Yeah that one was my first coral i got when i started a year ago.It was just a tiny branch piece and i have held on to it through 4 different tanks.I have had a few others but just gave them away to new reefers.

Found 3 lime green nudibranchs last week.They are goners now.Also added 3 more hermits and my stomatella snails are multiplying so im seeing some little ones speeding around.

The light fixture is an ebay find they are only 150 new.

 

I like the 36 better than the 24 cause you dont the dark ends.

Trying out a different camera and noticed the growth on the xenia in just a few days.Now im kinda rethinking it being in my tank.

I had xenia in my 75 back in the day, worse decision ever!!!!!! I still want those LTR Acans :D

LOL.I still want them too.Maybe when i get an inland saw ill let you get some lol. :D

 

Im hoping they are using excess waste like nitrates to fuel growth.

 

Im already fighting blue clove polyps.Going to get a wire brush and see what happens.

New fish addition today.Pics coming soon.My tank is now complete.I want to let everything fill in and then see what i have left.

 

i also found some zoas growing in the cave on the right.Im not sure where they came from or what they are cause they are washed out from not having much light.

Just wanted to share an updated pic on the ora green birdsnest and the acans since they seem to be about the only things really taking off.
