Emmett,
Beautiful tank. Its so healthy and vibrant. Ya, the fundamental of keeping water quality excellent is very important and you tank is a great example of that. If I could only be as diligent
It's great that you have a rose anemone that live so harmoniously in your tank. I think they are beautiful but did not want one because in the tanks Ive seen they move around alot. Im wondering whether they move alot in tanks that have varying water paramters.
Great job! Look forward to your future tank threads.

Do you have any problems with your Frogspawn killing your SPS? I used to have a LPS/ Softie tank, but we had a horrible ice storm in Oklahoma about a year ago, and I lost everything in my tank due to a week-long power outage. I started over with an emphasis on SPS, but I miss the movement from my frogspawn, torch, hammer, etc.
I didn't think I could combine SPS with agressive LPS, but maybe there is hope? I have the same footprint as your tank, just a smidge taller to make it approx 105 gallons. Your tank is beautiful, and it's so nice to see a smaller tank win TOTM.
Congrats!

Hey thanks! Yeah the anemone has never moved not really sure why, he is way up top and getting really big. Don't know about the varying water parameters but that is something to think about.

Great tank ... quick question what is the coral that is in the pic with the blue damsel in the totm page? the colony is to the left in the main view of the tank its teal and blue looks to me to be a type of echino? I have some of the same coral and havent been able to classify it and was wondering if you might be able to help.
Any direction would be great!
Keep up the beautiful tank and love the multicolored caps!

Dude, I joined just to say that I have read your TOTM a dozen times and I know I already told you in a message but it seriously is the best tank I have ever seen!
I hope my tank makes it to that point one day!
I have LPS in my sps tank and they even touch each other without burning each other. The only one that definitly stings is the long tenticle aussie torch... he stings everything. But my normal torch touches my hammer and my frogspawn and they are all fluffy as can be. I use carbon also.
Again, I couldn't say it enough and have showed alot of people your tank... it's the best tank I have ever seen!
Keep it up Em!!!!

Thank you so much for the compliment. Some of my lps touch too and no problems but my hammer and frogspawn goes after a lot. Also have to keep an eye on the blue chalice, its got long and very hard to see stingers. Hope your tank gets there, I tried to included everything I know in that article. No big secrets here, the longer I do this the more I believe that photo period is key, knowing when corals are getting just enough light to keep all happy.
Thank you for meeting up with me and letting me have a chance to pick out some corals! They all acclimated well and I put them where you told me. I am extremely happy with the choices. I took pictures of before so I can send you before and afters in a year or so when I get back.
Thank you so much Emmett!!!!!!!!!!!!
