Dave’s 230 Gallon Reef

[Mozby]

I have 0 nitrate and phosphate. I didn’t change all these things at the same time. It has been a slow change. I am now seeing a trace of nitrate so it is going in the right direction. I think my SPS were pretty pale so trying to get more color out of them.

I have also been adding more fish. Here is the list so far:
1 Yellow Tang
1 Orangeshoulder Tang
1 Tomini Tang
1 Copperband Butterfly
1 Pyramid Butterfly
1 Percula. Clown
2 Firefish
1 cardinal
9 chromis
2 Lyretail Anthias

I am toying with the idea of adding a juvenile Emperor Angel...

So far no problems with either butterfly but should note I only have one soft coral (pipe organ). Other than that I have LPS and SPS.

Love emperor angels, just wish they would retain that psychedelic pattern and coloration through adulthood.

The naso looks sassy with those big lips. What’s the other big one, achilles?

Yes, it’s an Achilles

Gorgeous tank!

Have you had any problems between the Achilles and orange shoulder?

No problems. They were all added at the same time and all get along well. I feed a lot which I think prevents aggression. I feed 6-8 cubes of food and two large sheets of nori a day.
