Well added my 4th fish tonight a little earlier then expected but the water levels have remained stable and all the other fish are doing well. I've added a foxface lo which I know will probably outgrow the tank but he'll be ok for a bit plus my aim is to get a bigger tank in a year or two once I have more experience.
The corals have also been doing well and will probably add my first lps in week or 2.

So this week I've been trying some different foods including some red nori seaweed for the foxface. The foxface seems to enjoy it although I'm having a little trouble with bits breaking off and settling on the sand. Does anyone have any tips on this? I'm using the nori every other day and only using a small amount at a time.

I feed a sheet every other day to my yellow tang - soaked in VitaChem

The tank is coming along now! I've added another 3 corals to the tank a flower pot coral. Sun coral and my first sps frag of a monti. The bad news is the cyano.has returned today a day after doing a water change which leads me to believe the issue maybe with the ro water I've been getting from my Lfs. Anyway I pick my ro di unit.up next week so this should help things along.

So it's been a while since my last update but now the tank is really coming along. I have changed a few things on my RSM C-250 including removing all the sponge filters and carbon from my reef tank on the recommendation from my LFS. I'm still not sure if this is the right thing to do but I will give it a go and keep and eye on all the parameters. I will be adding some chemipure elite and some filter wool to the filter tower supplied with the aquarium. One thing I have added is the tunze ATO system which has improved my skimmer efficiency.

I used the sponges for months, but recently took them out. My water seems to be doing better, but I did a bunch of things so not sure that mattered. One less thing to clean, though.
I run two chemi pure elite, a purigen, and right now phosnet (which is probably overkill) as well as some filter floss.
Anyway, sharp looking tank and cool coral selection. Good to see it clicking along.
