About

Been running a good while now and it's changed a ton from those early bare rock days. Anthias school together most of the time, firefish scatter the second anything moves too fast, chromis just kind of float around ignoring everyone. Montipora and acro have both colored up nicely, goniopora sways whenever the pump kicks on. Small tank but it fills up fast once the coral gets going lol.

happy with it

Just an update, nothing major going on, but I'm honestly pretty happy with how this little tank looks right now. Everything's settled in, colors look good, fish are active. No complaints lol.

Note

coming along

Compared to those early photos this thing looks totally different. Corals are still small but there's actual color on the rock now instead of just bare white, coralline is starting to spread in patches. Still some empty rock showing through but it's a lot further along than a couple months ago.

Nice mix in a 10 gallon, anthias can be picky little eaters. Is yours taking frozen food consistently or still holding out for something else?

Tank owner replied

Taking frozen mysis pretty consistently at this point, wasn't always the case though. First week or so she was picky and I was worried she'd hold out. Feeds fine now.

How far down is that WRGB mounted? Any shadow issues on the acro or is flow enough to keep it happy

Small reef like that is impressive, what are you feeding the firefish and the anthias, same frozen mix for both?

Tank owner replied

Yeah same frozen mix for both, mysis mostly. Firefish is an easy eater, anthias took a bit longer to come around to it but they're both on it now.
