Hi thank you kindly..
Second picture is BBEB, bottom centre is CB punk rockers and other is armageddon ii if I'm right. Zoas are great way to cover up your tank and start reefing. Looks amazing plus would feel proud to cover all your rockwork with some beautiful one... I'm trying..

Its been a while since last updates with the tank. its been fine so far but not the best. been away for months at a time since June and busy when home with catching up family times and lots of other bits. Tank has seen 9 week at one point while I was in canada and 8 week when I'm back home even..without water change but until now its been ok. Still having an algae blooms, hairy & looks nasty in some patch of tank.

Been a Lazy reefer too. just watching my tank when I'm home back from work most of the evening and not having to do some sort of maintenance but have to say it looks good with only blue light....lol.. as can't see GHA at the back ground.

My damaged acanto has been slowly recovering and feeding aggressively. took a while almost a week to figure me out when I came back from canada to flush out loads/loads of sand out from its mouth and there was a hole on one side, where now is recovering well. new flesh started to cover the dead skeleton slowly.

This chalice has grown lots since I got it.

And here some Zoas for people who likes zoa..

Happy reefing

It must be an user error on my end because I have the exact same camera! Maybe the lens?? 18mm-55mm? Or do you use a macro? I recently purchased a macro ring which works ok, but still having trouble adjusting the lens speed..I should probably read up in the photography forum!

If its reverse macro ring you are on about,then it should work quite good with this lens. I dont own one but I have use it with 50mm prime. Smallest aperture you can go with for better DOF and slow shutter speed ie no extra light source but if you do then even better. But still have to be silly close and need tripod or touching the tanks glass for stability..lol.. so much to talk about but these are just basic of photography,im not even close to some members out here, they are amazingly good.

Cristy17 · Nov 9, 2015

Thank you! I think I will read up in the photography forum but I was just blown away with the quality of your pictures!

KlynnUK · Nov 24, 2015

Lots of new Mouths...

Still going strong. from ReefDreams

Personal best spot in the tank. Some unknown Zoas

happy reefing

Slowly but surely I'm winning this battle against algae.gha. been quite busy lately with work and had a very little time for tank maintenance, fragging and swapping etc. Well now it's a little time off work for two week so planning to get my back on track.

Introduced a sea hare and tuxedo urchin last weekend. Making a noticeable difference. It's been cleaning them frag plugs well good.

Happy fragging..

Wow haven't seen this one before! Gorgeous! Any new FTS?

Lilmatty5dimes · Mar 30, 2016

Wow love those first few fts. Makes me hope I can get mine to look half as good.

KlynnUK · Mar 31, 2016

Thank you Rev and matty

apologies on not having FTS yet.. I will very soon.. Funny enough I have got some zoas picture if you guys like some....

Busy year 2015 and 2016 seems the same...lol. Updating seems a very hard job so is the maintenance of tank. been very very lazy on that side too, no water parameter checks since december-jan. WC is roughly 4-6 weeks etc,etc... and No fragging too...lol.. But atm I definitely need to do some fragging.

Some current pictures............ for now..
