PSU’s Peninsula

[PSU4ME]

Well long time since I’ve updated but the tank is just now coming around to where I think it’s settling out. Been through some uglies, brown hair Algae, then some dinos cape because the nutrients are zero. Trying to bring the alk down now. Have a bunch of corals coming in this week and the 5 wrasses in QT will be ready next week as well!

Just added my battle box today, man I forgot how long it takes to properly intake new frags!

Also got my new par meter and g5 diffusers in. Now I know how the lighting system is performing.

Time to start adding corals!

Tank is progressing nicely. What's a battle box?

 

[PSU4ME]

That would be a box of frags from battle corals!

 

[Blue Space]

any pics of the new battle corals?

Did a full rip clean on my tank, rebuilt it with KP aquatics live rock.

Got my first 4 sps frags in the tank since the latest redo...... so far they are alive! Sorry for the blues.

Somebody say, blue...

Nice sps there!

Looks like a stylo, a mili, some type of green acro and not sure what's in the back.

So JF solar flare, ice and fire, myagi and a Hawkins. Had to go get some old schoolers!

Going to pick up so phyto and rotifers today that I’m planning to add to the tank. 3 16oz phyto, 2 16oz rotifers.

Does anyone else dose these? Feel there is a big benefit to be had? For me, I’m looking to build up a good population of the little pods and rotifers to hopefully keep bad algae away. Fingers crossed but my rock swap has been successful to date!

I could see dosing rotifers if they were readily available, natural fauna is tough to argue against.

Some pics after the WC today

Got one coral responding to the new setup favorably! Hate this sideways upload - @Travis - this a setting we can change/update?

 

[PSU4ME]

New sump is in!

 

[Blue Space]

sweet!

 

[Blue Space]

You have water in it yet?

 

[PSU4ME]

No water yet, plumbing it isn’t straight forward so deciding a plan,

Get these in today from Battlecorals

 

[Blue Space]

those look great! I'm going to need to break down and place an order with them some day.
