FYI- This is a very amateur quality video of my reef tank. As it turns out, my little point & shoot camera can record videos as well.

Here are a few recent top down pictures I photographed recently with the same camera.

Looks real nice Tim. Did you remove some rock since I was over last?

Thanks, Brian! The rock layout is the same, but I did recently remove 5 larger SPS colonies to make room for the remaining corals to grow out.

I agree with you on both counts, Dave. Thanks for the compliments as well.

Lonnie, I am amazed as each month passes with the growth and color of my reef. Unfortunately, I don't think I can capture the true colors of the corals by video with an inexpensive point & shoot camera which means you should stop by for another visit soon!

Thanks for the update. Looking awesome. Most seem to be growing like weeds, any changes to your regiment?

Thanks for the compliment, Wall_Tank! I am experiencing exceptional growth and color for most of my corals. I recently removed five larger colonies to make room for my existing corals to grow out more. Not sure what I told you before, but I do top off my reef daily using Julian Sprung's C-Balance two-part, calcium and alkalinity mix that adjusts calcium, magnesium, and strontium ions to natural seawater ratios. I also run a large calcium reactor and an external skimmer. I literally feed my reef heavy about five times a day (not kidding at all) and if it wasn't for my skimmer, calcium reactor and a 125g macro sump, I could not keep as many colorful fish and corals as I do now.

Thanks, Mike! I could give a small group behind the scenes tour of my reef if you are interested in putting something together? I am usually available on most weekends, either a Saturday afternoon or evening for a visit would be fine. Just let me know.
