@najer your tank is stunning from any angle.

That is fantastic, Simon!

Thank you.

@najer your tank is stunning from any angle.

Thanks.

Might have just returned from the lfs with a £25 sps frag!?

 

[najer]

Before, the remains of the ssc will come out and be fragged, I hate losing corals!

I checked the photo, zoomed in and found a lot of corals, but only 2 fish.
Your tank looks great, Najer!

Thanks, result, it's my tank and I came up with 2 as well!

New addition placed, I will get a wider pic once things have settled a bit!

Acro photo dump, all on the floating island.
I have had this for about 2 years, lots of downs and some ups!

Anacropora re positioned for the second time, you don't want to see the glue around the base!

New guy, it had me at the mauve tips!

Basically the Dis Waltney is doing this on all sides.

Horizontal acro hit the deck a few days ago, sting damage recovering slowly.

One week in with the red dragon, still a week or so to go that it might let go still!
Love the flesh!

Just put the RW 8 on "else" mode, I have been ramping the flow up slowly for weeks, way more sps flow and the lps still ok so far!

Just tried that with my new ow25 and I could have surfed the waves.. lol

Max lights, well puffed up, give it a break, you'd look a bit pale too if you were that stretched!

Lol!!

Are you kidding me... ;Joyful

You had me at dump.

Hopefully the new little purple thing has coloured up a bit when I get home from work.

You know that moment your heart just sinks!?
Yes aefw, all my acros bar one are on the floating island rock, there could be a lot of dipping going on.

Funny how things pop up in your mind.
Back to the original design of the tank, a lot of thought went into the design including the size of the swim through hole.
Firstly the largest rubber seal I could get my hands on was a 70 - 75 mm seal.
The plan was that I could always isolate the two sides if needed but in theory, disease aside, even longer story, I shouldn't really need to!
Due to the extra flow in the display there is always a positive flow into the cube end so anything in the cube end has to go down past the refugium and then up into the display at a lower concentration due to both returns running in the same section.

Everything that needs it will get a heavy duty dip and then be put in the cube end!

Oh and I will be trying another wrasse.

[najer]

And no, getting the Dis Waltney off the scape in one piece is never going to happen, too encrusted!

 

[Fudsey]

Oh no ! ! ! !

That really bites Simon.....

 

[NY_Caveman]

Sorry Simon. There is always something testing us in the reef, right?

 

[Janci]

That sucks.
Especially with the encrusted corals.
A well chosen hungry wrasse might bring a solution.
Good luck

Thanks all, I will call my lfs later, they had a nice silver belly in on Sunday, I'll pick it up after work if they still have it.
