Looks great Raied if you wan really crisp macro shots, turn off the powerheads while taking the pics so the polyps are still. You've got lots of great color going in there now! Didn't take long

Thanks for the pointer.

Didn't know about that; will sure try it

Thanks for the appreciation too

Well trying my best but unfortunately ran out of space :P

. Have to setup a new tank since the male banggai is now carrying eggs.

I have a slight outbreak of bryopsis since some seeds came through some frags and they actually require very low nutrient and BAM! They started taking over my sand bed. Since I don't want ULNS, fighting bryopsis would be hard and hence I took a different step. Came to find out that true scarlet hermits (all scarlets are red but not all red are scarlets :P ) much on bryopsis like a boss since they don't get affected by the toxin. Its like puffer sushi to sushi lovers :P

Anyway, so I got three scarlets and a maxican turbo today and my oh my, they started working (even the turbo) right when they hit the sandbed. They are working like magic! So they are happy and I am happy too

Some pics of the new crew:

Anyway, I have also added two big pieces of live rocks in the tank so that I can stuff in more corals (till now, I have 56).

Pics of the rocks:

My acan garden:

And a leptastrea frag (never saw these in LFS; might have missed it though):

And nothing ends without a good FTS
