Man… what a crazy hobby this is?! A lot of stress and late night researching. A lot of question asking and random theory testing. I recently, maybe temporarily defeated a bad Dino outbreak. That was so nerve wracking that it almost took me out the game LOL. It’s real what they say.. avg time span people spend in this hobby is under a year. I’ve dealt with deaths, Cyano, Dino, ich and scary parasites I wasn’t prepared for in these 8 months. All to say, it’s been a great 8 months. Once a battle is won, the feeling of success and proud husbandry just warms me up lol. I wanted to share some shots I took tonight. I’m really happy with where my tank is heading. The aesthetic coral layout alongside the rockscape is finally coming to life. Now only prayers to keep things stabile and this ecosystem happy. But boy is this hobby beautiful. I love all 100 of my frags individually lol. Hopefully will see some growth soon!

Looks good, those Atlantiks will grow any acro you put uunder them. The key is stable Alk make sure you have it dialed in before you add acros. LPS aren’t as picky and a lot of other SPS will handle swings but many acros let you know by bleaching and dying.

Good luck

Your tank is looking amazing for only having it for 8 months!
