Congrats on TOTM, really love those SPS colonies! Could you tell me what that smaller colony is on the far left of this top down shot? Looks like a green base with red/pink tips. Thought maybe a strawberry shortcake but I didn't see it listed on your post.

your tank looks amazing!!  Never really thought about getting sps, but your tank has inspired me.  Maybe somewhere waaaay down the road I might try an easy one.

Thank you 🙏, there are easy to keep sps you can try like digitatas.

Thank you and its called the ASD Birthday Cake. They happen to give every coral a name but the colors is what’s really important.

I'll have you know I bought an ASD birthday cake acro frag because of this lol. Definitely not as colorful as yours is, hopefully it will get to that level in a few months

That's awesome! The colors on mine are more pink with purple highlights and the green base is slightly there but deep within. If you have any questions hit me up.

Happy New Year Nano Reefers! Yes, a little late lol. I haven’t been keeping up with updates in the past couple of months due to them being my busiest time of my business along with the usual Holiday season Madness but anyway, back to a little normalcy. 
 

I did manage to continue with reef care during that time and documenting with pics so here is an update starting with FTS monthly progress.

Being the 2 year anniversary here is a pic if the tank at the start, then at 1 year and at 2, which is the Dec. pic.

The growth rate from the 1st to 2nd is pretty insane. There have been small changes on the left but the center and right side have been untouched when it comes to adding coral. I actually removed a colony on the front right side early Dec.

you tagged illumagic on Instagram? The growth is epic, assuming you had their light for most of the last year, if not all?

Thanks!  I do tag them in my posts. I did add that fixture in Dec. 2018.

Beautiful tank. How is it doing nowadays? Do you measure nitrate and phosphate anymore or do you just go by the look of the corals. Also, are you still running the skimmer intermittently and do you still run the chaeto reactor and other nutrient export methods? Thanks
