Well, that is your secret sauce then!
Good job man, you know how to do it…

Hopefully my tank will reach the level of yours one day

Thanks. Just keep things stable and try not to overthink it I guess and things will stabilize over time.

Oh wow,that is insane !!! Looking amazing,seems to be its time to start fragging haha. Everything been going smoothly ?

Its so rewarding seeing what can come of a reef with the simple steady routine huh ? And people think its so hard lol.

Yea I am dreading fragging, gonna be so finicky and hard. I have everything glued to 2 big rocks nothing else so there's no real easy way around it. I have to do it though because there's a few awesome SPS that are getting crowded out, most notably my orange passion that is getting squished between the Pink Cadillac and Shazam.

Any photos under whites?

Here are a couple just took now. Turned white to about 40% on the Prime.

I actually lost that piece early on. It fell into another coral before it fully encrusted and it lost too much to grow it back.

I didn't even know there was a OP in there lol. You shouldn't need to remove the rocks to frag. Just clip a few nice soze pieces off eveey colony.

Really nice looking tank. Watch out for those Nirvana's. They out competed a lot of stuff in my tank, finally had to remove them.

Curious - do you still run the UV sterilizer?

I actually had them take over and then recede. Not sure why but I’m ok with it.

I do run it 24/7. Although the bulb is probably pretty close to running its course. Jury is out if it is doing anything but it definitely helped me wipe out dinos early on.

I really regret not getting the 14g Nuvo. The extra space between my 2 rocks would be awesome right tanks.

No changes to scape or anything just a bit more depth to work with.

I think it always pans out like that. You never think you'd need the room and expect acro's to grow that fast and then BOOM it seems like over night everything is fighting for room lol.
