Yes, still no water change though I did add a 50-gallon frag tank to the setup so there was water added to it.

I really can't quantify the amount of salt used as I had to set it up new in March when I moved homes and had subsequent QT sessions for new fish livestock.

Nice shot of the regal. Colonies still need to regain color from the lighting switch.

They are stunning visually! I've had regular percula clownfish for 7 years now and honestly only ended up with these frostbite clowns because I bought a guy out when he left the hobby. I only wanted his corals but had to take the fish too and ended up selling all the fish but couldn't make myself sell these guys. So for now they are in the frag tank in anemone heaven until I get more fish back in the display and feel comfortable enough to introduce another pair of clowns to the tank.

Nothing has changed since startup mostly. A skimmer rated for double the capacity of the tank, a gfo reactor, a bio pellet reactor, and activated carbon. I did switch the lights from the ocean revive LEDs supplemented with T5 bulbs to and ATI fixture, 8 bulbs.

Uh oh, my old man memory is failing me... Which one?
I'm not good with names...the day I was there last and was on the back side looking at the tank it was center of the tank about halfway up from the bottom. Seems like it was a pale purlpe flesh with cream / white polyps.
