Tank Build

Ok meet the Nemesis! A bangi cardinal!
He isnt scared of anything, well other than Vixens new kenyi tree he keeps attacking will take a but to get him on frozen foods instead of live...

Vixens poor kenyi tree, if nemesis kills it I will pick her up another

Nemesis looks awesome. Tank is coming along great.

I saw my first one of them 3 years ago, knew I had to get one! I finally got one!

also have a brittle starfish somewhere in there (at least hope it's a brittle star and not a serpent star)

Good news;
Both fish are now eating shrimp right off the tweezers
went mojono hunting on one of the rocks today and tried to frag some mushrooms

Bad news;
got zoa eating nudibrances, trashed the eagle eye colony that I found the one on, other colony's checked out clean.
The center 'brace' we put in to hold thew lids just fell in, hopefully the goby doesnt decide to jump

So Nemesis got all dark and died, the one at the fish shop did the same.....

Now Cherry.... he killed a hermit crab to steal its shell to decorate his cave with and I just found my missing tubs blue zoas in his cave Time to give him another handful of shells to decorate with so he leaves my zoas alone

Ok some updates for yall finally
Tank


Sump

Tubs blue zoa

Is it nippy in here zoa

Kenyi tree

Some of my fragging efforts! They are all doing well!

Various algae growths

New pics, I had added 3 nassirus snails and 10 more margarita snails and 10 more blue leg hermit crabs, they sure did a number on that algae!!!

The leather coral

The zoas

some green star polyp

and my newest acquisition; a fire lamellosa!!!!!

The fire lamellosa, doing very awesome! Super long fighting testicles on it though.


The open brain coral, this thing begs non stop and has 4 mouths so far! Only target feeding it 1-2 times a week though.

Ok got all sorts of spiffy new stuff from a buddy that's getting out of the hobby. The corals were recently put in so they are still a little pissed off and not all poofy and pretty yet.
Harlequin serpent star! He is up under the open brain coral, he moves fast!



A pink cucumber, these guys are filter feeders and he had his filters out right after I put him in the tank, happy guy so far!

A meteor shower chalice


Reverse gorilla nipples zoas



Green bay packer zoas

Favia, should color up nicely

Nuclear green palys

Radioactive dragons eyes zoas

I will get more pics once they all settle in and color up better, just so excited that I had to share!
I'm thinking about hanging the light from the ceiling and adding in 2 metal halides and running the chiller on this tank till the 120g is fully cycled, then all the stoneys will move over there and I will just do softys in this tank and they wont need the metal halides so I can move the chiller over to the 120g.

Ok I was bad.....
I got the red scooter blenny that I have been eyeballing for the past 3 weeks, he is just too darn cute! And the tank is crawling with little bugs and copepods so he will have plenty to graze on
Pics soon!

Just picked up a sail fin tang to help nibble on the bit of hair algae, I also have patches of macro algae growing in the tank and he should mow that down quick.
Picked him out of 3 that were there, he ate the best and wasn't as shy.
Hopefully he does well pics soon as he settles in!

neat can't wait for pics

He is begging! Swimming all over the tank and having a good ol time! Really glad I got him! I will take some pics tonight, too much glare on the tank right now.

so the sailfin tang has ich........ was covered last night not so bad this morning, I am going to try the garlic treatment, dont think I can pull him out of the tank without over stressing him to treat him with copper (copper in a reef is BAD) I am also going to get a cleaner shrimp or 2 for the tank so they can help get rid of it as well.

these pics I took the night I got him, haven't had a chance to get better ones

He's pretty. Glad the ich is clearing up
