Peekaboo! My Blue-green Damsels each have their own hidey holes in the rockwork where they sleep at night but sometimes they'll get spooked and retreat there during the day.

I've gotten a ton of new frags, here are some pics!
I also bought all new salifert/Hanna test kits to replace my crappy old ones and it's helping keep my water parameters where I want them. Found that my phosphates were too low and alk a bit high so I adjusted feeding and dosing accordingly.

Bought a second gyre 230 for some more random flow and just recently picked up some super nice stuff at California Aquarium including a Yellow Eye Kole Tang. Pics of corals below.

Some updates:
I have a ton of stomatella in my tank right now, like literally hundreds of varying sizes are visible at night. Algae firmly under control.
Placed an order from LiveAquaria for new fish that will be added later this week (bicolor blenny, purple firefish, mccoskers flasher wrasse, red mandarin, royal gramma). I understand this is kind of a lot at once but I have a good handle on my nutrient levels.
Everything is growing pretty quickly right now, especially the Tricolor Valida and Garf Bonsai. Chalice colors continue to amaze me...

Very nice corals and fish. Can we get a full tank shot?

How are these fish doing? I see you have an RO VarioS pump, I heard these are silent? How's yours?

It's been 5 months since an update.

Welcome to Saltwater
Just to let you know I have a Vario S 6 pump silent isn’t the word for it.
I have a JBJ AIO tank that I converted to have a sump ( will be upgrading to a Red Sea Reefer 350 soon that’s why I have the Vario)
