Scurvy’s Mad Wrasse 110

[Scurvy]

Well we hit that magic number of 300 last night so first 3 corals in the tank. Seem to be adjusting well. They’ll look decent on a phone or tablet but not so much on a PC. Wont be a ton of LPS going in but there will be a fee assuming they can handle the flow. Torch likes it, not sure yet with the Duncan amd Frogspawn.

Also fired up the carbon reactor. Tank never quite cleared after adding the mud to the fuge. Been running less than an hour its much less hazy looking ready.

Torches LOVE flow, I saw a video somewhere of some mariculture torches getting absolutely pounded with flow and they were loving it. Frogspawn and duncans can handle more than you think but not like the torch. The duncans will get longer tentacles in higher flow. Almost like what an elegance coral looks like.

I saw that video I think. Whipping flow.
We’ll see how they do. Neither look Teribly unhappy. Im used to seeing them in a tank with much less movement so i need to adjust expectations too.

Oh, I finally turned on the auto feeder in the sump too. Fish are happy and I like how the pellets naturally get shot through the tank. Makes the fish react more naturally IMO.

I've thought of this... is that the Neptune feeder?

Tank looks amazing! I want to put my AFS in my sump, but that requires me getting rid of my manifold. That’s not a task I want to deal with... yet! Haha

It is. Its loud but effective. Would probably go with the eheim if I needed to buy again.

Thx!! I hear that, Messing with plumbing is always a chore I look to avoid.

Im really enjoying all the Wrasse. So much action in there. Looks like fun! About ready to add another couple before we move in the clowns, Tang and other odd balls.

Nice, I really am thrilled with setup! What’s your lead time? Took mine longer than expected but it worked out for me in the end.

 

[raultsu]

My lead time is 6-8 weeks. Hopefully I'll have by February

When you finally sit down and spend 30 minutes typing up a for sale thread on your used equipment only to have the Ipad freeze before you get to post!!

Potty mouth.
