This tank is so inspiring great collection of species. Hope some day I could have something similar with my tank!

this is a beautiful tank I do have a question about your chalices and how close they are placed in your tank do you have any concern with them stinging in each other or one taking over the other?

And that angel is a potter's angel not a rusty angel. Once again, thanks for noticing my pictures. |

Great picture of the Borb he looks fat and happy. I lost my pair a few months back due to a disease that took most of my fish. I'm now going through a wrasse phase and then I'm done buying expensive fish. I'm sending you a pm now about the frag.

I can't believe this tank does so well with so little. Really impressive that you get this growth and color from running a little media. How often do you do a water change and how much? There is no GFO running 24/7 in the tank and no carbon dosing?

I also have two chillers in series in case one fails. I have a terrific geismann halide/t5 light fixture. I have two jebao wp 40's for more flow. Oh and I have a reeflo dart/hybrid circulating pump. I think that is everything. (Just ordered an apex system for just in case) But I don't think it is a small list or simple. I check the tank daily to make sure everything looks to be working and is happy. I check alkalinity weekly with a Hanna checker. I replace the phosphate about every 6 weeks. I feed daily. I wipe the glass about once or twice a week. I trim chaeto every couple weeks. I change 10 gallons of saltwater weekly and filter sock. I add about 15 gallons of RO water weekly to the the ATO due to evaporation. I periodically test salinity, calcium, magnesium, phosphates and nitrates And most important, I spend hours a week staring at my tank and enjoying In order to keep the tank happy and maintain stability, I think you need a strict regimen of maintenance which I enjoy doing. Close observation of the tank equipment, water and livestock really are essential. Because I enjoy spending so much time staring at the coral, I also get to pick up cues about how the tank is doing |

I think your last point is well taken. A strict husbandry routine and careful observation are key. I know my tank suffers when I fall behind on maintenance.

The first colony is a sarmentosa at least I am pretty sure it is. The second colony I am not sure about--it grows in a circular table kind-of, but with long branches radiating out like a sunburst. |
