I played around with my phone camera last night and snapped this quick video. Hope that you enjoy. The quality isn't as great as I thought it'd be, but what do you expect from a cell phone right? The colours don't come out right and everything looks pretty washed out. Well, hope you enjoy.

Thanks for the disclaimer man a simple 'this vid rocks fuzzy sticks' would have sufficed! Tank looks fab. I see your monti caps are climbing up the walls now lol. Those massive thick branches with the blue tips... that your abrol or the shag stag?

Brett, not sure which coral you're talking about. What's the time in the video of the appearance of that coral? Thanks for the props :)

That's the shag stag. That coral was in the very first batch of corals that I bought for the tank. It took forever to colour up and start growing. I was brown for the first 6 months, now it's a darker green with blue tips and sort of pink coralites.

Mines the same other than the blue which really sucks bigtime.

Time to start tossing some Pohl in the tank maybe...

I've actually cut down on the dosing by quite a bit. I'm down to 8 drops of coral vitalizer daily only. I've quit the aminos, sponge power, pocci glo. Once a week I'll stick a capful of K-balance, and Pohl's Xtra and that's it.

Also, so far it's been just about a month on LEDs and the coral colours haven't changed.....knock on wood. The corals seem to be growing still. So we'll see. I'm gonna give it 5 more months before selling the halides.

Thanks Rus, your tank is quite amazing. Congrats on your TOTM. I've always enjoyed the mixed reef and kudos to you for being able to manage the coral fighting in a mixed reef.
