happy right now but I'm sure the fish will be fine [emoji23]
