Tricky getting the colors to look actual in a photo, but this is what my main colony of RR Redbull looks like...
Some serious shading starting to happen due to growth, going to have to start shuffling, moving, and adding light possibly. One of the several culprits... PC rainbow
Recently chopped up my Red Dragon Colony, this is what's left...
Better shots of CC Blue Valkyrie that is was shading...
Mr. Pacman, this is on the bottom of the tank...
This was sold to me as Greg Hiller's Aqua Delight by SC, no way that's what it is, but it's a slow grower and has colored up nicely from the dull coral it was when it showed up.
Joe, Garf, Azure Stag, Red Planet, Sand dollar all in one shot!

Copps Calacali and a few others... Time for some trimming 
Red planet is getting big! More shading issues...
This one is really taking off recently after not growing for a while...
No namer... Fighting cyano a bit after cutting way back on the GFO
RR Sabertooth finally hitting it's stride

Goniopora may have to go soon 
getting massive... Tough to tell, but it's about the size of a #4 soccerball
Green efflo, growing well despite the Red Planet shading it
CC Oblivious. Such a cool coral with really interesting colors. I believe CC lost this one as well as the Blue Valk, so really happy I snagged them when I did. This one almost fully peeled after a power outage and I had to chop it up, it's made a nice comeback
Graham's Bali Icefire Echinata. CLearly not a real icefire, nor an echinata
Hmmm... more trimming...
Oregon Tort. Starting to get shaded...

SSC aka shade provider
Scripps Mili
This doesn't look like SPS...
Green Echinata
Various pieces, so Deep Blue Tort as the filling

Kinda like this shot...
Hey look, fish!
This thing is nearly a foot across now...
Original Miyagi Tort
No sure what happened here... Getting cut out and chopped up soon to make room for some corals from the frag tank
Anemones and more Goni...
Hawkins and stag competing for space...
Some successes and failures here. A weird Ultimate Rainbow growth, red oxide getting blasted with too much light, and a pretty nice mili...
Bananas Suharsoni showing more accurate colors...

I just don't have the words to describe how stunning your tank is.

Amazing growth and progress - truly a beautiful collection! I think you mentioned your tank is around 150 gallons and total system is just over 200. What are the dimensions of your tank and do you have any concerns about managing flow with all the growth you're seeing?

It's 156 gal. and is 60x24x24/25. I'm now running 3 x MP40s on the tank, which is one more than I had before. No concerned about it as I can just keep adding as I see it's needed.
What I am concerned about is just managing the colonies growing into each other and the shading that is going on. I'm considering switching to T5's to help with that...

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I need to get the back glass cleaned up and get a full tank shot soon...
