New member, long time reef owner

[millered]

Just joined the forum but have been keeping saltwater and reef tanks for over 25 years. My tank is a custom built in 135 gallon display reef setup which has been running for close to 20 years. I have a Neptune Apex running everything and keep adding more functions to it. Lights are a pair of Radion G5 x15s.

I'm currently working on building a new sump as the old one is showing signs of ageing after many years in service. I'm trying to improve the design while I'm at it to be more service friendly and fit my current equipment better.

Even though I've been at this a while, I figure I can always learn new stuff which is why I'm here.

really nice tank, I love the monti colony!!

It's nice but tends to grow out of control Same with most of my corals. I am looking to rehome some of the Hammer coral as well.

On the bright side at least you know your coral love your tank

Welcome! I was going to say, thats one of the larger hammers I've seen so far. Are those three (?) pieces from one original frag? It bleeds into the GSP (?) in the photos so I can't fully tell

 

[millered]

There are three smaller ones and the larger original colony. The small pieces are each about 4"x6" the main colony is about 6"x10". Its a scroll type hammer so a bit harder to break down into small frags hence the large pieces to rehome. I had to do some re-aqua scaping a while back to deal with it as it was starting to crowd the front glass. It is a lot of green right now, I'd like to get some more colour variation once I free up the space. The GSP is another battle to keep from overtaking the whole tank.

I guess excessive coral growth it is a good problem to have.
