Thank you for watching such a long video. So kind of you to comment nicely. The tank is a bit more crowded looking since coral and macros have grown but it's still doing very well. I have lost a few of my older animals but last week I got 2 new fish and hope to get new shrimp in the next couple of months. I will try to clean the glass and take a new video update soon since it's been almost a year since the last one.
Aww, thank you for the kind words.
I think so too. I love how some sway and move with the flow, it so serene. There are some very nice colors, and although I have never had long term luck with them, some folks have gorgeous zoas!
Yeah it's very relaxing. I also love the plating sponge. My only concern is how fast I've heard they can grow. My local store sells theirs which is a similar blue plating sponge that has that classic plating montipora look a lot, but they have a concerningly large numbers of fresh looking frags of it usually haha.
Thanks Gumbies R Us! I always describe myself as a fish person first and then a macroalgae appreciator, and finally a struggling coral keeper! However, after about 25 years I have learned which corals I can keep and which ones are better in someone else's tank, LOL. Why frustrate myself with trying to keep something that languishes (in my tank) when there are easier choices that can flourish? So that is what I have done.
The sponge you are seeing at your local store is probably related to this purple sponge. I saw at the local store that I bought this one from that it took over one of their large tanks, after I had already purchased mine. So I am diligent about removing mine from places that it starts and I don't want it there. It is nice that I can rip a large section off to give someone and 2 months later it's beautiful again.
