Nice progression shots and the corals are looking good at the moment. Nice deep coloration. Looking forward to how things settle in as you get ready to migrate things over.
Yeah sure I have many birds and freshwater fish, but, this is what makes this hobby special! It is literally a part of the ocean in a glass box. It is a reflection of one’s personality. If they are patient, if they are impulsive, and so much more!
Flatworms are just a symptom of too many nutrients in the tank. I mean it doesn't really matter as you are breaking the tank down but if the population continues to rise in you're new aquarium just throw a wrasse in there. Unless the worms are planaria and that's a whole different problem.
Nutrients ain't bad, 2ppm nitrates and 0.1 phosphates. The flatworms are red planaria. Very common in the hobby. A sixline wrasse would have sorted them out but to aggressive for that small tank
@@TwoScottishReefers o.k let me put it this way, nutrients over time have been turned into biomass = flatworms. So I'm not talking about currently available nitrogen, it's an accumulative process. It's simple input output. Each of those flatworms have consumed a 100X their mass in nutrients to build their bodies and you have 1000's of them.
@Simon Lockley-evans true but that's the same with everything living in the tank. I've never heard of anyone starving out flatworms by lowering nutrients

Tank has come along way, takes ages for small tanks to take off with sps growth but makes it even more satisfying when they do
Hopefully you solve the flat worm issue.

@@simonlockley-evans3925 also these flat worms are photosynthetic
@@TwoScottishReefers well you have now as I significantly lowered a flatworm population by lowering my food intake.
