Man, that 24k acanthos is an amazing standout coral among standout corals! The anthias really bring it all together, too.Got 6 / 7 fish in one picture!
sorry if i missed it but what's your media/filtration setup/schedule like other than the algae scrubber please? thanks again!

thank you for the detailed answer - fw is freshwater? do you monitor sg? cryptic filtration sounds like a dead cover band!There basically is none
Overflow —>
chamber 1 in sump - heater —>
Chamber 2 in sump is normally refugium chamber. I have 3” live sand, scrubber, rest filled with live rock. This is my cryptic filtration section - it’s dark, and houses pods, sponge, dead coral skeleton, dusters, bristle worms, possibly a gorilla crab —>
—> media shelves between 2 and 3 - 2 bags chemipure, 1 bag matrix, couple bio blocks —>
Chamber 3 - return pump and live rock —> back to display
Schedule…algae scrubber lighting is on a timer, 18 hours a day.
My only maintenance is Once every 7-10 days I take our a handful of algae and throw it out. Once every 3-4 days I clean the display glass. Once a week I add 2g fw with all for reef.
Every 3-4 months I replace the chemipure, I buy them in 6 packs

amazing!! love them all!!New Cynarina trio decided to be golf balls today. Monster tentacle golf balls lol
And did some rearranging, I think the orange acantho will look great in the new spot once it inflates fully
Moon coral is adapting well and displaying some yellow in the ridges
I don’t really photo this often because I feel it’s a nuisance, but I also have a crazy blue sponge that’s about 10” tall and 6” wide. It just started growing out of a rock about 2 years ago, and if any part of it touches something, it attaches. I’m always having to pry it off, reposition, or tear off pieces to throw in my sumps cryptic zone. I keep wanting to throw the whole thing in the sump…but it’s kinda grown on me and is unique
Low maintenance is working for you!
