I suck out the sand from my tank and cleaned it through a strainer. Keeping only the coarse. I barely have 1/4 on bottom but I really like it. Easy to keep clean. I have a conch and two peanut snails that agitate it daily.

yeah its gotta go. not causing any issues other then showing everything that lands on it. and it doesnt reflect any light, so i made up my mind. get it all out over a few water changes, then bare bottom for a bit to see if i'm up to the maintenance, and if not, then maybe like 1/2-1" of white sand. its a bummer, I love the black sand. on the bright side, I only have about 30lbs left to take out could be a while.

Ok so i tried to get picks of all the new sps, but only got 2 or 3 good ones so i will just post those for now. I think once I get the rest of the sand out I'll play around with the rocks a bit more, cause I'm still not 100% satisfied with in what a headache.. shot pics in raw, but I think the zoas look a bit too saturated IMO
anyway here we go, start with some zoas I have had for a while, just tossed them all in a pile.

top down tank shot can you see the BB? I CAN!

Red Convexa (sp?)

not sure

Salty Nuts
