5 Gallon Euphyllia Reef

So I got a couple of strange growths in and around my Pavona's, not affecting anything but have only notices these now

Wow these came out awful on the PC, sorry about that

So I think that the Porous rock the Stomatella is emerging from in my above post is where they congregate. I must have witnessed 6 emerging from in that rock this afternoon, sadly was too slow with the phone to capture on camera.

The Palys at the front are forming new heads, i can count three, possibly four around the loose Polyp at the back, this is nearly touching the rock now so I am hoping it will transfer across

Also my Hermit crab has been transporting this GSP around the tank the past few days. I now have two GSP frags thanks to the Hermit. I might just see what happens to it where it is and attach the other half to the glass as planned

Anyone else play Hide and Seek with the Clean up Crew?

So While I like the reef, I do have a couple of things that are bugging me, firstly I need to sort a permanent solution to the Kessil Lighting. Ideally I would have the A80 on this rather than the 360WE but I hate the gooseneck.

The Hob is also irritating me to a degree as I can see the equipment which bugs me, so i am considering building a new system (with High Street Vouchers - Thanks Boris) which will mostly comprise of a 2.5G Coral Display and a 2.5G Display Fuge/Sump area.

I have a lot of the required equipment except the stand and the majority of the plumbing bits, and a DIY weir box.

For the sump i am thinking a very simple system. The tanks I plan on using are 31.5cm Wide, 13cm Deep and 18.5Cm Tall (W12.5x D5.125 x H7.25 inches) I would like the display section to be the widest part 31.5Cm so I want to introduce a simple baffle or series of baffles that will split the tank into the sump at the rear and a display area for the fuge at the front, possibly will require 3 sections I am at this moment unsure

I have had a quote for the Acrylic to be cut to size and delivered for £7.50 I will need to assemble the weir box and cut the weir comb myself but that saves approximately £25, which would sort me for rock and sand to start

The other thing I am unsure of is where I want to place my drains in the tank, what type of drain etc.
