I've never seen a Maroon so dark. She's beautiful.

Well, I haven't updated this thread in a while. I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is I lost a few SPS a while ago and I have a huge red slime and diatom bloom. The good news is all the other corals are doing perfectly fine and growing well, and I got rid of the red slime and the diatoms growth speed is slowing down. I also added a few more corals a while ago.

Well, I just came back and got lime wood air stones and a fighting conch. Here are a few pictures of the fighting conch.

I think your tank needs some more flow personally. I would aim your outlets more down towards the botom of the tank. I would also recomend getting 1 or 2 koralia 2's for some flow and get rid of the other powerhead. Im just giving some options based on my opinion, im not trying to degrade your tank at any means. Your coming along great with everything, and dont worry about the SPS. I have only learned through trial and error and soon there will be little room for you to make error since you learned from the past. Good luck with everything and lets see an updated FTS. Have you thought about upgrading the skimmer or getting an ATO? i dont know if you have already got those yet? Good luck

Hey, the diatoms are growing in very high flow area. Its weird. lol Yeah, I'll probably get another power head for some extra flow and put the powerhead behind a rock so you won't see it. But the sand bed gets TONS of flow. The stock skimmer is pretty good IMO. It can pull 3+ inches of crap in a week. I don't need a ATO. I'm home all day and the water doesn't evaporate that fast. A gallon of ro/di water lasts about 4 days. Some times more.

Well, the fighting conch cleaned about 40%+ of the sand bed. The tank looks much better already!

Here is a crappy picture. I'll try to get a few better pictures tomorrow. The new fish is a blenny and the new coral is a acan. The blenny already made himself at home.(made himself a nice cave.)

Ok, Here are a few pictures of the Blenny. I'll try to take a few more better pictures later today.

Ok, I found out what kind of Blenny he is. He is a Ecsenius lineatus, Linear blenny.
