KNix10 - IM20 build

[Knix10]

Did a little re-scape...or rather add-scape. I've had some issues with stuff getting within close proximity and hindering growth. Decided to add another rock to the bottom right to let some stuff grow out.

why the tiles on the bottom?

I plan on placing montipora or cyphastrea on the bottom. The tiles will allow me to easily remove as they grow and sell frags as well as keeping stuff from growing up on main rock. I also have a gyre in the corner. If I put in sand it would just blow around unfortunately.

Was able to pick up a frag of this beauty on Monday. I don't plan to go crazy on the acros, but there are definitely a few I'd like to acquire throughout the life of this tank.

Acro frags have been doing well lately and are completely healed. I'll have to get some pictures of them soon. I've been eyeing this piece at a local shop for awhile. The owner threw me a deal so I had to take it. I've always had a soft spot for smooth skins. Didn't plan on doing any colonies but appears that this quarantine is just full of surprises.

This one's going to turn out nice. Tried to get a frag but he wanted to sell the entire thing... Seems to be a reoccurring theme.. probably because I go to the same vendor

Neglecta has been opening up nicely. Giving it less light than before and stuck it in the corner of the tank. Pushing about 4" now, but it still has a long way to go.

View never gets old from this angle

You have acquired some great pieces. The acropora appear to be thriving. Once the acro bug bites it is hard to resist.

Great looking corals. Pictures and color looks superb.

Thanks so much!

Couldn't agree with you more. My tanks always end up being SPS dominant by the time I fill them up

My hope for the left side of the overhang is to be filled with Licksplitters and Gonzos. Beach Bum and CrazyT are finally starting to grow over the frag plugs and plate out. They didn't do anything for the first year but finally seeing some good growth.

Have had this in the collection for awhile now. hoping the mottling continues throughout.

Berghia stock finally replenished. Had to age some breeders (pictured) and upgrade the system. Fortunately these guys help pay for most of my maintenance costs.
