Yeah that Green one was one of the first Corals I got. Sidenote there is a Gold Torch that has spawned from the one in front I think.

Well I have a couple new Equipment additions,

Replaced Nero 5, with Nero 3

An Below, Yes I know its very pricey but I'm now on third heater in 4 year, hope this one stops that cycle....

I am slow getting tank back in shape after getting earlier this year; Fish did well, lost some heads on my Hammers, Ricordea gone, Trach gone,

Other corals doing great....

The Helio heater was very easy to set up, plus it open for adding extra elements or large if need,

Nice to have various setting hi/low temp Also flow or even low water levels
