November update:

I added my jebao RW-4 a few weeks ago as I was getting some algae but honestly I am not sure it has helped so I have turned it off for a few days to see if there is any difference as I hate seeing it in the tank. I have sold a few pieces of coral and added a few others. Added a bunch of snails and a Halloween hermit crab, I still need to add a few more hermits I think but for the most part they have taken care of the algae I was having issues with on the rocks. I am still getting some diatom algae which is frustrating seems I sold 4 fish and lightened the bioload.

I think I just need more sand snails. I have a conch and a few stomatellas but the Christmas wrasse I sold took care of a lot of my snail population.

Updated stocking list:

Pair of spotcinctus clowns

2 bangaii cardinals

Beautiful pictures! You know you're doing well when you can take a picture with just daylight and everything is still colorful :wub:

Thank you. The corals really are this colorful. I think I am finally happy with where things are placed. I will take an updated tank shot with the new corals in a few weeks

These are amazing pictures! Did you do any photo editing to get them looking so good?

I'm a photographer so I know how to get things pretty good without much editing. I shoot in raw so I just fixed the color a little bit. I had to crop a couple to get rid of light reflection but that's it. They have these colors in real life:)

Everything looks amazing as always! That rainbow looks just like my rainbows should look but don't. What level of lighting are you running?

Thanks! I actually just got those so we will see if they keep their color:)
