AIO 3.7g Macros & Softies

[yoshii]

Hello everyone!

I'm not new to reefing, but I'm new to SDreefs! I figured I'd finally introduce myself by making a thread for my current tank. If you're on nano-reef, you might recognize my screen name.

I just moved to San Diego last September, but I started reefing around 9 years ago. I've had quite a few tanks in the past, but have had to downsize to this pico since moving.
Here are some pics of a few of my old tanks.
55g mixed (first SW tank)

10g macros and gorgs

3g mixed

and my current 3.7g pico



I recently added a YCG, Pudge, and I plan to slowly add more softies


I'm excited to get to know more of the SD reefing community

I know, I'm missing my bigger tanks!
That leather is actually my Tyree Green Toadstool, it was closed up from shedding when I took that pic.

I'm always looking out for more macros and would love to trade! I've had some from when I first started my first macro tank (the 10g above) and others I got more recently
I think that one is a type of Laurencia, but I haven't positively ID'd it yet.

I've collected my macros from various sources over the years, but one of my favorite places to order from is live-plants.com In the spring they have an amazing assortment and great prices
This is a current list of all the macros I have:
Greens
◆ Bob Ross Algae (Cladophora sp.)
◆ Caulerpa prolifera
◆ Money Plant (Halimeda sp.)
◆ Chaetomorpha sp.
◆ Codium fragile
◆ Unk "Long Bubble" Green
Reds
◆ Dragon's Tongue (Halymenia sp.)
◆ Red Grape (Botrycladia sp.)
◆ Gracilaria hayi
◆ Pink Galaxia (Galaxaura sp.)
◆ Red Spiny Algae (Bryothamnian triquetrum)
◆ Purple Bush Algae (Laurencia or Chondria probably)
◆ Red Fine Feather Algae (Plocamium cartilagineum)
◆ Unk Knobby Red Algae
◆ Unk Spikey Dark Red
◆ Unk Leafy Red
◆ Unk Flat Branching Red
◆ Rhodymenia 1 (R. pacifica?)
◆ Rhodymenia 2 (R. pacifica?)
◆ Rhodymenia 3
Browns
◆ Dictoya sp.
◆ Zonaria farlowii

Yes it is! Yea for me it's the opposite I know screen names more than actual names. Lol

Pudge the YCG has internal worms He's still eating great but I picked up some Prazi to treat him. Hopefully all goes smoothly!

Hi guys! So this whole summer I've been back home and whenever I'd try to access this site, I'd get a server error. I thought the site was down but really it's something wrong with my Internet connection. I'm currently typing this using data on my phone with the tapatalk app. I'm going to try to reset my DNS so I can use my computer cause I have some nice updates to share with you all!

Amazing what light are you running on that tank if you don't mind me asking

I'm using 2 different lights (which is why some pics have different lighting)
I have the BoostLED PAR30 which I think has 2xRB, 1xCW, 1xNW, and then a basic daylight bulb
