Here’s a short video (no music) of the tank as it is today and just over 2 years old

It should be in HD depending on your download speed

Thank you @siggy !

Well having googled what a lobo coral is (lol!) the pink one seems to be certainly and maybe the green one is as well. My brain doesn’t ‘compute’ coral names for some reason!

Everything is doing fine with the tank.

I’ve started to use extra filter wool as I’m trying to keep the Rhowaphos reactor from clogging up with debris as it’s fed from the main return pump and chamber.

I’ve got some wool just after the skimmer and I’ve added a second piece wedged in the return chamber. It’s quiet effective and is very ‘brown’ by the time I change it roughly every week.

If your wondering what the elastic band is, it’s to hold up the built in ATO float valve when I do a water change. And the rubber washer belongs to the return hose pipe, and I forgot to put it in! Lol

Here’s an up to date photo of the sump and life support!

Well it’s growing, I think slowly, and it’s still alive so it’s also hardy Simon! Lol

It’s an unusual looking coral but very beautiful

 

[SPR1968]

Something else rather unusual.....

 

[SPR1968]

I added a Tomini Tang about 4 weeks ago, he’s very small, about an inch long, and very sweet.

He hid in the rocks for the first 2 weeks and I thought I’d lost him. He was getting some serious bullying from the usual Coral Beauty bully of the tank!

He’s now all settled in and eating well and swimming around and hence I’ve been able to get a few pictures of him.

I was meaning to say I love these colors. Is this a Platygyra?

EDIT: and beautiful fish!

 

[najer]

LOL. I still prefer scientific names to trendy names. Looks like no names is working quite well for you.
