Out of curiosity, what’s the fish stock now? Your tank has such a variety of corals along with fish.

Not much has changed since the reef of the month write up except for losing the Whitetailed Kole Tang, sad day that was such a beautiful specimen. I'm looking for another one now.

Such a shame to hear about that WT. It really was a display fish.
Have you had a shot at SPS yet? I bet your tank will grow them so well with the true natural sunlight

Yes it does get better and better! Also did you see you tank in the BRS video and how Ryan fawned over it?

Wait...What!? Where?!

There was a video they made where they talked about the lights of 10 featured tanks on Reef2Reef and your tank was one that they talked about!!

Yes, that Whitetail was a beauty. No not yet but now with the holidays behind I will be looking try a few frags of SPS again. My neighbor messaged me the other day asking if I want some free large branches of Bali green slimer acropora. Hes says he just chops them off and tosses them in the woods.

Definitely get a frag of that!
That is my number one acro to any natural tank. They’re so easy and when they aren’t under heavy blues, they go a beautiful dark green. The only downside is you can actually see their growth, i remember my frag went from being 4” tall to almost 5” tall after just 2 weeks.
I think I have the skeleton of it somewhere (I tend to keep the skeletons of corals I own because they’re just so precious).

The Bali green slimer is my favorite coral. I have some expensive corals and it is crazy how they all pale in comparison to something I paid 20$ for.

And it will be a really nice green even without the blues that most corals need to look good.
