El Kae's Bonsai Lagoon 50

I normally don't care for LPS, but this lobo definitely caught my eye. Had to take it home.

Threw the porthole onto the camera and dunked it into the tank for some top-down macro shots of the polyps:

2020 update:


Well, shortly after the previous update, I made the decision to switch to Aquaforest's reef salt, and balling method. Literally after one water change, the tank took a turn and went to crap. First time ever, I had an outbreak of dynos. The combination of that and tank chemistry changing, and my corals started dropping like flies. I held on through October and November, trying to salvage what was still hanging on. Finally going into the holidays, I gave up and planned for a hard reboot going into the new year. Over the past 2 weeks, I've swapped out to a different sump and integrated UV into the return. Also got my hands on a Trident and have that hooked in to monitor the system. In the display, I pulled the previous scape and put in a new one. (not surprising for me lol) 2 weeks in and things have been holding stable. SPS wise, only the oregon tort and Cherry Bomb pulled through, though showing much battle scars. I swung by my cousin's and trimmed some of his corals to throw in as testers. So far so good. This hobby stresses me out haha.

I just found your thread, I'm sorry for your recent troubles with your tank. You're a very talented reefer, I'm sure you'll bounce back in no time. Your tank is beautiful, with one of the coolest scapes I've seen in a while.
