Adding more fish in this new saltwater aquarium - another black ice snowflake ocellaris. Hoping they will pair up or at least get along. I couldn’t keep the one fish by itself. I did have to move the hammer coral back to the cube tank because it was losing color. Not sure why. Maybe the nutrients are too low in this tank. Algae is growing but the three snails I added to this tank several weeks ago are doing a great job keeping things clean. I just had to clean the glass to shoot this video. I only have to clean the glass once or twice a week. Not sure what’s next for this tank, but stay tuned (and subscribe) to find out!
Anyway, thank you for following the journey of this new build!
This is built in a 10-gallon Aqueon fish tank from Petco with a Sicce Syncra Nano return pump, VCA random flow generator (RFG) return nozzle, and self-cut acrylic sheet for the back wall and baffles.
