My nano reef tank full or soft corals, LPS, and more

Front view of my tank. Yellow Watchman goby, pulsing xenia, Tomato clown hosting a Bubble tip anemone, soft corals, lps corals, coralimorphs, live sand, live rock. My little piece of the ocean in my bedroom....it's so relaxing when all is going well.
I am soooo happy. My new Tomato clown started hosting in the BTA just about an hour ago. Whooo Hoo. THIS is what I've been wanting. My pistol shrimp and watchman goby took to each other within an hour. The clown took about 24 hours to get into the anemone.

I've watched this video a few times now and I very much enjoy the coral placements. Everything flows together very well. I am especially fond of the Gorgonians, they made the tank =)

THANKS!! It was a gorgeous tank. Sadly the tank crashed & now holds a moray eel, a chocolate chip star & a small tang with some live rock. I have moved my reefkeeping efforts into a 180 gallon. I am still trying to figure out how to post a video of that with my new phone.

BTW- I wiped out my aptasia with 5 peppermint shrimp, and the lemon juice method...over 5 weeks of daily struggle,.

It's a 28G. , they are gorgonians in the pic . Sadly I moved on a 106 day and my tank crashed BIG TIME! I have 3 mushrooms, a bit of yellow sponge, some kenya tree babies, a small piece of chili coral, 2 damsels, a watchman goby & his pistol shrimp pal. Trying to decide if I want to break it down & start over again!! Not sure I will. I lost my HUGE pulsing xenia colony,a 13 head purple & green Acan Lord., and my 15" lime-yellow & hot pink open brain I grew out). Over $600 to "replace". :(

Thanks, I had a huge aiptasia outbreak...as in nothing left but those. 1000's of them. So, I tore it down, kept the rock with the least amount of aiptasia on it..bought some peppermint shrimp and used lemon juice to wipe those out. Did a lot of water changes & got my parameters under control ( all this took several mos.). I am just now starting again with a few easy corals to see how things go. New lights & powerheads on the way!

Your tank is gorgeous! The tank looks so alive and everything is beautiful! What size tank do you have, and what kind of lighting?

I'm planning to set up an 8gallon reef soon. :)

[BlacknBlueDoberMom]

Thank you so much! I am using a stock 28g nano cube w/refugium & Quad CF lighting.
