Did you use the picture trick to help the clowns host or did they do it on their own? Gorgeous tank. I can't wait to my 5g tank starts to mature.

I've been running skimmerless/filterless on my 45 cube for about two months now, do 1g daily water change and very little dosing. Definitely like the defiance of going skimmerless ;)

Thanks guys! Will be adding some manual filtration to be able to do some surface skimming amongst their things.

Gsp (green start polyps). Plan is to let it grow over the Rock is on top of now then seperate from the other rock work to prevent it from spreading all over.
Very smart on the green star polys. Wish I thought of that with my Xenia.

I'm hoping it will cover the hair algae on that rock. I wanted the pulsating Xenia but the stories kept me away. I love the gsp so I will try to keep it under control.

Sorry for the late reply but I didn't try anything. I was gonna let the anemone settle in before I tried anything and wishing the first week they were trying it out. The anemone has been moving this week. They recently started hosting the torch corals also.

Anemone has been on the move. It would move a few inches then back again but this time it's going for a longer walk.

Currently I have the blues at 100% and whites at 90%. The blues are on for 8 hours and whites 6. The blues ramp up before the whites and down after the whites go off. The timing I just have it so that it turns off around the time I go to sleep.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
