No issues and I have given him to a local member of R2R as I added a Harlequin tusk and wanted to assure no conflict

Just wondering what you use as a CUC having a harlequin tusk wrasse. Ik they love to eat shrimp, snails and clams.

that’s crazy. I bought these two a year and half ago and I’m half way. However I feed fresh homemade food and supplement with pellets.

Tank looks great. Corals grow fast with all that fish poop. What is your nitrates and phosphates?

Before I leave the house for a Brewer game, yeah- per your question, thought I should check it and just did.
Yikes, my phosphate is at .177 and nitrate at 13.4. Haven't changed my chemipure since new years. Guess i'll throw in a new one now. Scrubber has helped immensely with nitrate levels

Tank is coming along nicely. Jam packed looking natural. Love it!

Lovely tank! I’ve been reading a lot of your posts as your name comes up a lot in other builds and questions what’s the green plating coral just before the Zoas at the end? How long for it to grow to that size? I’m trying to pick some plating corals for my build.
