120G Rimless shallow peninsula tank

[Janci]

No maintenance this week except for glass cleaning.
Took some pictures yesterday (will post soon) and around 11pm I realized there was no running water at the house.
Not so bad weren't it that my ATO is connected straight to the water tap/rodi and 6 hours later I had to get on a flight and i would be out for a couple of days.
No time to set up an extra ATO so dumped some extra water in the sump to have the level up, hoping it will be enough till I am back.

Some new goodies

2 new acans. My other shot of the upper one was not ok for publication...

In the end I got a small trachy.
I hope it does well.

This has been in the tank for a while.
Just need to find the right spot.
It almost died during the last months trouble is made a miraculous comeback.

Something is bothering this Aussie acro.
I think I saw a small gorilla crab but I am not sure. Due to the many branches it will be difficult to catch it.

 

[HolisticBear]

They look awesome.

Good luck with the ATO situation, dang travel curse.

And then the monthly FTS.

Thank you.
By tomorrow night my wife should be back. Luckily she can catch an earlier flight.
She can top up and hopefully someone can get the water pump issue solved.

This is the second time this happens right before travelling. Lol.

Beautiful FTS!

It looks like something is taking chunks out of the sps coral.

It must be a crab.
I know I have a big black one somewhere in the rocks but doubt this will be the culprit.
When back from travels it will be crab fishing time.

Some of the zoas.
The pictures are more to keep track of the growth. It seems the pack is getting bigger for each of them.
I followed @Rakie advice and got some Reef-Roids, trying to get them the steroids to grow.

 

[Rakie]

I love reef roids, so do my corals. Great experience with it so far. Growth in slower corals has picked up, growth in acans seems to have significantly picked up

Edit: I never fed my acans directly though!

 

[Janci]

The rose BTA's are expanding and getting bigger quickly.
And they are not coral friendly.

 

[Janci]

These are still pictures from couple of days ago.
I love the slightly green stripes on the middle stem where soon new polyps will pop up.

 

[SPR1968]

Beautiful pictures as usual and I love the FTS, very nice!

Looking good!! Is your first page up to date on current equipment? I havent been able to get through all 29 pages yet, but interested to hear your thoughts on the Matrixx you had in the beggining (or still have?)

Great pics, love that last acro.

The first page is not up to date.
You remind me I should do that in the upcoming days and add the latest FTS.

The Giesemann Matrix was replaced by Radions XR30's somewhere end of last year.
It turned out the PAR output was limited, even with 8 bulbs.
The fixture and its feature is easy to use.
I loved the light over the previous tank which was smaller.
Any questions you might have, just let me know.

King of the corner where is delivered...
The white spot on the dorsal fin, as well as the tail fin damage, is a remainder of some heavy wrestling.

And another bully

 

[Janci]

I could catch the crab which was bothering the coral.
When I returned from last week's travels, I found it on one of the staghorns where it was easier to catch.
It will do better in the sump for now.

Tomorrow I will need to do some water changes as I have been playing with the dosing pumps.
Turned out that over the last 4 days I have been dosing the double amount of aminos, which has resulted in the return of cyano on the rocks.
