This tank is breathtaking, holy crap! I have so much to live up to now. Very well done!

They are all a little crammed in there while I wait for my other tank to finish being funky. This is actually two tanks worth of coral right now!

Ahh, makes sense. Regardless, looks pretty sweet!

Very nice tank, but better pictures! Mind me asking what you're shooting on?

I haven't posted in a while because I lost a ton of corals due to what I assume must have been a toxin. Started with the ricordea melting, moved to the LPS and finally the SPS. I was able to save about 1/4 of the coral. I've been restocking steadily for the past month, and then the other day noticed some bristle worms munching on my frogspawns and clove polyps. Added a sixline today and have been manually removing them as well.

Slow and steady wins the race!

Did you lose that beautiful rainbow hammer?

Bummer to hear, this was a packed looking tank. Following along for your restock.

Sorry to hear about the die-off!

Your photos look awesome by the way.

I did! Luckily I was able to save my orange stem hammer

I'm planning on adding a couple wall hammers to my other tank, once its looking nice, I'll probably add photos to this thread as well.

Love that clown pic!

Just some updated shots. I've had a plague of chitons which have been eating my ricordea and zoanthids (but they don't bother the palys). I've been pulling them out as I see them, and luckily the corals are recovering. Getting excited to head to Reefapalooza in Orlando. Not sure where I'll put anything else but I'm sure I'll find some room!

Very inspiring. Beautiful. There is always room for just one more coral, right?
