WOW Darren…..those are some amazing colors! If you achieved all of this with being so busy with other things I can't imagine what the tank will look like now that you have more time on your hands now. Definitely some POTM candidates!

Thanks Steve!!!

Over the DT which is SPS dominant I have been running AI Vega's for a year. All the LPS are in 2 separate tanks under ATI T5's.

Wow AWESOME.... All SPS is looking SWEET!!!! Now you have all the time to feed your corals and clean the glass on your tank. Keep up the good work, It looks amazing as always.

 

[dnov99]

Well I always suck at taking FTS, but this is the best I can do. Need a pro to do these. The tank is still a work in progress after taking out the majority of the LPS and putting in about 40 different acro species, but I am hoping in a bout a year to have a nice mature full blown SPS tank...

Sweet Darren! I see apple berry and a few other chalice you had are Mia. Add some more sticks..... sps,sps,sps!!!

 

[kschweer]

Very nice!! How are you liking the bare bottom now that you have had it for a while?

 

[asonitez]

hows that regal angel I think it is treating your corals?

Also I wanted to ask about your flow. I noticed that you have all your powerheads on 1 side of the tank. Do you lack any flow by doing that? Does your overflow work as well with the pumps pushing water away from it?

Nice FTS!!! i can see that bare bottom covered with some monties galore lol. Nice sticks man. Going to grow in beautifully.

Thanks Pete!! Good eye you have!! Yes the massive Miami hurricane, appleberry, undata, superman, among others have all been removed as they were just taking up too much room.

Very nice!! How are you liking the bare bottom now that you have had it for a while?

I love BB, although I do miss the look of the sand bottom, in terms of cleaning the tank, algae and nutrient reduction, there is no comparison. I wouldn't have it any other way.

HE has been a model citizen, thus far...

As for the flow its excellent with all on one side. I have 2 MP40 and a recently added WP40 along with the 2 returns which are very strong. I get a perfect formed laminar type flow this way, as it hits the bow and comes back down around to the other side of the tank. Hope that helps....

Thanks Austyn! Those are actually chalices and a jack o lantern lepto.

Like the hawkfish hanging out on you mag cleaner. Is he aggressive at all towards your wrasses? I assume that any shrimp or hermits are a no go with them, right?

Absolutely gorgeous!!
