It's been well over a year since I updated this thread. I still have this tank but the last year with it has been a struggle. My Picasso clown ended up on the carpet even with a plastic tank cover over the whole tank. I got 2 new clowns which are doing great, I also got a watchman goby at the same time, he did great for a while but I suspect he might have been old when he was sent to me as he was quite large. One day he disappeared and I haven't seen him since.
I have 1 pj Cardinal left out of 2, the one I have now is a murderer, he killed his buddy and ended up with a broken jaw in the process. His jaw is still funky but he manages to eat so I'm leaving him alone.
The tank suffered a massive bryopsis/ hair algae outbreak which killed off some corals. I dosed with some meds and now am only dealing with the very stubborn hair algae.
The tank is now in the process of a bubble algae outbreak; I'm doing manual removal and seem to be gaining the upper hand! The pocillopora I thought had died to bryopsis made a reappearance about a month ago and is popping up in several places.
This tank now only contains corals that couldn't be killed off, even by nuclear war
. It is the zombie apocalypse survivor tank. Nothing can kill my massive Devils hand, and it keeps popping off babies so once I've got the rocks. Little better looking I'm going to attach the 6 or so smaller ones and just let them take over. I still have the pink finger leather, a tonne of blue mushrooms and several kinds of palys. All I can say is once a leather is comfy, good luck killing it off
Pics to come when I get oin a computer not n ipad.
