JB's Reefer 250 Coral Salad with Sushi

[Jeffcb]

Went a little nutz last night on WWC Cyber Monday online sale. Got a 23 frag holder in the mail today. Thats a good thing because I bought 17 frags last night. Hope my tank doesn't blow a gasket. They should be here Friday.

 

[ScubaEthan]

Fun! Those are awesome. Can't wait to see them in your tank!

 

[Jeffcb]

Every thing got here today from WWC Cyber Monday sale and is in. 17 including 4 peice mystery pack! Even got a bottle of WWC Hot Sauce. 21 day light acclimation starting at 50%. See how they do and I will start to place them.

Looking good and seems to be running well for you. I am cycling the same tank right now. Almost feel like I should start a build thread. Lol keep up the good work man.

Do it ! Its a fun thing to do and track progress. I have gotten a lot of ideas from other peoples build threads.

If you like the forum you may want to become a Supporter. I think its 25 bucks a year but it give you a lot more versatility with the forum.

Here the link to create a build thread. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/y...is-now-a-link-everyones-badge-is-gone.641789/

How'd you set up your refugium? and where is your return ?

The return is past the skimmer box. Basically a square with 4 compartments flowing counter clockwise. Return sock box , Fug box, Skimmer box and return pump box.

I got 17 frags from the WWC sale and a few more from here and there. A couple didn'tmake it but most look good. WWC was good about the few I lost and credited me.

Glued them to the rock yesterday.
Lights are on day 34 of 60 and at 73%.

I'm sure I am going to fast. Thats just me. I have been meticulous with maintenance. Parameters look good.

 

[Jeffcb]

Slight odor. Parameters all good. Putting the Ehiem with a Chemi Pure and carbon back on line for 2 weeks.

 

[Jeffcb]

Not sure if this was a good idea or not. I heve a female Flameback and added a smaller male. She has been pestering him for 3 days now. He is eating but she keeps him at one side of the tank. She does not seem to be hurting him, just alot of chasing. Any ideas @OrionN

 

[OrionN]

I do think that the larger female will not tolerate smaller male. I think they will both change sex, and will be fine if he live through it.
If you can remove him and add a smaller female instead of a male.

Looking great!

@Jeffcb101 another thing that you might try is a social acclimation cage. I think Eshopps makes a magnetized one you might do a Google search which distributors sell them. That way you could do a really long term acclimation and keep your fish safe while knowing when your fish are done changing.

 

[Jeffcb]

Update on baby boy. She has clipped his tail quite abit but is letting him out of the corner to swim the tank more. He's eating well. Hope he makes it.

Added a green Lobophylila.

Clear View lid arrived today. I guess it took about 2 months. Tank is in the living room so it needs to look good. The Red Sea dyi worked but kind of sloppy looking.
