EMUreef's 90g build!!!!!!

I would so love to keep a birds nest but I'm afraid of killing it...you've done great with yours Russ. Best wishes that things just keep getting better from here on out :)

Alright haven't updated in a while and took some pics the other day thought i'd post them up

my tank did have some troubles a couple months ago so its been recovering from that.
lost 6 fish and only had my leopard wrasse, coral beauty, and orange shoulder left.

waited a month or so to restock and through a connection i bought 4 lubbocks wrasse and a bipartus leopard
for some reason 3 of the lubbocks vanished but the one that remains is in good health and eats well.

The bipartus was eating frozen within a day! EXCITING! that was about 2 weeks ago so i feel like im in the clear.

bought a sixline and a starry blenny which are doing good as well.

than friday i picked up a potters wrasse, this will be my third, third times a charm.

soooo pics? pics.

no ill be selling the swc or trying to at least.

im gonna go with a bubble magus on the shallow

as a little test today at some point im gonna clean my skimmer cup up and see how much gunk i can collect over a 4-5 span and do the same with the new skimmer when i put it in to see if the new skimmer makes a difference in whats collected.

alright got the skimmer today but can't put it in the tank till this weekend as i have to drain the sump and such.

but here is kinda the unboxing.
bought this from aquacave. Skimz 161
