That hammer is huge. Did you buy a big colony or it grow out that big for you?

That purple hammer was actually a gift from a fellow reefer which had atleast 10 heads when i got it. Its not all connected but they have definitely fluffed out considerably since going in the tank.
Euphyllia and leathers seem to be my strongest growers in my system.

Just got back from vaca and my wife did an awesome job taking care of my tank

To boot, I've started getting coralline growth! Finally! Then I flooded our kitchen this morning when I left the RODI on hahaha!

Well the arduous exodus of moving my tank 100ft from my office to my living room is complete. During the process I took the opportunity to put fresh sand in as some amphidinium were popping up, did a 20gallon water change, rearranged the rock scape a little bit (which is great because now i have some more real estate), and now everything seems happy except my BTA's which are moving around trying to find a new spots.

Things I plan to add in the nearish future:
- Blenny- debating between an algae, starry, or midas...
- Pair of Royal Gramas
- Elegance Coral
- Green or orange frogspawn
- A few more Scolys
- A few more fungia plates
- And its time for a clam

My tank was beautiful before, but now it’s elegant!!

Tank looks great bro. My tank is 1.month behind u but gettin cyano right now. Super annoying

Bummer of a day… my oldest torch and my elegance kicked the bucket. I have no idea why. Parameter’s are on point other than nutrients a touch on the high side. Sigh…

Well 4 new zoas, a button scoly, and a favia came today so that helps.

Balance baby.

Have you checked for euphyllia eating flatworms?

Keko21 · Jul 27, 2023

I’ve got BTA’s, hammers, torches, huge duncan colonies, massive leathers…nope. Goofball likes the zoas lol

Time for a little tank update:
- dinos defeated via silica dosing yay!

- during the battle no coral casualties, although a few of my zoas are less than pleased - yay!

- rhodactis is splitting yay!

- my heater just died booo. Tank is steady at 74*f and ill have a new heater tomorrow.

- on of my little clowns died during dino tx

- parameters are stellar!

- my refugium is a place of terror but is teaming with life. I just let the hair algae have it, but there are pods, worms, snails, 1 small aiptasia somehow, which is about to get nuked. It is functioning wonderfully as a fuge, but it is ugly lol

Bye buddy

Ok I’m due for an update! Heres a tank vid:

Take a good look because I’m going to be doing a lot of rockscaping this weekend to make more room. My Colt coral is a beast right now so it will be getting a frag haircut since it’s starting to block light at the top:

My BTA’s are beautiful right now but multiplying rapidly and taking up realestate since they like walking around quite a bit- always the same rock but i feel like that space could be better utilized.
