Your tank looks great.. especially for less than a year. How do you like the Coralife skimmer?

 

[cristhiam]

Thanks, I have most of the LR and some corals most for 2+ years, from a 55G.

So far I like the CSS it's been up for about 4 weeks and it really pulls a lot of dark skimmate each week. The first week pull about 1/2 a gallon it takes time to adjust and very touchy

The max is attached to a 1/2 shell, it's been attached to that shell since I got it, I place it on top of that digitata a few months ago and it is completely encrosting so the clam is secure there.
Here is a picture of it on 2004 it was 1 - 1.5"

your tank is stunning. congratulations!

 

[cristhiam]

Tank you guys for the nice comments. It's amazing at the growth and changes that the tank has gone throu. I was looking at some pictures just 5 months ago and it's crazy. Can't really tell when you look at your tank daily but when you see pics from months ago you go WOW!

I love the look of all the Xenia, ... how did you get it to grow everywhere like that? My pompom seems to have hit a plateau in growth, ...

 

[cristhiam]

They kept goint into the MJ and getting chopped I had a lot more on the 55 but it's taking over the 125. I'm really trying to get them out of the rocks and just cover back of the tank and side with it, it is such a pretty coral but at the same time a real pain, the only corals that keeps them trimmed is the frogspawn, torch, goni, the purple tip acro (just grows around it) and hydropora. It will go right over zoos, candy canes, digitatas, bubble coral and some others. I have 2 species of xenia the pulsing one and elongata (elongata is the easies to remove for some reason)

This is what the 55 looked like
