Looks nice. Lot’s of movement 

Thanks! Once I add another prime I’m going to provide space for grow out between rocks and fill in between, thinking cataphyllia next once I provide some space. I’ve always wanted one

order arrived and everything opened up! Peep the freebie, baby rhodactis?👀 toxic Goni, toxic green frogspawn (super bright green), purple torch

How are the new additions settling in @Cencalfishguy56? That green frogspawn is a beauty!

They’re setting in beautifully! Waiting on getting my other ai prime and gonna utilize all the space in this tank with more spread

everything is growing, sunny Ds are adding two more polys, the bubble gum digi has been branching out and gsp has been encrusting on the rock at a rapid pace now, will be adding another AI prime by the end of this week!😁

Great tank, looking forward to following your progress! You're anemones are stunning too!

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and look forward to having you along for the journey! I must admit I think I’m gonna upgrade pretty soon so it should get even better, I hope😅 lol

 

btw the anemones are probably my favorite by far, so glad I found some this bright

finally got another AI prime ordered and should be here this week! Also in the market for bright zoas, acans and possibly another euphyllia or pull the trigger on a nice elegance, any ideas??🤔

I think more zoas would look awesomen personally...

What zoas did you end up getting?

I got scrambled eggs, bam bams, WWC AOIs, rainbow hornets, fruit loops, Rastas, and OG blue kiss

a little reef vid I put together highlighting some updates, most recent coral is the yellow plate and red/pink acan. Everything is growing quickly, all acans have at least 2 new heads sprouting, my red acan has 4 new heads coming in and sunny D palys have gone from 2 to 5. Also bubblegum digi is encrusting and sprouting out. As of a couple of days ago my bubble tip split so now I have 3😅

made a quick little update video, everything is growing nicely. I think the fastest grower is the red acan, it has a ton of heads around the base. The bubblegum digi is encrusting well and I see it starting to branch out at the base. Check out my torch in the beginning that got F***** up from my BTA a few weeks ago 😖 the tentacles look shriveled still. Btw I just noticed I now have 4 BTAs! Can’t wait a few months to see everything grown in, also looking to add a few more colorful zoas and possibly starting up another tank! I was thinking about switching back to kessils as well...

You’re tank is sick. Making all the right choices with coloration and livestock IMO. 👍🏼

Feeding time, can you tell the plate loves reef roids?F30D5616-8299-4FB4-8365-20D464526309.thumb.jpeg.a1b288b5104ff1c84d928a47887ae7aa.jpegA7C0930E-11D2-4F6F-9579-EA727CBCBBD9.thumb.jpeg.f0a120adf632780141819d4cf445bf92.jpeg

 

also got a hairy mushroom for the LFS, this will go into the next tank I will be setting up. Hopefully it doesn’t drop babies before then🥴5C50EB5E-3E3E-4595-B0E7-7C650A0688F1.thumb.jpeg.4b3c41fa2351ba9ae4a830999870fb9d.jpeg

Added a few more zoa frags, got a nice beauty and the beast frag for cheap. Here’s the tank currently, growing and glowing! Gonna start testing soon and dosing for your reef, I know sps would appreciate it and take off faster than they already are, notice the bubblegum digi is already encrusted down the plug and branching out464604C9-C81D-434C-8F86-F8765B7D5D8D.thumb.jpeg.ddeee0dc9ebcd580d0d6e6c4553513f1.jpeg713C4101-C464-468C-A2D2-88050C070096.thumb.jpeg.13e1ffa486baacb43e997da8b1c83d53.jpeg697A776E-DAAC-4300-A70F-3C6E09D0320C.thumb.jpeg.1df84720d924cfb2edd830955fac5ea7.jpeg

 

also cut my skimmer entirely and went with a full fuge, i noticed what seemed to be dinos when I was skimming heavy and had cut back on feedings in an attempt to eradicate GHA in the display, unfortunately my nutrients dropped super fast so I cut skimmer and went back to feeding schedule and dinos appeared to disappear after a couple weeks of going back to old routine, will be adding more macros and various fauna to increase diversity once thanksgiving break hits! For now, caulerpa prolifera and gracillaria hayi, tank is doing great, still sticking to weekly 5 gallon water changesFE7B24C8-9587-4380-9677-A1F74ACBC4D7.thumb.jpeg.7789ca1621f5c4c0525e57224b910764.jpeg8713E021-A6CE-4D52-A32D-71AC6C174BD1.thumb.jpeg.a0171322692048b6023378ec092118b5.jpeg 

 

lastly, new tank is now cycled. Will be adding fish soon and once I have matured with macros I will be adding sea horses and taking fish out. We shall see maybe I’ll do another reef instead with a euphyllia dominance
