FarmerTy 215-gal No Water Change SPS Tank

No fooling... No gel filters... No saturation boost... No DSLR magic as I snapped it with my android phone... Just ATI T5s and SBREEF actinic bars... WYSIRL (what you see in real life)! Wow! I've always had them under LEDs or LEDs with supplemental T5s but under mainly T5s with actinic bars... Its mesmerizing! Colorado Sunburst! Wow!
So my tank has recently hit what I would call a mature state after its one year mark. Consumption of alk/ca has been pretty stable lately, everything in the tank is happy, colors are about 90% back now versus 70% a couple months ago.
Its hard to describe but you can just see it in the health of the coral. Flesh looks great on the acros and you can see little growing terminal ends on just about every piece in the tank.
With this also comes the major growth phase of a mature tank. Once it hits its stride, you'll be rewarded with amazing growth.
Here's 2-2.5 months of growth on the first two pieces and 1.5 months on the small frag. Growth rates have just exploded in the last couple of months and its been great to see that again after weathering the move and the 1st ups and downs until the tank is mature.

You sound like you need a dedicated anemone frag system to collect all these designer nems in so they won't cause collateral damage
