    Nice update Gabby,

    Everything looks healthy. How do you keep the back sooo clean? How long have you had that group of chromis?

    I honestly don't know why, but I don't get any coralline growth on my back glass. It has taken over my rocks and equipment, but it doesn't grow on any of my glass... I'll consider myself lucky! ;)
    The chromis are about 3 years old - leftover from a group of seven I bought together. Two of them went missing (nem snack probably), and the other two jumped a couple years ago.

    Added a Maxspect Gyre 150 today, and absolutely love it. I removed both of my old powerheads, and this moves twice the water they did, on only 40% power!!! It took a while to dial it in so that it wasn't knocking my corals over, but the end result is just what I was hoping for. I had a little cyano outbreak, but I don't think it's going to last long with the turbulence from this beast!

    I also got a Melanurus Wrasse last week at practically a steal! The fish store ordered too many, and they were fighting in the tanks, so I got a 4" fat, happy wrasse for only $20. He gets along really well with the other fish - even my Tomini leaves him alone. Hard to get a clear shot of him though. I had to trim off a chunk of my enormous Nepthea to allow more light for the zoas, so don't mind the sad, angry, deflated bit in the bottom left. :rolleyes2::rolleyes2::rolleyes2:

    I'm really liking him too- very active, beautiful fish. And I haven't had a wrasse in years due to my uneducated self buying one without a screen many years ago... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. Now that I have a screen, I needed a wrasse to go with my "kiss my wrasse" shirt
