    Thanks Shin, Nana, and Smitty for the kind words. I forgot to mention that my anemone went sour a little after my last update. No idea why, one day just started expelling zooxanthellae consistently and slowly started losing color and only inflating half of it's body.

    Took some quick shots. Still couldn't find the shrimp or goby. I see the shrimp has been busy, there are tunnels everywhere. I just hope the goby is still alive. I'll take some pics once I see them.

    As far as the tank, everything is doing great. All of my SPS is growing like crazy. Mainly encrusting as of now. PE went down though and it is either because of my angel or my skimmer quitting on me. I think a dwarf cerith got in the pump somehow and did some damage. My torch went from 1 head to 3, hammer from 2 to 4, frogspawn is currently splitting, ricordea grew a second mouth and is splitting, and my mushroom sprouted two new shrooms.

    More SPS. The weird round one encrusting is a mystery. Think it may be a monti?

    And I thought I got rid of these bastards

    Nice tank and great video. As for the zenias, unless you get it all, they stay around like luggage.

    Nice SPS collection! The tanks getting more mature looking for sure.

    While ago you said you wanted to add a sump? Are you dosing anything at the moment?

    Thank you! I thought I got all the flesh, but I guess some was left behind. Now I'm interested to see how quick it grows.

    Thanks Shin. Everything just needs to grow! My dad is building me a custom stand for my birthday next month, so I will put in a sump sometime in the future.

    I'm currently feeding roti feast and I just bought some Fuel and started that. I haven't had to dose any of the big three yet, water changes keeping them in line so far.

    Well good news, my new goby finally made an appearance. Not a great picture, but here is Oscar and Felix working on their home.

    I think you called it an unknown acro or a monti, not sure which was which, but the green sps is called green spongodes - very cool coral.
