Hey fellow reef enthusiasts! I'm Nico, and I'm thrilled to share my 10-month-long adventure with my pride and joy – my thriving reef tank. Buckle up, because it's been quite the journey with its highs, lows, and everything in between!

Tank Details:
  • Tank: Reef Casa 24G Studio
  • Additional Tank: Red Sea 90 (Regrettable purchase due to light level issues)
  • Livestock: 2x Designer Clownfish, 1x Watchman Gobi
  • Coral Galore: Utter Chaos, Utter Peace, Hawaiian, Pink Constellation Zoas, Orange Blue Rim Ricordea Florida Mushroom, Fire and Ice Discosoma Mushroom, Leopard Discosoma Mushroom
  • Anemones: 1x Rock Flower, 1x Rainbow BTA, 1x Black Widow BTA (latest addition, eagerly waiting for its colors to pop)

Equipment Arsenal:
  • Ecotech MP10 with Nem guard
  • Ecotech Battery Backup
  • Tunze Skimmer 9001 DC
  • Tunze Auto Top Off
  • Trigger Systems Crystal ATO 10 Gallon Reservoir

The Rollercoaster of Challenges:
  1. Rockwork Redo: Not once, but twice! First, due to a broken original setup, and the second time, because love at first sight is a real thing for reef enthusiasts.
  2. Lost Friends: A Helfrichi Firefish bid farewell under mysterious circumstances, possibly a salinity misadventure. Lesson learned!
  3. Wrasslemania: A 6-line wrasse turned into a 6-line devil, leading to eviction after a series of fish attacks. Peace restored!
  4. Crabby Business: A green emerald crab went rogue, munching on spellbinders and decimating Pink Constellation Zoas. Banished to the sump, but those Zoas are making a triumphant comeback!
Despite the hiccups, every challenge has been a lesson learned and a step forward in perfecting this underwater paradise. I am excited to meet everyone here!
