Finally got my first one posted, thought it would be in shortly after I requested this frag lol. I will have another entry up within the next few days, which will bring the journal up to date.

Ya definitely going to avoid the tang for now. And I appreciate the advice with the blenny, I don't want to fill up my tank with anything I don't love.

Thanks for the advice! Manual top off hasn't been terrible because of the glass top, although the coral (and I) would probably prefer ATO in the long run. I have avoided adding things that need a sump (or distilled water tank) as the desk the tank is on does not have a hole for pipes to run...

Thanks for the advice! Will definitely check it out.

Thanks for the recommendations! I've been convinced to not pursue a tang, seems it will be a fun goal when I build a larger tank. I looked at an urchin but didn't want it picking up loose frags, although with the pistol shrimp now I'm learning its best not to have loose frags in general. May...

This is the stance I currently have. I've seen fish stores use fake structures and even red solo cups in long-standing tanks. I'm not married to it either though, if I suspect any issues it will be gone. I will likely remove it before corals grow and trap it. It was a fun shelter for the brittle...

Thank You! I did de-rim it, the rim didn't have a center cross member so I figured it wouldn't change much. I kept the ends with some modification so I could still use the glass top. Ya my plan was only a small baby tang, and to find line up a forever home long before it needed to move. After...

Thanks for the recommendations. Filtration is a Fluval AquaClear 30 HOB, full system info is in my new tank journal post. I may get a small skimmer soon to help with gas exchange. That rock on the right was collected from my local beach, and I did wash it pretty good before putting it in the...

Hello all, this is my first BAR journal entry all about my 20 gallon long tank. I am new to the hobby, so this will be a simple system with stability in mind. This is a mixed reef with fish and inverts, I’m trying to gain experience with as many different corals and creatures as possible (in a...

Hello everyone, I’m Adam Mollica. I’m brand new to BAR and have only been in the hobby for about two months now. I have a 20 gallon long tank as I only have limited time and funds, but I definitely will upgrade eventually (I’m still a broke college student for a little longer). I’m so glad to...
