    Today, I got a little tired of seeing the BB front part of my tank,

    I then realized- out in my shed in my yard, I had some gravel and a few rocks a former reefer from my church gave me over a year ago. I really didn't need any rocks in the DT- so I put some of them in my sump to get seeded.
    The gravel is what I'd call 'pea gravel'. It's defintely larger and heavier than everything I used thus far ot cover the that
    bare spot, that keeps getting BB.
    So, I powered everything off, put a tool in my DT to distract my Des. Tang (it's not working anymore- he harrasses my hand constantly) and re did the front/botrtom.

    I powered it back up and looks like success!

    It's stiill a little cloudy:

    It looks like a red stylophora pistallata but it also has a seriatopora guttatus look as well though. I'm stumped my friend

    Yes, I think it's actually called a Pink Stylo, I mis-typed red stlylo in my post. I'm no expert on this though. Thanks for the reply

    Nice Desi.. Mine is about the same size as yours. He's made it through three tank moves, and two bouts of Brooklynella!! Mine always rubs up against my arm like a cat whenever my hands are in the tank.
