Mine does, although he pecks around the stylophora skeleton in my tank (thanks to my majestic).
Hrmm... I love my trachy and lobo a LOT. Would like a clam, but currently there seems to be a clam killer on the loose (or my water is trash). But I do really like the flamebacks... That said, I've also been on the lookout for a severnsi and a few fairies...

Do you have any trachyphyllia? Angels can't seem to resist
I avoid Trachys like the plague in my 5’ tank.

My nano however I do tempt and play with the idea of Trachys.

Explanation of my feeding system:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally happening! I am merging my office IM Nuvo 10g and home Fluval Evo 13.5g into a new Office IM Nuvo 40L AIO!
1676189632727.png


This was a long and hard decision. I waffled between the SR60, the SR80, the 112INT and even the SR120, because I dream of having tangs. And most recently with the massive sale on EXTs, I did an in depth cost/benefit analysis of the 40L EXT. In the end the 40L AIO and the 40L EXT were about the right size for my office and with a budget I could swallow. So why the AIO instead of the EXT? Well, the idea of having sump flexibility really appealed to me, but all things considered, I thought that the AIO had the better safety features with the emergency overflow and pumps within the same circular system--and safety is paramount to me keeping a tank in my office! One major spill, and it will be O-U-T out!


Space reserved for more build details:
  • Tank: Innovative Marine Nuvo 40L AIO
  • Stand: Innovative Marine black APS stand
  • Light: 3x Noopsyche K7 Mini
  • Pump: 2x MightyJet 538gph DC return pumps
  • Powerhead: Maxspect xf330 gyre pump
  • ATO: IM TI Hydrofill + 5g carboy
  • Skimmer: NuvoSkim mid-size skimmer None
  • Filtration: IM Custom Caddy w/floss + carbon + phosguard if necssary; Intank floss holder
  • Heater/fans: IM Helio 200W titanium heater/controller as primary wih Finnex 300W titanium element + USB fans connected via Inkbird as failsafe
  • Rocks: 40lb old school rock from Fiji and Marshall Islands (pics below, this stuff is super light and porous, not heavy solid bricks!) seeded with rock rubble from Tampa Bay Saltwater (from my IM 10g AIO chambers) + all of the TBS rocks in my Office IM Nuvo 10g
  • Sand: Aragonite special grade + seeded with Fiji Mud
  • Automation: Reef Factory dosing pump for All-For-Reef; Mini fridge + Reef Factory dosing pumps for Reef Nutrition liquid food
  • RODI system: RODI buddy
  • Salt: Fritz blue box

More details to follow

For now, here is the visual representation of my buid plan:

1679986999497.png


It will include a mini fridge with dosing pumps for automatic Reef Nutrition liquid food feeding (no more weekend fasting for my fishies/inverts). Will continue with dosing AFR. I opted against an AWC system since there is too much risk of overflow in an office setting. If there is a failure in the ATO, it should not be enough to overflow the tank, but if it does, then the overflow will first go into a galvanized steel pan under the tank, which should hold 4 gallons before spilling onto the office carpet.


And of course, my stocking plan:

Never met an angel that says no to those fleshy trachy. Once they eye it... they sneak a nip here and there and it's a choice, fish or trachy

Lobo, trachy and button scoly. Also had aspirations for a cynarina and an acantho one day after upgrading... But angels so purty!

@Miami Reef ‘s corals are so tasty I think every fish eats them
Don’t knock ‘em till you try ‘em.

I haven’t had this success until I got rid of each fish that started eating them.
