So I got some more clean-up crew from reefcleaners.com

I also picked up a new anemone. It’s a colorado sunburst anemone
I put it on its own in the 20 gallon Red Sea nano tank.
this tank is not connected to my system. It’s a stand alone tank.
rigjt not there is nothing else in that tank. Just snail and crab to clean up.
When the nem attaches to a rock I will add some clown fish

Yeah this one is very chunky. The picture doesn’t do it justice.
Let’s see if I attaches to a rock. They sold it to me on a cradle and I don’t have the balls to separate the foot lol
Hooo sure the phone doesn’t get the orange/yellow that this guys have.
and if you massage the feet very slowly and as it move you keep getting under massaging, in a few minutes it’s out.
I saw it in iconic and then did it myself a couple of times (always worked)

I have removed a couple of rainbow nems I use a credit card. But I usually leave it alone and let it move on it’s own.

So we got a lot of changes in the fishroom.
I was able to sell both 4ft frag tanks
So now I will place that with one 8ft frag tank.
This will be better for the tangs that I currently own.
They are getting to big for a 4ft tank.
This will also help with the amount of pumps and lights
I will be using. I sold my 36” aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture
I moved one of the 4ft aquatic life to one of the 4ft frag tanks
I am using the t5 fixture with the Kessil AP700 I really like that
Mix of lights and it works for me.

so for the new 8ft tank I was able to get a 60” t5 aquatic life
I will set that up with 2 Kessil AP700 I have a two Kessil 360we
That I can also add if I am not getting the par range I want.
But for right now I think I should be ok.

I have a few Neptune wav pumps that I will use for circulation.
I will also add a gyre at both of the ends.



the 8ft frag tank Is being built by acrylic creations.
So it’s 8ft x 24” x 12”

So I was able to sell the low boy and I replaced it with a new 4ft custom frag tank. I decided to remove this tank from my system and I am setting it up with a stand alone setup. I had a sump in the shed. Now I can use this tank to put new corals. I can watch them and hold them for a few months before I add the Corals to my system.

So I have been able to add the 8ft frag tank to on the system.
I added water and lights. I also place some corals just to see how they do.
I have two wav pumps on each side. I will add more gyre pumps in the back wall today. I was able to setup the 24x24 anemone tank. I like the way it looks and it’s a lot easier to clean. I also setup the qt frag tank. I installed a apex and ato.
I have a small one head doser to dose all for reef.
I put Kessil lights over all the tanks. I have two ap700 with a 60” t5 aquatic life.
I will measure par over the tank and see where I am.
I still have to move some fish around.
