I can't tell that the tank has been receiving less attention, it still looks great! Those colonies are big and healthy, cyano and majanos be damned!

Wow that's looking great. Like how these pics are a bit darker and show the colors off even better. Do you have any wrasses in your tank?

I notice it's bare bottom. I have a leopard wrasse that sleeps under the sand and I wonder if sand is a must have for fish like this.

I kept my LW in my BB 90 before the upgrade, just added a container of sand at the back of the tank. Worked great

Christy does the same, a container of sand in the back.

Actually I only used the sand for about 6 months or so. THe wrasse would dive in, the sand would make a mass exodus. Eventually I would take longer and longer to replace the sand. Finally there was no sand left to put back in the container and the container was removed. The wrasse is completely fine without the sand now.
