Love it! We recently started one of these but it's still tiny, only a few eyes. How's it like the high phosphate? Ours seem to speed up when the phosphate is higher, but the tank as a whole doesn't seem to so we aim for less.

Ya, nasty sweeper tentacles at night, I’ve had to frag it a few times. High nitrates and phosphates haven’t seemed to bother it. I try to keep nitrates around 15 and phosphates around.05-.1, but by some odd reason, I haven’t added anything in a long time, Bryopsis showed up and I haven’t done a water change coming up on 3 weeks. I usually do a weekly 12.5% water change. Those were my latest numbers from Sunday.

Great pics. That Taiwan Rainbow is beautiful. Most yellow eyed one I see don't have the purple rim as well. What is that yellow torch on the top left?

Two space invaders in a 10 gallon nano. The one on the right is about 10x14 inches. The one on the left is looking for a new home Both grown from quarter size frags over 2-3 years.

Salinity is 1.025. Have never tested any other parameters.

Green with yellow eye = space invader
Green with yellow eye and the purplish ring is raja rampage

The torch is a banana holy grail

Better pic of the ring, white spectrum turned up a bit

Great color. I though for sure it was a CC24k, looks a lot like mine. We recently added a banana grail to the grow out, but it's much more orange than yours. Need to grab some pics sometime, but here's some of my CC24ks though.
