Tank settling in nicely. Added a color matched wire chase on the left to hide the cables from the lights and Vortechs.

I can’t figure out why photos are getting compressed so much when I upload.

3 Tangs, 5-6 Blackfoot trochus, and 1 monster marble shelled unknown snail the size of a plum. He’s like 5+ years old!

I have been keeping up on cleaning all 3 panes every 2-3 days as the coralline will get out of hand VERY quickly. That’s part of why it looks so clean. Silly me setting up an acrylic tank knowing how much faster coralline takes to plastics ‍♂️

That's great. Either I'm blind or the tangs hate the camera. You're coralline growth on the rocks looks really nice.

Thanks Tim. It was pretty cool when I moved all the rocks over every inch of every rock was solid purple.

I think all the fish were hiding in the last pic because I just cleaned the glass…

Thanks!

Switched bulbs so both sunrise/sunset bulbs are Coral Plus for a more natural look, and so my living room doesn’t have such an off putting blue glow in the evenings.
