Ryan's 120 Oceanic Reef: Right By Da Beach Boyeeee

Finally got a good picture of Randy! He's a fatty ain't he? I have no idea what he eats he comes out of the hole away from his pistol mate but rarely so I see him actively consuming my frozen foods..

Thank u she is doing absolutely fantastic I think I really lucked out on the perfect specimen. She has been in my tank for 11 days now. Goes to bed at the same time every night at 1030. Eats like a pig and still a juvenile so she isn't set in her ways and hopfully adapts well to aquarium life!

So I put this little a**hole in my Refugium, by some miracle he fit through the bubble trap (really don't know how, that shell is a very large turbo snail shell he acquired) moved into the return compartment and I caught him playing cliffhanger on my ATS!! Lol thought it was funny..

Jacki chan and yoko kitty doing their nightly love swim together. Sorry for all the blues but they do the dirty together unless the lights are off. Didn't catch them in this video but I have caught them about once a week getting down

Hey guys!! So it's been almost a month I think since I got my potters wrasse (Sharon)!!!! She is so fat I think her belly will explode if I feed anymore so I decided to back down on the feeding to every other day! Fingers still crossed to make her past that two month mark!! Here are some pics and a video!

Hey guys I upgraded my sump/Refugium. The IM Skye light I was using to grow macro was just not enough power to get adequate macro growth so I took the 12 inch Chinese led panel from my ten gallon (it was too bright for that tank anyway) and put it above my Refugium for ultimate power!! I then took the additional IM Skye light and put it on the non illuminated side of my ats to get light on both sides of the ats.. I AM FINALLY SEEING GREEN ALGAE GROWTH ON THE ATS THANK THE LORD. Here are some pics.

O and I made a top!! Aaron wanted to get another trigger so we got a sargassum trigger, his name is Dennis. No more jumping out of my tank. I just went the lazy route and since my roomate was paying he got the brs diy net top kit.. Man it was a pain in the but to have it done right but I got it done!! If anyone needs any netting I have some extra! For some reason they have me enough netting to make like 30 of these things..

What do u guys think about how I completely packed my sump with rock? I kept removing rock from the DT and didn't want to lose the extra filter and before I knew it my entire sump was filled to the brim with live rock. I know it will trap detritus but besides that can u guys think of any reasons why I shouldn't be keeping as much rock as possible in my sump??

Many big systems run with large amounts of LR in a sump or even remote sumps.... i know a guy who has arouns 500lbs of LR in his sump but also placed a 3in base of eggcrate so the detritus would go to the floor. This was so when he did water changes he then switches the flow from to supplying the DT to flowing into the remote sump with LR that has a bulkhead at the 3in base where the eggcrate is...wich creates a vaccum empting into his basement drain.

But yea i dont see negatives if maintained.
So whens the sargasum doing a photoshoot?

So after seeing @porkchopexpress new plate last night, I got jealous and woke up on a mission to pick up a plate. Of course I was unable to find anything that remotely resembles that coolness factor I did pick up this sweet little guy. He has a yellow mouth, orange rim and a green and purple splattered body. Excuse the poor pics that are in blue. Once it gets acclimated to the tank I will try and take some better pics. Picked it up for a smooth 40 and I'm pretty happy about the purchase. Question, does anyone know if plates can change colors with age? I would love to see this plates colors get more pronounced and distinct from eachother!!
