I don't think I updated this thread while I was home for the weekend,but the tank looked amazing. Just a little bit of thin and light hair algae on a frag.

Growth was good,a bunch of frags have popped off head,some haven't good.

I did get a single polyp of WWC Superstar,BSA Sticker Shock and TDF Shazam all for $30.

I want a bigger cube but I am going to let everything grow for awhile.

I actually never sumped this just using a AquaClear 30 with carbon and zeo media as filtration. Unfortunately I didn't have any room to sump yhe tank but still have all the pvc and fittings.

But thank you for the follow. Hopefully I don't disappoint lol.

Well got home Wednesday and well the tank was nothing short of a disaster. Flat worms and GHA EVERYWHERE. Did a good little cleaning,tried to get the bigger clumps of GHA out,sucked majority of flat worms out.

I did get some new frags from LRO for Black Friday. 2 more polyps of Sticker Shock,LRO Rocket Fuels and Candy Apple Pinks,3 Acan's and a mushroom. Here are some cell phone pics of some stuff:

Those sticker shocks are gorgeous. Gotta add some of those to mine.

So here is a little update on the tank. Its chugging along. Still battling hair algae,a little bit of flat worms still but it is what it is.

Moves some things around,eveeything is growing though and sloooowly filling in.

Also,my wife broke my DIY light so I am now stuck with the Prime for now until I can get something different.

Man its been awhile since I have done an update on the tank. The tank is chugging along. GHA is gone,due to my pincushion destroying it. Things are still growing. I have only lost 1 frag and it was my Jubilee's unfortunately.

I still cannot keep nitrates in the tank to save my life. I'm sure if I could,things would grow better and look better. Some z/p's look amazing and some need some coloring up.

Here are some pics:
