New Reef Build

[Lepisosteus]

Sorry for the delay. Was waiting on the lights which got stuck in delivery. They arrived this morning. Still needs to clear up as I just stirred everything up again.

What still needs to be done:
-add 30 lbs more of live rock
-create apex display cabinet and install apex
-add the 3rd radion (need another RMS)
-Hide all wires by adding some extension cables

That looks killer. Once coral grows in it will be on another level

Can’t wait to get some fish and coral in there. Will be another 1-2 weeks

Little update. Added 50lbs more of live rock. I am not finished with the scape but it will be left as is until i rehome a few fish I was given. I don’t plan to keep them as they are not reef safe, they were rescues. Still need to make the apex and Ecotech display. The controller mounts pictured are all 3D printed in apex orange. Still looking for a 3rd Ecotech RMS Mount for the last g4 pro radion. Current stock in the tank is:
Mandarin
Blenny
Emperor angelfish (rehoming)
Foxface rabbitfish
Picasso trigger (rehoming)

I will be given 5 clownfish, a purple tang, a damsel, and a coral beauty angelfish as well. The coral beauty and the damsel will likely be rehomed. Again, they are rescues.

Do you have a copepod buildup for the mandarin?

I have seen numerous mandarin that were pellet trained. It will be interesting to see what this one feeds on.

Wow

its eating mysis

Bingo.

I don't know why some people are surprised to read that a mandarin is eating frozen. I have lost count how many pellet eating manadrins I have seen over the years.
