My first Waterbox!

Well... I made a big mistake. I got a purple tang and yellow tang. They constantly fought with my  emperor angel. Well to say the least I found my angle and purple tang dead this morning. The yellow tang seems beat up but is still alive. I’m hoping that the stress would not get him sick but we will see. Those were the last fish I wanted to add to the tank so then I could just leave it all to grow. Well I’m dumb. Ugh $300 in fish gone in one night so that’s fun. Won’t be adding anything any time soon.

Bummer.  I used a mirror to keep my yellow busy when I put it in a 90 with my Kole tang. It took a few weeks but worked. Good luck when you get ready to add again!

As many of you know my son was in the hospital for awhile so my tank went a little neglected. During that time my naso tang died. Not sure why but that sucked. Here are some updates and some pictures. New additions from @crimsonvice, @RangerSharp, and @Dr.Fraggenstien. Some of the corals are going into my sons tank and some are staying in mine till they grow out. Also some I have bought. Found a guy that sold me 21 sps frags for an amazing price that I couldn’t pass up. I also added an engineer goby! I have wanted one for a long time but I haven’t been able to find one till Saturday! Hope you all enjoy the pictures. PS I think the pink one looks like the rock on symbol lol!

I upped the flow, moved my pumps and added a bag of carbon. I blew off the stuff on the rocks and scraped it off the glass. I feed 2 times a day both small amounts instead of one large. I got 30 more snails and 20 more hermit crabs. Most of my algae issues started when my son was in the hospital. I only have a little bit of it left.

I guess it did, looks great!  Planning anything special to feed it?

I picked up a frozen pack of reef plankton and I also raise live baby brine shrimp so I’m hoping that will work. I also feed reef roids and Red Sea AB+ every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Lol I feel that out of all that it should feed well...I hope lol

Tank is looking beautiful!   I do love these tanks.     Do you pretty much follow the instructions to hatch the bbs?  

Thank you, Haha I actually don’t follow any directions. I have a Gatorade bottle that I made a hatchery.  I just fill it with tank water and then pour in some eggs. Then I turn on the air stone and make it just enough to keep the water moving around and the eggs off the bottom. 58D832C0-9EF7-4290-8037-34DCF637371B.thumb.jpeg.0982eb7e622253fb4e7b5f8f7a162a03.jpeg
