Hey everyone, hope all is well with you.

Its been awhile since I posted an update, work and life has been really busy as of late.

ya know when you start to look at your reef and you want to change it just a bit, well i had that feeling awhile ago, and removed the left and right hand bommies in my tank. So there are a few scattered Sps, soft and LPS corals in those spots now. Photos, of the tank now look very strange, and I am going to try and take a piece of rock from the sump and place it above so it doesnt look so barren.

I have the vortechs set to a wave mode, something I really didnt like at first but its really grown on me, hence the soft corals (kenya tree).

I did some fragging a few weeks back, and an end result was the lose of nearly all my hot pink stylos, I am really not sure why they bleached after fragging as all was inline, so i guess it was that they are a sensitive coral and didnt want to be fragged.

so no new FTS, until I get the live rock back up from the sump. Here a few corals that are going to be removed from my system.

That yellow is off the chart!! Sorry to hear about the stylo's .. that sucks. They're one of my favourite .. too bad they're not that common or hardy apparently.

Hope to one day see this tank in person, or at least a video of it when you're ready.

Do you vacuum your sand?

Doug and I were talking tonight wondering where you have been. Looks like you have been a mad scientist on that one side of the tank.

no, I dont vacuum the sand, but I do stir it. I do this when post filter sock change, leave it for a day then stir up anything that might be left on top the sand bed,

Is that yellow one a pocilliopora damicornis? It's off the wall!

Looking forward to the FTS - I'm sure you'll figure out something brilliant.

Yeah it was a find, almost bleached out, really pale green when I got it, and now its finally attached, and colored up.

I did get some work done on the tank today, and then got side tracked.

I am stoked at the way it looks now, still alittle more work, clear out some sandbed corals, then FTS.
