12 Gallon JBJ

been a little while so I thought I'd update. I had picked up some nice frags from John a couple weeks ago. For some reason tank started to go through a diatom bloom and my zoas were getting covered so last week I cut the lights for about a day and a half. when I turned them back on I started at probably 30% and over the past few days have been increasing them and they are about probably 75-80% intensity.

Zoas are starting to open back up but some have some white spots on them. I've been dosing vitamin C to see if that helps and Im continuing with my regular maintenance ( 1 gal weekly water change) and rinse out filter floss.

all LPS are doing great.

Will be starting another build thread soon as I picked up a 24 gallon jbj at a killer deal from Ken (1skindog). Will run both this 12 gal and the 24 gal systems.

tease picture for 24 gallon. Not too exciting yet

UPDATE: lost my rasta frag a few weeks ago. Not sure why as all my other zoas are doing well.   I added 2 fish this weekend. A purple firefish and a banggai cardinal. Birdworld has the purple firefish on sale so I got it for 20 which is awesome I think.

I got it from Ken(1skindog) he lives in bountiful. I do need to frag this piece though as it is getting way too big for my tank haha.

Thanks Jackie!

Everything is happy!

Thank you for the kind words! I still think I have a ways to go when it comes to taking nice aquarium pictures. The camera on my phone is pretty nice though and the more I mess with the settings the better the pictures come out.

That Fungia is cool!

It looks like a racing Bangaii!

my purple firefish disappeared over the weekend. No sight of it Saturday. No way it could have come out of the top as I leave the canopy down unless I'm feeding and I stand right there while I'm feeding. I thought it could have ended up in the back chambers but pulled everything out and no sign of it back there either. If it passed away friday night after lights out im thinking it got cleaned up by cuc and whatever else remained got sucked in the back chambers.   weird luck with fish I tell ya lol.
