Picked up a better lense today, I updated my Nano’s thread with photos but really, the best photos came from the heavy blue 4’ tank :)

And just for a comparison photo. Here’s one without any lense of my Ricordea;

Well… Water Change Day struck. My rock scape is rather close to the front of the tank and I’m sure many know I don’t like giving my fish too little swim room. Sooo, It happened :)
New Rock Scape!!
FTS’s to come, but here’s some top downs I got

The middle changed the most however there has been some minor moving on the left as well.
Here’s the new FTS against the FTS from yesterday.

The rock work and light almost resembles what you find here in the Florida Coast.

What’s the coral on the left side? The orange one that kinda looks like an anemone or leather?
I assume you mean this guy

He’s actually more of a pink in person with beautiful purple polyps. He is a Purple Sinularia (Photos don’t do them justice).

Or I guess you could tell me the names of both of em ;)

These are my Ricordea yumas. They’re what someone may say is rather invasive in this tank. But I just say it adds to the natural look, you’ll never get a coral that won’t grow into other coral’s business’.

Another Sinularia photo, I’m sure you’re all bored of this coral by now. I unfortunately don’t have much to update you on other than the growth of everything.

And just for the sake of it, a new plant I got today. The Christmas Cactus. Purely because my secondary hobby is house plants and I have a collection of quite a few.

I love Christmas cacti! Are you able to get them to rebloom? I never could.

Now I want to see this plant collection of yours.

I actually don’t know, this is my first time owning one however I’ve been told they do rebloom every year.

They do, there's actually 3 varieties that look very similar.

Also, if you guys are interested then I can always show off my collection of plants every so often :)

It’s a mix and mash of Aroids such as Monstera and Succulents/Cacti such as Sanseveria and the Christmas Cactus.

I'm always game for plant spam. I might have a little myself.
