Waters 105g SPS dominated reef

Been trying to get a good pic of this deepwater acro for a while....hard to capture its' true colors but this is pretty close. The middle color is more green with the ends turning blue.

Very nice!!
 
Nice build(s).. I just checked the whole thread :)
And hell yeah big shoutout to @Big E for all his help! Really a mentor for me!

Btw. how do you keep this tank so clean? I would love to deep clean my walls but I fear my foxface because this guy is already freaking out when I stick my hands in the tank to glue something.....

My Foxface follows me around also waiting for me to scrape algae lol. I use a couple of different approaches to keeping it clean. I have two MP40s that sit on the back glass on the bottom and blow everything up into the overflow (even when I feed I keep those two on which keeps all food suspended). I wipe the glass down weekly and clean all powerheads. In addition I have a few fish (Foxface and Coral Beauty) that help along with some urchins and snails.
 
WOW! They grew so quick!
 
Never thought I would have the problem of figuring out how to keep growth under control lol.
What are the alk and nutrient levels?
 
What are the alk and nutrient levels?
ALK is normally around 8.4 (although the last couple of weeks my dosing is having a hard time keeping it above 8. Phosphate sits around .08 and Nitrates around 7.

Thank you so much! You should compete in an acro growout competition!

Unfortunately I have no more room to grow out lol. The last few weeks I have been trying to relocate acros that have been buried beneath the larger plating varieties just so they can get some light. When you are starting out a new SPS tank and you see those tiny frags with endless empty rock, you don't plan for their eventual growth as you stack them all within inches of each other :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
 
Haven't posted any updates in a while due to purchasing a new tank and turning my old SPS tank into a planted tank. Here is a sneak peek at the new Cade 1800 LPS tank :) Currently has 6 small colonies/frags (Glitterbomb Goni, Krypton Goni, Dragon's Soul Torch, Toxic Green Frammer, and Wintergreen Alveopora. Tank is going to strictly be Euphyllia and Gonis. Using existing equipment from last tank plus I added one Radion G6 Pro and a Tunze Wavebox which provides most of the water movement.
