I picked up two new corals last week. I got a very large hammer around the size of a volleyball and a large purple acro.

Here are some pictures.

Nice job Tom! I see you've already started sharing that purple acro... Very nice looking tank! Looks like you've got some really nice pieces in there.

very cool build and love the tank!!

Thanks

Thanks Dave,

A couple pieces broke off while moving it. The coral has a touch of STN and I am not sure why. I am going to try a coral RX dip and see if that helps

Yes, I am completely happy that I set the tank up. I had 3 saltwater tanks setup on separate systems and when I got this tank I moved everything into the new system. There are challenges with big systems but I find this system to be less work than the my three previous systems combined.


Thanks for the comments. Things are finally starting to really take off.

Well I finally broke down and bought a controller. I bought and apex with two extra EB8's. So far I am really happy with it. It was fairly easy to get up and running.

I also took a picture of my rbta with my cinnamon clown fish. They are a young pair that are in one of my 30 gallon tanks. I like the photo because they looking at me like don't even think about coming close to my anemone.

Here are the some latest pictures of the tank. I have not done to much to it. Most of my time has been spent raising clown fish lately. I added a couple of corals otherwise I am just letting everything grow.

Here's a couple of new ones. I did change the reflector on the tank. I switched from a lumenbright reflector to a large lumenmax reflector with DIY LED supplementation on the reflector. The light spread looks to be much more even with the new reflector. The LED's at a touch more actinic to the tank which I really like. I plan to tweek it a little more but so far I am happy with the results
