Some new additions

Finally got rid of my long spined sea urchin. Once the tank was clean it started eating clove polyps. Then moved on to blastos, acans, and montipora. I was feeding it strips of nori every other day, but it wasn't enough to keep it satisfied.

Thanks for sharing. Labor of love.

Started a pico with some rock and water from my mixed reef. The addiction is real:D

Also an updated full tank shot. Actually I've moved some stuff around after this. I just cant keep my arms out of the tank!

I'm with you there, I started with this awesome IM Nuvo 40 and already need larger.

Made the switch from halide and t5s to all leds. Less heat = less algae and evaporation. So far so good!

I love the broken conch shell in your tank! Looks awesome with the coralline and zoas growing on it!

That's insane growth! Have you posted your tank, equipment, and dosing specs??

Standard 30gal tank, no sump.
Modified hob Coralife Super Skimmer 65 and a hob filter with a surface skimmer attachment. I've tried an algae reactor for a while without great success, so now I'm working on a hob refugium.
Generic wavemaker.
I'm using Fritz Reef Pro Salt, but I'll probably switch back Red Sea Coral Pro.
I dose Reef Fusion 1 and 2. 10ml of each, but on alternating days. Part 1 one day part 2 the next. NOPOX 2ml a day. Everything really exploded when I started dosing Aquavitro Fuel.
I just switched from halides to leds. Custom spectrum 300w MarsAqua. Everything is still adjusting, but the halides were amazing for growth.
Real live rock and sand. Some of the rock was dry, but most was bought live.
I run activated carbon with a little Seachem Phosguard mixed in.

Acans are happy too!
