i tend to do water changes about once a week. i usually do between 2.5 to 4 gallons when i do one. sometimes a bit less, sometimes more. i find that my xenia is an excellent water quality indicator, and have learned to read it pretty good (at least i think so.lol)

i also use a protein skimmer. right now it's a sapphire aquatics skimmer sitting in my HOB fuge, but i have a Tunze DOC nano 9002 (words in wrong order i think.lol) that i need to mod the fuge to fit into, but it is so quiet i cant wait to use it!

so the other day i decided to snap a bunch more pictures of my nano reef. mohawk (my tuxedo urchin) is up to his coiffalicious badness again. he has a whole new "head of hair", this time it's actually pretty funky!

everything in the tank seems to be doing very well. the only thing not doing great are my glacier blue palys, which have had trouble opening since i got back from my trip. they are slowly coming around, but nothing like they used to look like unfortunately.

here's some updated pics of the tank!

everything is going very well. i added a new bulb recently (Ushio 20,000+K) and the colours have really come out!

i recently got some new zoas. 5 polyps of something cool (no clue of the name). today i also got a rock with 100+ zoa polyps on it! cant wait to get pics up of that!

here's the new pics!

Favia is doing very nicely
