Subliminal's Fluval Evo 13.5 Build

Upped the amperage a little bit from the AI Prime to the XR15. Got a relatively good deal on a g4 Mobius ready unit. Picked up a monitor desk-mount, made some adapting bracketry...obviously I need to replace the wireties with some little bolts, but it's up and running. :)

Finally think I got rid of my flatworm problem (only took 3 or so months).
Almost over the browning/bleaching of some of my corals due to too much light.
Maroon and Perc still getting along well (although I know that might not last forever.)
Wish I could go back in time and NOT put those stupid clove polyps in...they're starting to cover about 6 kinds of zoas, and I'm concerned they're never going to stop. Probably have to yank that rock soon.
Wish I could go back in time and never add those mushrooms which are now working their way around and thru some of the SPS.
Outside of that, everything seems pretty happy!

The problem most of us have is visualizing coral growth. The cloves would be fine in a large tank- other kinds of cloves don't multiply or get as big as those. I'd gladly take your shrooms if you ever want to get rid of them- maybe trade for a small yuma.

Yeah, live and learn! haha.

As to the shrooms, i have no idea how to get them off the rocks, but if i did, you could certainly have them. There are a dozen or so...a few of which found little holes in my SPS to stick themselves in. ;)

A local lfs would probably take the cloves- mine would. Just scrape the shrooms off the rock with a knife- the ones in crevices would be hard though. I have a shroom cage to get them to re attach

What kind of flatworms were you up against? I’m fighting red planaria and at the point of contemplating a whole reset, would love some insight if you have any from your attempts and what worked!
