JB's Reefer 250 Coral Salad with Sushi

[Jeffcb]

My Clownfish don't have an Anemone so the live in the Gonipora. The Goni doesn't seem to mind.

Gatorade Zoas grow slow, but they do grow. Started with 4 polyps.

Lobo and Favia

Ricordea finally split into 4

On my first post of the first page of this build thread there is a progression time line that I edit and update. Last FTS was last month. I will take more soon.

Phosphate was at 0.18. One Chemi Pure Elite in a filter basket took it down to 0.05 in 7 days. Amazing

Time to remove the Chemi Pure. Ill use it on the fowlr tank.

Brown dust algae on sand bed is gone.

Needed more fish.

Added a Lemon Wrasse (hope its reef safe), a Lawnmower Blenny and another Fire Fish.

 

[Jeffcb]

Lemon Wrasse was gone after about 3 days. Never saw him again. Additional Fire fish to the 1 I had and Lawnmower are doing well.

I have several dozen Asterina Stars so I added a Harlequin shrimp. Hopefully I can get some pics of the Harlequin eating some stars.

Also added 2 tank raised Pajama Cardinals. Unfortunately 1 of the PJ Cardinals is no were to be found now.

New Fire fish and Lawnmower Blenny Doing well.

Never give up. This was a 23 dollar coral that was goin to be a warranty claim with WWC because it look DOA.

They suggested waiting another week. Its now 18 months later.

This Scolymia is slowly getting healthier after a couple of Iodine dips and lots of Mysis shrimp.

Hey @AquaBen glad to know this. I have a RSR 250 thread you can check out/note take as well. Let us know when you have a build thread on this tank.

Fellow San Antonian! Here is how to start a Build Thread.

So you want a BUILD THREAD CONTRIBUTOR badge???

Well, here's the way to get one! STEP 1: Start a build thread in one of our member tank forums (CLICK HERE). *Btw, it doesn't have to be a new tank. It doesn't matter if your tank has been up for 40+ years, we would still love for you to start a build thread/tank journal where we can follow...

I added a Harlequin Shrimp a couple of weeks ago. I rarely see it but he does have plenty to eat. Can not get a good pic of it.

Asterina population does seem to be dropping. dozens and dozens of them.
