Didn’t realize it had been so long since I updated this thread. This tank is thriving since the crash back in June. Many people were super kind and generous and helped me restock this bad boy, along with some trades and a few purchases. Big shout out to @NAS, @SamT125, and @shanepike, for quite a bit of what’s in here currently.
This first acro I got from @dball711 back in March has completely taken off
The newest SPS additions were picked up by Shane at the event this past weekend for me, from David’s booth: TSA Spyro the Dragon, RR Black Sabbath, and PC Superman
Shane also gave me this chunky piece of Cali tort when I picked the above 3 up from him, along with 2 zoas I need to ID still.
I also picked up this little nub of ASD Rainbow Milli the week before
I got my first meat coral, an indophyllia from Sam
Who was also kind enough to hook me up with stunning pieces of Goldenrod anacropora and blueberry stylophora
I’ve started moving some of the mushrooms out of my bedroom tank and back into this one to hopefully start propagating them and selling them again soon. The revers lava lamp disco wasn’t doing anything in my bedroom tank (while 12 other different mushrooms are growing and reproducing
) so it got moved in here. I also picked up a couple of watermelon discos from @amydrossie trading for macro algaes and other mushrooms I have. My nuclear sunset quit fragging itself for me, and this was the last one of the babies.
Zoas are actually doing great for me finally. I’m having to frag a few of them (nirvanas and fairy farts) fairly often. I’m still at a single polyp of koala eye for some reason, while the fairy farts I got at a similar time started as 3 polyps and would be around 20 so far including ones I’ve fragged off.
It won’t let me attach any more pictures, but this tank is doing surprisingly well, considering it crashed just a few months ago and almost everything that wasn’t pulled out died. You would never have thought the cyphastrea on the back wall was a white skeleton for weeks looking at it now.
I think the next thing I want to add to this tank, will be to try another fish again. I lost the poor little possum wrasse I put in here before the crash, due to the asshole Fiji blue damsel I saved from a tank breakdown the very next day after adding the wrasse. Not sure if I want to try another one of those or something like a starry blenny.
