Time for a thread photo explosion... All taken with an iPhone so excuse the quality (looks better on a 4" screen).

WOW looking great!!!

Looks like you need some harlequin shrimp to take care of those asterina's.

Whats your thoughts on the Asterinas? I know its a big debate with most people, whether they remove them or not.

Thanks

I have a harlequin shrimp in there, but I could use a couple more. The type in my tank don't harm the corals or fish, so it's not a big deal. Just an eye sore to some. I'd like to find a balance where they stabilize, but continue to be a free food source... Right now they are winning.

Your coral growth looks amazing! Wish you could white-balance your latest round of shots so we had a better idea of coloration. It's still evident that the corals are looking pretty!

Thanks Brett! I just figured out how to adjust the WB on my D5100 last night. I can't wait to take some proper pictures.

Strawberry Shortcake (no clue on the scientific name)... Love it though. As it turns out, it really likes lower light. I've seen amazing growth and color compared to having it up high.

It looks like we are closing the page on this build and moving on. I'm already dreaming of the next one in the new house. Moving a tank this size would likely result in a lot of die off and heart break. Instead I can help seed fellow hobbyists tanks and hopefully have many places to buy frags back from when I start up in a year or two.

Thanks to everyone who inspired me in this amazing hobby.
