125g long reef build

[blackhawk86]

This is my 125 reef Build its about 6 months old now. You can view he whole process here https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/members/blackhawk86/albums/new-tank-125g-reef/

At this point i had the sump running the lights on and power head just to start mixing the salt in. If you look to the left you can see a fail attempt at a fuge that i tried to through together. I got rid of that and run a cpr HOB fuge now just to grow pods for the Mandarin

I did a water change today and while i was looking around I noticed my carnation trre coral wasnt looking so hot. I think is was getting to much light where it was so i moved it to a little cave close by. Does this look like the correct action to take to fix the skin erosion problem?

the elegance opened wide today after the change.

my green flower pot

Ive had these forever and they never seem to grow i read in another post that the polps have to touch the rock there on and cant be raised up a little for them to spread anyone know if this is true?

I decided to finally install my HOB fuge today but i stuck it on the side instead for easier access.

I tried to get a pic of the crabs in that live in the coral but there had to get you can kinda see them.

let me know what you think and if anyone has answers to the questions send them my way.
