    I really like goni as well. It's got the coral and movement - I still just have a small frag of red but so far, it's hanging in there!

    All caught up! Amazing tank build, Cheryl! Everything looks awesome. You can tell you really care and gave a lot of thought to your choices in coral and live stock. Sorry about the diver.
    Did you end up getting the monti from LA? It looks amazing!

    I had a great time reading your thread! I think I speak for all when I ask: More pictures, please! :)

    :) I neglected to take more images but I will tomorrow after the new Goniopora and Derasa get here.

    Did not get the Monitpora Danea, however I did get another Acropora hyacinthus, my very favorite tabling sps. I had one before and loved it.

    Thanks for the kind words and reading my thread. I look forward to your build, I know it's in the planning stages still. I never got the excitement about gathering equipment until my new build, it's a lot of fun.

    Well... I got the water under control... not dosing anything yet, but will soon. I also got the fish in my sig when i started getting the itch for life in there. The tank had been running and I have not seen anything look bad. Some of the coral that I have there are having a hard time due to the lights. They're lps, zoas, monster green mushrooms took over along with the aptaisia and flatworms. I have treated for flatworms before, but they have come back with a very vengeful smirk on their flat faces!

    The equipment is all the same, but I will get good lights... just got to find them in the U.S.

    on the goni comment - it should say it has the COLOR and movement - not coral and movement - I really need to proofread before I hit post :) looking forward to updated pics!

    Hi Milton and welcome to 3reef.

    Tank has hit the 3 month mark, still having the expected growing pains.

    Proud owner of Crocea, Maxima, Derasa Tridacna. :cool:

    Algae issue abating. Turned my heater down to 74, the temp hangs steady at 78 because of Az ambient temp. Love, love love the ATO.

    That was me! I don't know why my tapatalk does not remember my username and it subscribed me again to all the forums under my name :) I have to get it fixed.

    Hi Magnus. :p LOL

    So my Acropora hyacinthus arrived DOA, I was disappointed and it looked like a beautiful piece, when alive.

    So my credit went to Acropora sarmentosa, not one you see a lot of. Also while I was there, Montipora Danea, ORA Green Planet :cool:, Montipora spongodes.

    Pretty excited about the Green Planet, as we all know I certainly loved my RP.

    Got a ton tunicates. Red Gonio and clams are doing well, as is Haddoni. Still fighting some algae issues.
