Well I decided on a theme, the tank will be dominated by various kinds of brain corals including lobos, open and closed brains and anything else that is sometimes referred to as a brain coral. Still got a few other corals for fillers and a little variety.

I also took out my Resun pump, after tying to develop a new controller I discovered that the pump runs on AC not DC just like the Hydors meaning the DIY controller I want won't work :sad: Kind of a PO as it was advertised as a DC pump which is why I bought it. So since the pump wasn't doing anything special for me right now I just stuck in my maxi-jet until I get something else figured out.

Some updated pics will follow.

Looks damn nice. I like the orangy/redy/purply lobo. A close favorite next to the huge maze brain.

:biggrin:

That lobo (large picture from before) is sick man, I love the slight rainbow colours on the inside edges!

Those orange zoas/palys are the exact same as these....one of my favorites in my tank.

Funny how different lights can make corals look so different.....

It's always neat to see a coral in different tanks. Especially once it settles in and gets growing!

Thanks Scott!
Got the orange zoos from Gustavo, I'll keep that in mind about the acan.
Chalice was doing good, I gotta move it as it just took a hit from the maze brain sweeper.

Yeah it's pretty big, don't realize until you take it out of the water.
Tanks on my desk, far right side corner.
