Building my reef.

[jacksonchamnew]

I have fun with this reef. 65 gallon. I drilled all the new rocks.

Nice! Are you going to put in any fish? If so, which ones?

Edit: I think I see a clown, are you going to add anything else?

We obviously need better pics of all of them (even though the reef and corals are just as gorgeous as well)! I absolutely LOVE triggers!

How are the trigger and coral beauty doing in the reef? They tended to nip at corals if I remember right

Why do you drill the rocks?

 

[DocZ]

That’s a gorgeous reef! it’s been years since I’ve had one. Makes me want one again

what do you use for lighting and filtration/skimming? I’m way out of the reef keeping game

I’m stuck with freshwater for now

 

[ERKleRose]

Why do you drill the rocks?

To attach corals and other stuff to the rock or to attach it to other rocks for structural purposes

What fish are stocked in that tank? That is an incredibly lush tank! Do you use any fertilizers to help with it?

 

[DocZ]

No fertilizer, just whatever the fish drop
There’s a lot of fish in there
2 wild Pair manacapuru Angels
11 neon tetras
3 rummynose tetras
1 ember tetra
2 penguin tetras
5 false penguin tetras
6 loaches (not sure what species)
1 Julii cory
Several bristle nose plecos (they breed periodically, not sure how many are in there)
It’s a collection of stuff I picked and leftovers from tanks my kids had and gave up on wanting to take care of

I've had an 8g nano reef and 55g FOWLR. One of the most addicting hobbies I've had. So freaking expensive though if you want all the fancy equipment and corals.

I added Noopsyche and Fluval reef lights. I have Vertex skimmer and made refugium out of kalk reactor. I use Chemi Pure, 2 part, Amino acids and bacteria.

 

[jacksonchamnew]

OK the fish.

 

[ERKleRose]

Breathtaking! I’m so jealous! Amazing job!
