As your nitrites are 0, I'd start with a clean-up crew, and wait until the diatoms disipate to add fish.

Wolfgang8810 · 07-16-2008, 09:20 AM

My LFS recommended an urchin what do you guys say?

Just ordered a koralia 3 and 4. Woot this is starting to look good :-)

SeahorseBT · 07-17-2008, 01:32 AM

Sounds good to me^^

Wolfgang8810 · 07-17-2008, 03:57 AM

Thanks Blake! I just want these diatoms to be gone! Ill be getting the CUC when they get their packages in. They get them once a month. ( i think) But the Koralias should really help too My return pump os a Quiet one 6000 which does about 1500 galons/hour so with the additions of the koralias i will have ~ 2400GPH! I will probaly be adding a phosban reactor too because i HATE algae. This is comming along nicley. Ill post a picture tomorrow in its full brown glory.

Wolfgang8810 · 07-18-2008, 01:44 AM

I Just ordered my fish and they will be sitting at the LFS for atleast 6 weeks so i can observe them before purchase. Here are the pics of my centerpiece fishies. When i do add coral it will be mostly shrooms and zoes. My lights arent up to par for any SPS or LPS (besides sun coral)

A yellow tang is required by my father but i may add a purple tang too :-)

A male Blue throat trigger fish (reef safe)

And a female blue jaw triggerfish (reef safe)

SoccerBum474 · 07-18-2008, 01:52 AM

nice looking fish you picked....i cant wait to see this all come together..

Wolfgang8810 · 07-18-2008, 01:56 AM

neither can I! But none the less i will be patient! :-) the triggers will be the last additions, the tang(s) will be before the triggers, and whateverother fish i decide to add will be before that, Probally a pair of clowns. and that should be about all the sish i add. i dont want to overstock.

Wolfgang8810 · 07-19-2008, 08:25 PM

I threw my first coral in. It is a silver red sea xenia :-)

SoccerBum474 · 07-21-2008, 12:14 PM

Wolfgang8810 · 07-23-2008, 03:47 AM

Wolfgang8810 · 07-24-2008, 07:10 PM
