FarmerTy 215-gal No Water Change SPS Tank

I would bet that even after doing all those things, it was probably that dipping hell routine that did in the coral.

That was my guess as well. I do that for all other maris but didn't think to consider these two aren't like the rest. At least I know only the strong have survived! [emoji5]

Yea that dipping process sounds like a rough one, especially for fragments of thoes acros. That and will put out a huge base before starting to grow upwards so make sure it has plenty of room to grow and place it somewhere you don't have to move it around and where it gets great light. I love seeing abros that actually grow in aquariums. A lot of the time people have them growing but they I'd them wrong and it's really a robusta. Keep an update, your tanks really cool for sure.

Maybe I need to move mine then. There's not much room to encrust where its at right now!
 
Made an update video now that I've cleared my sandbed out finally.

I also wanted to document the tank before I started fragging up all my pieces. I figure this is a good time to move around colonies as well and fill in the giant holes left by removing the screaming green birdsnest and purple stylo mega-colonies. Wish me luck!

Seriously awesome video, the tank is looking fantastic, and the acros all look super healthy, even the one getting munched on. :)

Thank you sir! Means a lot coming from you. [emoji106]

Yeah, that poor Hawkins is just like dessert in the tank. Haha.
 
Fantastic video and even more fantastic tank! All the colors are complimenting one another from the corals to the fishes!

Cheers,
Riz
