Dude you need to get some more fish.

 

[CeruleanLegacy]

Thank you! Unfortunately it doesn't quite look this nice anymore.

@powers2001, I used to have several fish, but the snowflake ocellaris pair were enough for this soft coral hobbyist. I may try other fish later on.

Turns out I couldn't put all the images in one post.

And this concludes the evolution of the tank. Maybe I will post a photo showing the de-evolution. Unfortunately I've been battling a terrible HA infestation that is only now getting better, as well as a cyano bloom. H2O2 dosing and a suitable CUC has been instrumental in getting this under control. I will try to update this regularly.
