Really sweet corals. As all the rest have said, in a year, this will be a super nice tank. I am slowly moving towards an lps tank. But I do love my monti caps. I have one that is over a foot in diameter. Do you run a lps tank only because you don't care for the sps or do you think that the lps and sps don't co-exist as well? Can you put come of the lps like the Cynarina on the rocks? Also, I currently have two 250w 20k mh, and two 110 VHO actinics. Is that two much light for the lps?

I'm liking that oulophyllia. Do they come up often in the trade? I don't think I've ever seen one offered.

Sweet! You have a great collection going. While others like large colonies. I personally prefer small/mini colonies so that i can have as much diversity as possible. So i really dig what you got going!

Oh yeah, and i wish i have room for 180gal reef tank

Great to see a lps dedicated tank. Like everyone is saying this is going to be a great tank within the year. I reckon they are the best of the corals.

I see you've gotten yourself an aussie elegance, are you feeding it more directly with krill or equivalent?

Cheers

Chris

Yea I jumped on it when I saw he posted it. Great place to do business with. I was nervous with shipping on it and it getting damaged.

I want to say thank you.

You just gave me the inspiration I needed, to figure out what I'm going to complete my tank with.

if its still alive, it will hopefully be fine. If you do not see it, do not try to find it. it may be hiding. just LEAVE it alone

Sequence Barracuda and Vortech pump

The barracuda is being used because the sump is not drilled. So I did some fancy plumbing with a u shape plumb job with a cap to prime the pipe. I originally had a snapper on the tank but it could not suck the 3 ft of pipe and give good flow so I upgraded to the barracuda. Now I have to scale it back a little.

Well I just added an Achilles Tang to the mix. So far he is doing great. Eating frozen foods with gusto.

So the fish total is

1 Radiant Wrasse
1 Melanarus Wrasse
1 Yellowfin Fairy Wrasse
3 Alleni Damsels
1 Flame Hawk
1 Bangai Cardinal
