Welcome! That's an awesome tank. I used to have one with similar dimensions and the space was perfect.

I really need to realize that I cannot get water and not buy some new treasures lol With the coraline algae taking root it was time to try a SPS piece. Keep in mind I have NEVER been able to keep SPS in the past but now tith better equipment.... famous last words But here is my super rare green birds nest =] So far it has survived the night =] I also scored a cute little tail spot blenny And just for fun a FTS Funny side note. Since I added the blenny my royal garama has been out and about. Maybe he stole here hiddy hole =]

Here is my Loki when I brought her home at about three months old And here she is now at two years She is not only a great friend but came a long way to be with me. She was born in Israel to a Bedouin herder. When they have too many puppies the will turn the unwanted ones out into the desert to die. But this luck girl was picked up by an Israeli rescue group and flown all the to the St. Helens shelter where she met her forever family. I am so lucky to have her

Sweet pieces

I have no experience with the waterboxs but can vouch for redseas. I have a 170 and after it was tuned in it because dead silent. The glass is crystal clear and stand is solid as a rock. The only thing I would like is a built in fuge area but it sounds like the one your looking at has that already Good luck on your build

Looks like fun, be sure to keep us updated =]

I have purple little dots everywhere! Came around the corner and there they were. With the green algae around it, it does look diseased lol Might be time to try a fuzzy stick The first try taking this picture Whatcha looking at

Congratulations

Spent some time tonight dealing with the tangled nightmare of wires that my equipment had become. Also got the sump cleaned up a bit. Not as sleek as Randall's but its coming along I had to turn my skimmer around. The outflow was creating ripples over the baffle and making a tinkling noise lol

Woohoo, I've got to try and make this one 🌮🤠

A few new additions I stopped by Cuttlefish and Corals yesterday and picked up a cute little royal garama. He is still hiding in the rocks. I can't wait until he comes out and show his colors And of course you can't leave without a coral This blastomusso wellsi is looking awesome. It fully inflated right away.

Looking good =] How did you attach your power strip to the top of your cabinet. It looks do clean

A tail spot blenny or similar would work for you. But honestly in a 13 gallon tank you would be better off just grabbing 4 of 5 snails and saving your fish for something you really want (unless it's a blenny. They are cool)

What are you trying to get the fish to do? Is pest control or algae removal.

I love the movement on this thing 😎 20190309_181741.mp4

Wow, thankfully you were home to catch this

Thank you. I really do like the Alveopora. It was open in the bag on the way home and while dipping. It's funny, your new shop is awesome and has plenty of space. But I do miss your quirky old little shop =]

Some LPS additions 😎 First we have s beautiful light blue Alveopora. These are absolutely beautiful. They have very mixed reviews online but these should come from as hardy line. I hope for the best. Also picked up a single head of branching neon green hammer Euphyllia. Its crazy how much the market has exploded for these since I was last looking at these. But they are worth it. I think this guy would like a little lower flow. Sorry for the blue pictures, I worked late tonight and missed daylight mode

The diatom bloom has ended, now on to the hair algae lol. My CUC seems to be enjoying this much more. I also added a personal favorite of mine. No reef tank is complete without a scarlet cleaner shrimp It's so nice to see all the life in my little glass box

Congratulations, welcome to the 170 club 😎

Side affects may include your fish making a midnight run for Tacobell

I love a good planted tank. I haven't done that in years. Feel free to post a few pictures =] And welcome to the forum

Great name 😄

Welcome to the forum. You have a good looking system there most folks on here are based further south but there are several members up your way.

Do you have anything using Calcium and Alkalinity in your tank? Kalkwasser is a great supplement but will overload your tank if nothing is drawing those elements down. Some good old fashioned water changes should bring your parameters in line for now
