Hey Matt. Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! I don't post much since my photo skills are lacking!

Tank is 120g starphire with basement 175g stock tank sump lots of LR, some bio bricks, GAC.

CaRx on masterflex for main and trace elements, daily dose lugols, few times per week Fe and K along with MB7 or other probio. I also standby my use of 3x weekly AF probio, Build, and E and alternate days I dose Fuel or other amino and occasionally oyster feast.

I feed fish heavily (lots of fish I know) feeding keeps down aggression (not unlike me).

I run biopellet and have a big skimmer for export. Experimented a lot with pellet setup and media and now on AIO for past several months which I like compared to other brands I've tried.

ATI 8 bulb t5 +reefbrite

May sound like alot of product and maintenance but as a system with heavy nutrient in and heavy export it seems to strike a balance with a consistent regime!

A 120g gets small quick when the acros grow! A lot of planning/spacing for grow out and having to move stuff occasionally if growth patterns dictate. I really do work hard to keep reasonable symmetry without being too sterile.

I've learned a lot over the years on this forum!!

Thanks for the kind compliment spudsly!

interesting to see how one piece can vary in coloration based on placement. Or color variations based on nutrient/element status. That green, blue tip piece for example I posted earlier, the tips are red under daylights then briefly go blue when light ramp down.

Would love to see the tank in motion. I'm a big fan of anthias and sps!

Awesome display of beautifully colored acros Greg, really pretty SPS reef mate

Breathtaking corals Greg. Excellent colors and placement. Nice to see a fellow RI reefer rocking the SPS in epic fashion. If you sell frags let me know...Id love to get a couple pieces when my tank gets set up soon. Congrats
