By this point my tank had been running just how it is in the picture for almost 2 months and I took this picture a day before I went to get my first coral. I still didn’t have a light.

I took these pictures of my tank before I went to my local shop yet again for more coral. I had noticed a lot of growth from my original coral.

I went to get my coral and came out with 4 new frags, absolutely loved the way it looked here, still didn’t have my brown algae coming in.

New Orphek lenses came in the mail today, was finally able to show off my new purple/pink coral. Cleaner crew and new coral were added yesterday, just took the chance to take a picture today. (Blue tinted picture is without the ophek lenses and more clear bright photo is with, also added a picture of the new coral I bought)

Black vinyl came in today, added the second power head along with the vinyl. This weekend should be getting more coral or shrimp along with hopefully some rock,

Added 3 new coral and glued my GSP to a rock in the back to isolate it a little. Moved around some coral to accommodate the new ones that came in and lowered the flow on my power heads. Currently have GSP, Goniopora, flowerpot coral, fungia, candy cane coral, long stem Zoas and normal Zoas, toadstool and Xenia.

Looks good. Those zoas really glow.

Looks good. Those zoas really glow.

I knowww, I like them a lot but they’re pretty small for right now, you may be talking about my flowerpot coral though
