Lance's 225 gal tank

Updated pics:
Everything is going pretty well with this tank now. Fish & corals are growing nicely.

Bubble Coral is finally getting used to the flow. For scale: The Bannerfish in front of it is about 5" long.


And this Pipe Organ is at least 12" across and 9" high.


Candy Cane has grown a lot in the last few months.


And a few random shots:

Doesn’t the Heniochus pick on corals?

No, he is a well-mannered fish; doesn't bother anything. But it sure likes it's grub. Biggest pig I've ever seen.

I've had three Acro colonies bleach out on me in the last month! One from this tank and two from the 90 gal. I put two of them into the QT tank where there is very little algae, in hopes of them coming back. The third is staying where it is to see if there is any difference in the DT or QT as for recovery. All other corals, including the other Acros seem to be fine. Water parameters are all fine: The only thing I can attribute to the problem is the recent heat wave we had. Although, with our A/C the tank temps never went above 83F.
Marie and Dave have also been having trouble with bleaching. Must be some kind of a wierd Powell River thing!

Did all your corals stop growing as well?

If only mine had stayed with bleaching I would of been happy, it was the tissue loss from all the tips that really bummed me out. 30g water changes everyday for 10days appears to have fixed the problem though ( I say this while keeping all my fingers and toes crossed)
