I like it a lot! @Chibils, do you have a 6g Edge? If so, let's see it!

I do, but it's been broken down for a few years. I'd love to set it up as a reef! Yours is looking sharp, it's really tempting!

It's been so fun!

Update time....all going great!

During my routine tank maintenance, I decided to dip my Zoas that had been giving me issues. Two days past and they're opening like I've not seen them before- they look great and showing a bright green! Here they are with one of my Acans and my little dragonfaced buddy

I LOVE your pipefish. :)

I LOVE your pipefish. :)

I've grown really attached to him, too! He has so much more personality and is so much more active than what I've read about them!

4.10 update.....still working on getting brown algae under control, water clear though and looking great, fish happy, added two new corals.

A great chunk of sun coral and some sort of branching torch (maybe?)

You can train your sun coral to come out in the day. That one is very big and looks healthy. That is a great find
The branching looks kind of like frogspawn but it might be torch. you will be able to tell when it opens up.

Really nice additions! I think the second one is a torch too. :)

I've been reading a lot about them and hope to keep it happy. I've been looking for one to go on the center rock where I've placed it so I'm excited to live with it. Any experience with sun coral? Any tips? :)

Thanks! Pics are so hard on the iPhone but they both look pretty cool and really add to the tank.

Just make sure it gets plenty of food on a regular basis.

Looks good man, I am just starting I have a 65 and I used 2 blocks of music shrimp one under different rocks and a bacteria in the bottle cause I had to spend more to use my card getting water so figured it wouldn't hurt help just help with a little boost.

Here a pic I have on my phone

New coral update....got my new sun coral to eat some mysis tonight, using the ole' bottle trick. Worked like a charm. Here she is all fat and happy after feeding. So cool to see!

Tank update: Sun coral is doing so well, it's awesome. All other corals are looking great, too. EXCEPT for my new torch. It's only been three days, but he's not happy at all. All my params seem OK, I got the torch in moderate flow, can see him moving around in it, but one head is pretty much completely receded and the other two are sort of half-heartedly blowing in the breeze. Tricky corals! Any tips for torch success?
