Thanks! They would look good in here, but they got a good home in the main display!

Default random LPS tank shots

Just took a few shots of the tank, couple of my favourites in the tank. Its been running pretty well considering it has not skimmer or filtration! Just water changes! As You may have guessed ive switched this to a LPS tank for the moment, im gonna grow out the monti's in the other tank and then transfer frags over to this tank.

Just a top down shot, excuse the lights right in the middle of the tank, and the heater!

Thanks! It's amazing what Lps does in a dedicated tank. I think the lack of filtration really helps them, they look way better when I don't run the skimmer.

Ya I've noticed that too. Many LPS do well in a dedicated take where they have the opportunity to filter feed out of the water column. In mixed reefs that we tend to try and keep cleaner they struggle a bit more to stay healthy. Anyway, that's been my experience.

I found the exact same thing in my sps tank, they always were kinda shriveled up or just lost color.
