Tank is a NC12DX that has had the pump swapped out with a hydor evo mag 300 and a single K-nano (used to be two but one died) Tank has no skimmer and i change 1 gallon of water every 2 weeks. The sand bed is about 3-4 inches deep. This drops the total water volume down to around 7 gallons. I keep salinity stable with a JBJ ATO. I just keep mostly softies in this tank with a couple of LPS bits and one little orange digi right at the top under the lights.

 

I have to trim the cheato and the red grape macro about once a month. I cut the red grape back to where its literally a 3" single branch and within a month or so its already grown out to the surface of the water and sprouted alot of branches.

Very cool - I love red grapes (botrycladia) but could never get it to grow that quickly. What is the big stalked coral in the front left and the coral on the rock under the red grapes?
