I have 4 pieces of this and this piece is in higher light and flow and is getting taller, I need to move the other bits. :)

Yes my water is not clear, yes I am still losing sps, 2 bags of carbon running the big sinularia appears to have finished sheding today, I put the cave gobies in with only a little research, non of it said they act like they have with me, basically they have set off a mini cycle.

The tank is under general maintenance, most acros are letting go, time to get back to the basics, the cave gobies are here to stay, my bad, this is the first time in four years something has dealt out more than the "system" can cope with I feel humbled, I am so sad for the animals I have lost over the past month or so.

I frickin' love music, I don't function without it! :)


Just turn the knob at max and lean back in your chair. Good if you look at the tank too :)

When you absorb music, a lot of feeling in that track! :)

I finally decided on the position of the finger rock yesterday, first monti moved into place and the chalice placed in slightly less light.

Where the front touches the branch below it is a flat area, I am going to place one of the LA Lakers bits there. :)

I will be watching this for bleaching, from the front.
I have 3 or 4 bits of this growing out but this was the piece in the highest light already.
I am a sucker for nice shaped frags, 4 inch piece now. ;)
I have 4 more colours to add around it but a couple need moving to more light first. :)

Simon I’m so sorry for your problems, safe to say we all feel your pain :( I couldn’t believe how fast my tank went down hill when my Talbots started their digging spree and I only have like a inch of sand, makes me want to go bare bottom!

Thanks, basically they have managed to get all my leathers to sulk and shed at the same time, I thought the system was pretty robust, the carbon is helping and things are slowing down.
I never felt smug, it is what it is, I do feel humbled, I designed the system, something I added shifted the balance, a few corals and my clam have been removed, I had to up the flow to clean the leathers.
Once it settles I will find a direction to go, it won't be acros!

Despite your struggles the tank looks amazing! I have resisted leathers in my new reef because of bad past experiences with some of them, they can pollute a tank very quickly when mad. Carbon should help a lot, I personally think it‘s only really effective for a few days at best so IMO it needs to be replaced frequently.
