Ibra, is that a Stellata? Nice and massive. I have one too but it's only about 3 inches diam. Instead of having the vertical growths in the center, mine has them growing on the outside diameter.

Before Harvey. It's likely a dead tank now as I have not been allowed back into my house due to high water since 8/28.

Set up July of 2015

Hoping for the best for you.

Thank you. What hurts more is its the smallest of 3 tanks I have. All the tanks are likely boiling in this Houston heat with no AC nor pumps running [emoji22]

My very first nano tank, a 14gal oceanic Biocube. Had 2 clowns, GSP, Kenya Tree, Red Seaweed, 3 feather duster, a porcelain crab, pom pom crab, one sexy shrimp, a brittle Star, brain coral, live sand and live rock, and random corals I didn't know the name of. 2011, a tough yr, lasted for 8 months. It crashed and everything died off when my Mother-in-law cut off the main power switch to my timers while I was away for the weekend. Came back to a horror.

6 yrs later I picked it up again, but went smaller. A 2.5 gal pico (last pic) and as of February 2018 upgraded to a 6 gal glass all-in-one cube as shown (pic #2) old sand from my 14gal... Old (dead rock) and new Live rock. Clean up crew 6 blue leg crabs, 1 bumblebee snail, 1 turbo snail, 2 sexy Shrimps, a Kenya Tree, green star polyp, pulsing Xenia, Giant Palm Clove, and giant Feather duster, 1 small mushroom.

I love it and love this hobby. When I move I'm transferring it all to my 75 gallon tank or using it to help seed it. Fun times!!!
