So the non-photosynthetic corals are the most difficult to keep? Your tank looks really good!

Thanks! Some nps corals are easier than others, but the gorgonians and soft corals are definitely harder. LPS such as Dendrophyllia, Rhizotrochus and Tubastrea corals are fairly hardy once you get them eating.

Thank you... it has been a great learning experience, hopefully not just for me.

Hey Doc,

I upgraded to a larger system and moved most of the corals over to a bigger tank. The Elos is being stocked with some other unique non-photosynthetic inverts.

I recently got a tube sponge that is practically bioluminescent and has been growing very fast. One of the coolest I've ever seen. I'll try to take some pics soon.

My tank was recently featured in Advanced Aquarist online magazine, Jan. issue - you can read about its progression and evolution there.

You can also visit my other build thread here for more info:

Wow these pics are amazing. I am setting up a 25G rimless with some Elos components...

I am going to read this thread very carefully!

Do you ever notice that the frogfish you keep has trouble with the strong waterflow of the NPS setup? I would be interested in keeping a similar system but I wonder if there are any fish that would really like strong shifting current.

Cheers!
