The Tank! Picture intense

[Rogger Castells]

For those of you that has seen my tank in the last few months you probably know the ups & down of it, the tank has gone through a few crashes and partial crashes due to unforeseen or other stupid mistakes which are now fix or over with and I feel my tank has finally made a turn for the good and the invertebrates are showing the results.
I would like to give a special thanks to Chris Little AKA Chrisaggie for the many times that he came to see my tank, do test in the water, listen to my frustrations over the phone and at times be as clueless as I was but supportive, there was a few times that I felt like just giving up but I guess been as competitive as I am this challenge just got me more stubborn to turn it around and win.
I feel the tank is 99% back to normal; these pics were taken a few minutes ago enjoy and ask questions.

I know Rob had a few more at exotic aquatic if you are looking for more! What else did you ad fish wise...I know you said you had a bunch of wrasses you had planning on ordering...

 

[Rogger Castells]

There is actually a few more anthias which are not eating and there are many wrasses like the velvet you see in the pic, there is also a few flashers and a pair of solorensis, pair Lubocks, pair laboutei, pair of rosy scales, 1 Mystery and a few more that I am still waiting to see!

Thanks, That coral is not a purple monster, it is a Acropora lokani, I have two frags in that tray.

Two more pics,

These first one is of a table acro that I bought from reeflife about 1 year ago and I had no idea it was going to turn to this beautiful coral

This next one is a nice story, This is Miami Orchid originally owned by Ludwigia, this coral had been infested with acro eating flatworms and I took it to try to save it, treated it for a few weeks and got rid of all of this parasites before I introdced it to my tank, look how weel it has taken the treatment and is on its way to full recovery.
