What a difference a year makes

Was browsing through some older photos from last fall after taking a few photos this week and noticed that some of these sticks have really gotten big. I really need a bigger tank! Lost a few Acans along the way, never found out why, but everything now is doing well.

October 1 2019

October 5 2020

Specs:
RSR 170
Deltec Skimmer
Ecotech G4 and two AI Prime HD on about 60%
GHL dosing
Weekly water changes, TM Pro
After the MP10 did not like the sand, I gradually removed, now thinking about a montipora bottom.

Cheers!

Thanks!

The only downside to Acros is they need the flow, and MP10 and sand don't seem to mix well. Hopefully one day I can have more space for a larger tank because I really want to grow some larger colonies. I have kept reefs since the 1990's but this is my first full blown high tech SPS build.

Happy New Year Photo! (December 31 2020).

Awesome tank! Acans can be weird. When I worked at my LFS it seemed like every other year we would lose a few Acan colonies for no reason. Looking forward to seeing the tank in another year!
