What are some positives you can say about your tank right now?

[Gumbies R Us]

I feel like a lot of times we focus on the negative aspect of our tank, maybe a coral not doing well or am algae outbreak, but what about the positives? I want to know what are some positives going on with your tank right now? Maybe you got a new fish that is doing great or are just happy with how your tank looks. Curious to know everyone's thoughts

GSP taking over has stopped me from buying any other coral..... I guess that's a positive.

Nothing appeared dead when I left this morning for work.

Some coral are turning around, and my oldest tank is starting to look nice again. I'm kinda at that, "what's next?" phase where I decide to downgrade, or upgrade.

Best I can say is:
Almost no effort other than water changes and everything seems to be doing well.

I like the, "nothing dead" comment -- same here,,, nothing dead in a long time,,, until I found an empty trochus snail shell the other day. Oh well...

They haven’t gone belly up yet which is good

Fish are fat, active, none of them hide when I approach the tank. Sand a bright white and algae is minimal.

29 gal with HOB filters. The tank was a housewarming present, decided to give saltwater a try. Was pretty nervous about that- was under the impression for the longest time that salt was 'nearly impossible, for experienceds only'.

Now I am looking around with hopes of upgrading to a system with sump. With far more confidence than I had with the mentioned tank.

Discovered a love for banggai cardinals. Pretty much the 'perfect fish' for me. I'll always have them.

Discovered a love for corals, particularly LPS corals. That was a bit unexpected. Was thinking 'sure, a couple corals would be nice'. Now with the hunt for a new setup, I'm absolutely thinking 'room! space! potential arrangements!' for corals when looking at tanks. I'm finding that to be a delightful aspect of the hunt. An aside- sort of thinking of converting the 29 gal to a softie focused tank.. the set up works, but is a bit limiting as for LPS. Having a couple nice thoughts about which softies to get.

Great question, by the way.

GHA is finally starting to go away

 

[Northern Flicker]

My snails are constantly orgasming, that's gotta be good, right?

On a more serious note, my solo Clown started hosting my BTA and it just makes me feel so much better. For a couple months, it was mostly just hanging out in the front corner, seeming kind of depressed and lethargic. Now that it's hosting, it's full of energy and gumption!



Great thread @Gumbies R Us

You have a picture of it?

my tank somehow managed to acclimate itself to NSW water parameters with little to no die off. ALK 6.8, CAL, 400ish, MAG is actually super high 1600+, SG 1.025-6, tempt 77-78. i'm worried about the new additions from RAP.

also hooked up my adaptive reef board to hide my nest of wires. just gotta tidy it up more before its fully complete.

Ill post one for you tomorrow. Its in the office tank

I am glad that my tank is stable (knock on wood), I know I have a high nitrate and phosphate but so far no green algae growing anywhere. Cleaning the glass once a week. I am happy that my corals (soft) are growing well and fish are fat and healthy (maybe?).
