Stylasters 312 gallon tank build

[stylaster]

Picked up a couple new acros over the weekend. I think they will be real stunners once they settle in. What do you guys think? Maybe rainbow colors on that millepora? I hope the pink scutes stays on the tenuis.

Corals have really grown out into some large colonies. Going to replace the middle light with a radion gen4 pro

It was time to pull out the tubb's birdsnest. This bad boy came in at 32" x 11" and 8 lbs It was hard choice to make since it was such a nice big colony, but ive freed up about 1/4 of my tank space.

What are you keeping your alk and calcium parameters at? How are those mari colonies doing that you got back in november?

Tank was restarted about a month ago. I had what I believe to be a dinoflagellate called ostreopsis ovata that slowly killed off all my stony corals over a couple months. All the fish inverts and soft corals are fine. So I took the tank down, put the surviving animals in another tank. I acid washed the rocks and ran fresh water through the system for a week. Then I emptied the tank and refilled with fresh saltwater and added the rock back in. Tank went through the cycle and I added back in the fish and surviving corals. I have now added a couple stony corals to see how they will do. So far so good, I hope to have the system back up and looking great again.
