Marie's 175g mixed reef (new pics added jan 27)

Unfortunately the big purple acro is going to have to go, its blocking too much flow and the cyano is building up on that side of the tank

Can you frag off that lower left half and replant it?

Time for an upgrade!!

Stunning, as usual. Did that little one you took last time come around? I am seriously thinking about a complete teardown and redo on mine.

Unfortunately no, the rest of the tissue sloughed off that night.
When I get the anemone and clowns out of the cube tank, I will do a major reno on the 175g. I want to remove the rocks that have the massive hairy mushrooms growing on them and cut back some of the corals to improve the water flow...there are downsides to having giant coral colonies

Well, the colony seems to be doing good, when you want a piece stop by and I will give you a chunk. Should be ready for the nem and clowns next week.

marie, i think its time to upgrade your camera cause from the looks of it, it does your tank no justice

really jealous of the size of your colonies, lol

The pics really don't do it justice but I suspect its not all the cameras fault

I am dreading the day that my corals become giant colonies. In fact I lose sleep over this anxiety

Good grief Marie, I just found the super grape milli in one of those pictures. Its huge! It was like 2 branches when I was there in may. And the convexa in the third pic! You do have a way with SPS thats for sure. Maybe we should call you the reef whisperer

My gosh Marie....what is in the water there in PR???? What K bulbs are you running? Have you ever messed around with the settings in your camera?
