Nice looking tank! I love the scape. It has came along very nicely.

Month later:

All new corals are OK. Apart to Alveopora which is having a hard time.

There was no update for some time. So here it is.
I am waiting for some stock to arrive soon, also will add MOW-9 circulator at the back left to blow stuff to overflow.

Clownflish killed three mates... Clownfish are bad fishes...

about six months from a dry rock start.

 

[MikeCRK]

Seems I had poor circulation causing most of my problems in the past. I added MOW-9 and so far I am very very happy!

 

[MikeCRK]

I had to dimm the light to 70%, seems that AI bar is a bit too strong.

I also added some coarse sand at front to counter the MOW-9.

The corals on the right are waiting to be moved to the rockwork.

some shots:

Got it yesterday, today new tiny heads emerged:

three weeks in, and keeps on smiling:

Great pics! Looks like more flow is the right move.

I added an island on the right.

@MikeCRK I love your tank! What a great setup and everything has done so well in your care.. well done my friend.

And you have just that one Grow bar on there? It looks awesome, and I'm going to consider those when/if I upgrade my lights.

That’s come on really nicely.

hey!

Yes, it runs on one grow bar, which in fact I had to tune down to 45% as it was burning corals on the higher setup.
