    I will guess A. humilus too. Do they superextend a polyp simialr to millipora?

    The other coral I will say is a A. tenius. I am going to make a judgment based on color, which is a big "no-no" in SPS identification. However, I have only ever seen green A. aculeus in the hobby. Once the colony starts taking shape, you'll be able to tell. The A. aculeus will shelf.

    Very kind of you. :)

    I agree, you never know what shape it will take. This one is a dark red and requires the least light of all my corals, weird. I like the pink variety very much as well. Being that close to Battlecorals would be a very bad thing for me.


    The possible A. Humilus is fuzzy but not crazy long fuzzy like the Mille, like a carpet. I'll not know on the Tenius, today it looks like a tort, check out the image. The acropora that is center and blue.

    That pic of the clowns almost looks like it could be a mirror reflection.

    Have you done a top down pic :) with flow off?

    Hi Chris,

    Going to turn up the whites and take a top down with no flow tomorrow as a matter of fact, when I do a water change.

    I have been dosing the TwoFishes C balance daily, keeping my Alk at 7.5 pretty consistently, just a tiny amount and Ca every other day to keep it around 450. Absolutely love the Hanna Alk checker, one of my all time favorite gadgets, wish I had discovered the alk Hanna earlier.

    Unable to get the IM Ghost skimmer dialed in, not sure why, the skimmer worked well for about a week and then now it makes a ton of noise, produces little skim. It will be replaced with the new Tunze Nano Doc that replaces the Tunze 9002. I have taken the IM apart and cleaned it and reassembled it, but continue have the same issue..

    Got the Tunze ATO, Tunze Wave Controller (the bomb).

    Lastly I have just not had the time to work on the adding the ATI fixture.

    I love the picture of the top part of your tank. I've never had a rimless tank, and I haven't really thought about it until seeing this picture. hmmmmmmmmmm, more excitement!

    I really like those clowns the more and more I check them out!


    and you already have cause me trouble with battlecorals... I'm searching out some pieces already, well, I already found one locally. dang you!!! **shakes fist**

    Tank looks amazing. Those led lights are giving impressive results for your coral.

    A 20 gallon tank is a heck of a lot easier to take care of. I change 6 gallons of water a month. Equipment is small, easily accessable, all plug/play. The mag float is an inch long, TwoFishes, so small it's easy to hide. Tank looses 1/3 of a gallon a day in fw.

    I have been wanting a rimless for a long time, set up with all the proper equipment this tank is a pleasure.

    I agree, hard to believe it's only 20 gallons. My next tank is gonna rimless and built by reef savvy.
