Great work, what camera do you use? Excellent photos!

Love that Acropora turaki

This is my favorite acro!
The most recent photos (signed "The Iwagumi Reef") are made with Canon EOS 500D 22-55mm objective.

Not, It has had very little growth...I´m surprised too.

my linkia is 2-3 years in my tank and has very little growth.

Where, where???? :lmao:
For 2-3 weeks, all my trochus babies are in a separate container and the aquarium there are 7-8 adults only ... no more problems since then! :lol2:

I think it was a reflection on one of the most recent pictures.

Looking great.

 

[Acronic]

well there is the reflection of the mp40 ontop of a trochus but there is a small one on the bottom of the pump if you look close!

How do you like your white tiger goby? Any special care requirements? I think your tank is awesome and I aspire to someday have as much diversity in my system as you do!

It,s a very hard fish eats meat, frozen, dried, etc. and requires no special care, except a quiet aquarium unfortunately it is very shy. It´s a great addition!

Some pictures of the last few months ... soon I'll post actual photos! (general and corals)

Any crabs...My pair of N. Maculatus:

Trapezia sp. :

Clibanarius Tricolor:

Trochus spawn naturally, I saw a trochus spawn a few days after starting the new tank, (before I saw them spawn several times in my old tank but never got to see babies). I had 8-9 adult trochus, and many hermith crabs too, (25-30) but it´s small paguristes cadenati and clibanarius tricolor. They are absolutely safe for snails, even with babies.
I will put you photos of the sump in another message.

You sure those are Trochus babies? Look a whole lot like Collonista snails to me. If you see them getting bigger than about 1 cm then they may be trochus, but look very much like the Collonista snails that pop up in my tanks.

BTW, very nice looking tank!
