Not sure yet, all I have now is a yellow watchman goby in quarantine. Would like to do a pair of Picasso percs when I find them. Maybe a few more gobies and blennys once things are a little met established.

Got a pair of Ora percs off DD a few weeks back, seem to be loving their new home.

The scape looks good!

Watch those gobies, they love to jump and get into the overflow. I've found them getting in the sump through the overflow and 10 feet away from the tank all dried up.

Thanks ya unfortunately lost the gobies in quarantine . I do have a lid on the 250 also to help keep them in.

Decided to add more rock, about 12lbs to display and 3 lbs or so to sump. It gives me a lot more real estate and stays with original theme, seems to keep good flow as well. A lot more shelf space which will be nice in the future when adding corals.

Curious on other's thoughts though on updated scape.

Thanks!

I really love the clean non cluttered look. Wish I had done something like that for my 250. Great job!

Added a few corals from RAP and more to come Friday from the WWC live sale this last weekend.

From RAP I picked up:
A mixed zoa branch
Sunny D zoa
Scrambled egg zoa
Water melon blasto
Neon spattered hammer
A blue/lavender tipped torch with orange tentacles - it’s really different
And a tiny grafted monti frag to try out

Got the refugium plumbed and running today. Went with a custom acrylic box as I broke the original red sea ATO attempting to drill the glass haha

Quick update on my livestock. So I got a bonded pair of Randall’s gobies and a pair of percs from DD. Been in there for a few months now. The bigger Randall’s goby decides it no longer wanted to bond, or maybe never did, and began picking on the smaller one. At first I thought the little guy was gonna be a goner, until one of the clowns decided to bond with it haha. The clown is constantly with him, dancing next to him and even laying down next to him. And has protected him from the bigger goby. It’s been like this for weeks now. Pretty interesting.

That is so awesome! What a unique pair.

Can we get an update on this tank?

Sorry for the delays. It’s a little dirty right now but coming along. Sps are growing but slowly. Have a jawbreaker that I got from another member that has dropped 6 babies in just a couple of months.

Been a very long time and the tank has been up and running pretty successfully (typical battles with different algae every once in awhile). Unfortunately, I need to take it down as I need to move and the new place won't be set up for awhile for a tank - I'll be doing some remodeling. When I'm ready again, I'll probably start fresh and plan to go bigger anyways, here's some shots of it currently. If I can get it up in the selling forum I will so look for it over there. Thanks!
