46 to 65gal upgrade. New photos added 1/17

Besides sps by softies have flourished and my xenia and jasmine polyp both require ltos of regular pruning. My blue mushrooms have split from 1 to 4 but only 3 are viewable due to the forth being underneath the large mother shroom when opened. I lost 2 ricordia has they fell somewhere into the rockwork but have my 1 large one left.

 

Have added some new lps including an elegance that is doing fantastic, a red favia that sends out no sweepers, a neon green trumpet, and a multicolored branching frogspawn. All the new additions are doing great along with most of my older lps. Struggling since purchase with the wall hammer but its not dead, just hanging on for a few months here so hopefully it turns around. Also my green branching frogspawn has not adjusted to the higher flow and does not open as much as it used too. Im hoping I dont have to move it since it stil opens enough and eats mysis.



Unable to gt a good picture due to placement of the elegance but attempted anyway. It opens even more now than when this picture was taken about a month ago and eats a few times a week.









My little zoa garden

 

Wow Pgh, your tank is very impressive! Thanks for sharing the FTS's! You have come a long way in this hobby in a pretty short period of time. Congrats!

 

Thank you very much!! It def takes a lot of time, I am never happy with the tank lol. It seems like the more complex I make things the worse some of the corals look. Having a hard time adjusting the dosing pumps and I think the Alk swings are prob whats causing some of the issue.

 

Awesome! Standing Ovation!

 

Thank you very much!! Lots of time and testing not to mention a little cash lol. If only wife loved the corals as much as I do, shes more a fan of the fish not a big fan of my coral obsession.

 

My wife isn't a big fan of either of them, she's OK with it though, and tolerates my fairly big tank in our family room! It's kinda of the center, no TV's in there, everyone burrys themselves in a laptop, Ipad, etc.

 

See I have the Reef on the right and the bigscreen on the left. She stares at the TV and I stare at the reef lol. Funny how I find myself staring at the tank more than the TV unless there is a really g ood show on.

 

Looks great Pgh! Came a long way since when you first added water What's that Coral that looks like a blue or all purple, Hammer or Frogspawn Coral and then the one in the pic following?

 

Im not sure which coral youre referring too. Yorue not talking about the green branching frogspawn are you?
