Here is a quick peek under the cabinet. The backbone components are Royal Exclusiv and most everything is cleanly contained within the sump. I'm using a BK180 and filter socks. The return is a RD3 pump and it feeds a media reactor that runs GFO. The goal for the sump was silence and organization.

The tank is controlled by a GHL Profilux with dosing tethered to the GHL dosers. I try to keep things as efficiently simple as possible and don't like overcomplicating with more components than necessary.

Love the DT & setup for sure. I would love to someday have a tank like so in my living room area. Right now i have a 120 g mixed coral & fish and i'm working on setting up a 129 g mixed/coral & fish setup. Great job on that for sure!

I find fish photography much more difficult to do well. Here is a quick pic of one of my wrasses.

Incredible set up, great looking tank. Now if only my tank can look as good as your 'downsize' haha.

I love how well you incorporated it into your decor, really fantastic job, you should be proud.

If it’s still encrusting, the color definitely has time to settle in and change a bit. I think Adam’s pic looks a bit pastel due to getting blasted with light. My Pearly Cadaver is dark and hasn’t shown any coloration near the purchase photo, but it isn’t near the top and it’s still frag sized.

Some acros look amazing as frags and loose luster as they grow. Others don’t show off until they reach colony size. And some just look the same no matter the size. I’m sure you know all of this already anyhow.

Also both are not frags pearly is what I would call a colony and the premoberry is at least 5 x 5 inches long the original frag is like a blob in the middle

With the pearly I found abound 225 par is where it took off and I found motives growth weekly

Beautiful. Out of curiosity what are you feeding and what's your feeding schedule? Always interesting to hear peoples preferences as it seems to vary quite a bit.

I feed Hikari Seaweed Extreme 3x/day on a timer. I was feeding a mix of frozen mysis, plankton and brine with a pinch of Hikari Marine pellets. I just mixed up my own DIY food last weekend to try. That is a mix of tilapia, scallops, small shrimp and Hikari Marine. Some fish loved the new DIY food and others aren't so sure about it yet.
