I added the Purple Tang a few days ago, he's still more or less pinned to the bottom right hand corner as both powders who were once enemies are now BFFs and are now a tag team for giving him a hard time.

Your powder blue/brown are looking gorgeous.
So does the tank!

This is a fantastic shot capturing a variety of branching growth patterns. I was immediately drawn to it. The use of cooler colors I find very appealing. The way it sits on a bed of warmer colored supporting corals just blows me away. Truly art.

Thankyou for the very nice comment!

Some night time pics using my phone. I really like how the tank looks late in the evening. I wish I could just capture it correctly. Over the hols I'll try and get the good camera out for some decent pics.

Excuse the frags lying about. I'm constantly having to frag now to stop the corals growing into each other

Excellent pics, and the tank is looking wonderful. Definitely a cool shot of the coral warfare as well.

So last week I pulled out my whole algae bed. The caulapera algae had completely overgrown the chaeto and a dirty brown scum was on the top of the water. I had noticed my nutrients rise so I needed to take action. So the algae bed was pulled out and I got a handful of Chaeto from another reefer to grow out

Fast forward to today and a Yodel delivery driver just dropped off my my new sump light. The box came and I thought this looks a bit big for a bulb
