no issues yet.

Actually, these are the acuminatus version which are deemed as a good risk opposed to the standard heniocus. Also called false Moorish idol- these are more colorful

they have become my favorites. if I was just starting to stock I would have passed on the pajama and bangai cards (apparently mine are all males and don't like each other) and gotten 4-6 of these.

I have been playing around with a DIY PVC branck rock idea based off of paulB work for years just have yet to do it. this is very inspiring indeed!

Oooh I've totally seen this build thread @sp1187. Your rockwork really pops and helped me decide tall was the way to get the 'big' feel with only 4' of space to really work with!

thanks. yea, I was thinking I only had 4' to work with, because of an existing door, when after it was all done I had the thought I should have taken the door out and redid the whole wall and put the 6' tall tank in I wanted.

Your scape looks amazing! I noticed you are skimmerless, how is that working out for you? I am also thinking of going this route with the surf scrubbers. Your results look great!

Thank you.
I've had some issues in the tank, but I don't think it's related to not running a skimmer.
The scoly I had (rehomed it with a local) wasn't doing well, the Duncan I have isn't doing well, but I have new heads popping on my blasto's and sun corals.
I've lost a few of the high end zoas, but others are doing great.
No rhyme or reason.
