Have not been on in a while... Update **Pic Heavy**

[AutoEXE]

So I have not been on in a while (because of my other animal projects) so I wanted to give everyone a update and see what everyone thinks... first things first I had to move from Virginia to Oklahoma (for the military) and a lot of coral and a couple fish died in the move... I moved almost 30g of water so that i did not have to start with all new water and go through a full water cycle... but my 2 clown fish, 1 Blue Damselfish, 1 Flame Hawkfish, 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish, 1 Blue Reef Chromis and most of my cleaner up crew survived the move my green Star Polyps, Ricordea and Zoanthids also survived which is impressive for 72 hours in a 5gal bucket with a battery powered airrator.

Equipment:
Heater
T-5 light 2 blue lights and 2 white
Wet/Dry trickle filter
pumps

Now the updates I have not added fish but I have added coral another Zoanthids, more green star polyps, candy cane coral, and a finger leather. All levels are doing good and I am feeding my corals "Kent Marine ChromaPlex/ZooPlex". Still not running a skimmer yet but I plan on buying one with-in the next month or 2.


Please comment and let me know what you think. Also and advice is always welcomed or just your advice on what coral I should get next.

probably just a different sub species of the GSP's. I actually have ones that are purple, star polyps come in different varieties.

I would move your ricordia to the sand, or low in the tank and it will color up better. Also, I would try and move the GSPs lower. Once you dial in your numbers, they will take off.
Is your tank drilled? I cant tell if thats a corner overflow in the back or my eyes going...if so, what filtration method are you using (ie: berlin, bio-balls ect).

Happy Holidays!

Nice update! Tank is looking good to me.

I would get a skimmer before you get more corals, and fill that wet dry with rock rubble.

Thank you for your service!

Looks like you have plenty of live rock, I don't see any need for the wet dry filter. Build your own sump and get a skimmer.
