Hey, thank you guys so much for all the positive support! It honestly motivates me so much and makes doing the stupid stuff a lot easier - talking about skimmer cup, dirty filter socks and water testing 
!
A short update:
PBT got some white-spots again *sadface* but he started to let the tiny fire shirmp clean him
I was invited by my mother to go coral shopping for christmas
.
So tomorrow we'll drive to Regensburg (city - translates to rain's castle) and hopefully get some new awesome stuff for the tank!
I couldn't help but purchase some coral online too - I'll attach the shop's pictures, they are all WYSIWYG, and post my own pictures when they arrive (prob next week)
Echinophyllia sp.
green and red Acan mix
dragon soul favites
red and green Lobophyllia
reverse sunset monti
rainbow acan
Coral update coming soon - so stay tuned for that!
I am really excited!

Acropora sp. from Fiji - neon green with blue-ish tips
Acropora sp. from Fiji - green base, neon green polyps and purple tips
THE SHOWSTOPPER! - Acropora abrotanoides from Australia - green base and really awesome purple tips - the shape is insane! (as was the price lol)
Acropora millepora blue/dark purple
As the corals are imported - I got 4 acropora crabs too (Trapezia in white and red-ish), already love them - they are so cute !

In addition to those I got a blue/green Mandarin and a red sea urchin!
I don't have pictures yet and the mandarin does not move a lot so I hope he'll do better tomorrow!
Next update will be on coming Tuesday when the online order arrives that I mentioned yesterday...
@philfree - thanks for asking!

A whole year has passed since the last post in this threat!
It was not a successful year for my tank I might add...
Right after posting the last pictures of Acropora on this threat I started losing every single acropora and clam.
It was so very frustrating that I really did not want to post about it anymore.
After a lot of tinkering and trying to figure out what went wrong- about 3-4 months without acros I gave it another try.
What other can I say but It failed again... multiple "all green" triton ICP tests and I still lost almost every acro...
Maybe I tinkered a little too much with the tank - trying to "fix" it.
Everyday I looked at the tank- and it looked sh** without my fuzzy sticks
So after another good ICP test last September I gave it a last shot. Again, some frags moved in.
I honestly do still not know what changed. Maybe the tank had to mature a little more... even though It was "upgraded" from my old 55G which was perfectly capable of handling Acros.
But as of right now - with the exception of some acro worms, everything seems to somewhat work out as intended and I want to update this threat more often now.
I will start with posting some up-to-date pictures of the tank and some of the corals.

A few weeks ago I also added two 54w ATI blue+ bulbs to the tank... The additional light seems to cause some algae on the sand. I am not too worried though as that stuff comes and goes every once in a while

Sehr gut! Wilkommen zu R2R!! Your tank looks very nice, rock work, corals and fish. Wo lebst du in Bavaria? Ich habe frueher in Heilbronn, Crailsheim und Kaiserslautern gelebt. Germany is a beautiful country!!!
