Echinata at night.. beautiful blue polyp!
I took out this rock and found this thing on it, any ID? I found several small "frag" of it on that rock seem to be alive as there are color
Those are the 2 biggest piece, there are probably 3-5 smaller pieces
And finally got my CaRX running!!

wanted to post some picture up from last night cleaning of the skimmer.
Very smelly!! this is about 9-10 days of skimmage
coral poo ^^
cleaned! good for another 2 weeks
and some night pictures of my critters
Tang always sleep in the same spot... I wonder if he will continue to do so when he's 5"+++?

Nice aquascape, do the LB's provide enough coverage for your tank or would you pick a different reflector? Which LB's do you have?

It does provide enough coverage, but I do wish it was more as one part of my tank is a bit shaded. I have the lumenbright SE Mini Pendant. I got it about 16" above my water level and other is 14" above. Coral shows good color so far, So i think the PAR is pretty good
Hopefully in 6 months this tank will really mature and SPS will be bigger w/ more color :beer:
As of today I have
34 - Acropora Species ( I really want to have an acropora crab for each acro... idk why I just do!)
2 - Seriatopora
9/10 - Montipora
2-4 Zoanthid / Paly
3 - Echino
and some ricordeas
need more acro!

Thought I'd do some growth comparison today to see how much some of my beloved SPS had mature over the months.

FTS =)
I'm very surprised that the glass don't bow much like I see w/ some of the 4ft ADA tank. Leemar FTW!
Upcoming is a very small frag tank... I'm removing my fuge since my chaeto and other macros aren't growing. Gonna take out all the sand and such and put a mp10 (if the acrylic can handle it) with maybe 2-3 Ecoxotic Module LED...
The tank is actually a part of my sump, measured 20"x 6"?X8-10" tall, VERY small frag tank

Please forgive me if I am wrong but they may not like the bloodworms as they are not part of their natural diet.

Anyways I went ahead and remove live rocks from the fuge today. Sand will have to be next week when I have time. Installed 2x Ecoxotic LED Module (New model, comes w/ Reflector!). And made myself a small acrylic frag rack, still need to drill some holes.
But here's what I have so far!
Trial Frag Rack #1 (look crappy on one side since I messed up attaching it
Ecoxotic LED
And my little frag tank, have 1 frag in there at the moment, it looks good and getting some good random flow from my koralia + water movement, will be putting a MP10 in there.
