Update: Post move stress has taken its toll. Lost several fish, but not any corals. Yesterday I started re-working the rocks, adding some new pieces and re-gluing all the corals. Will post more pics again soon!

Looks like it could have been marine velvet. Im treating the system with Rally,all remaining fish and all corals are taking the treatment well.


I did take the opportunity this weekend to add something to the system. I decided to add a ~10 gallon satellite tank. I already had a light (AI nano), got some furniture at Ikea for the stand, and my skimmer and thermometer are already rated for a much larger system than what i have. I added a Maxijet 1200 as the return (plenty of tun-rover in that tank) and a 1" overflow drilled into the back.

Some pics below!



This is the new tank. I used the Ikea "Besa" modular shelf system to make the stand. Got a hole saw and cut some openings in the back for the return and overflow. Tank is ~10gallons, and about 10inches deep, Starfire glass. AI nano on a controller sitting on a shelf above with holes cut out for the light.

For scale and reference, my Tank stand is about 36 or 40 inches tall. The new tank is definitly low, but it'll be good top down and when sitting on the couch. I also took the time to clean up some wiring.

More cleaned up wiring. Unfortunatly it is outside the stand, but it is all mostly black and blends in.
