I can't remember the name some sort of big acan. Heath @changing tide gave it to me to see if it would color up in my tank. He got it from someone, it's totally bleache d out. It puffs up fine and eats well, we'll see how it goes.

corals.






Overall everything is doing excellent except for my sps..  Just cant seem to keep them for very long.  The ponape BN is doing the best though.  I am rehabbing a few different lobos as well and they are looking a lot better since I first got them.  I just dose about 50ml of brightwell a&b weekly and 20G water change every 3-4 weeks... My LPS are starting to out grow the tank and what started out as a small nickel size RBTA turned into 8 nice sized ones (sold off 3) and one huge one...  I love them but they are a PITA.  very hard to get off my liverock.

Looks really nice Jeremy. The RBTA's are sweet, but with their ability to split and move they can for sure create some issues. I hope to isolate mine on an island when I get the new system up and running.

Tank looks great as usual. Try dosing 10ml daily opposed to weekly for the SPS.

I'd add to that; everything looks great, but there's a lot of soft corals in there that may also be stressing your SPS'.  Carbon?  Water change every 2 weeks?  Just my opinion...
90g SPS and LPS reef tank, 35g sump, ceramic rock by The Alternative Reef, Neptune Apex w 2 X EB8's, Moonlight module, ATI Sunpower Dimmable 8 X 39W T5's, Octopus Extreme 160 skimmer, PM Kalkwasser Reactor, 2 X Vortech MP40's, Geo 618 Ca reactor


Various thriving montipora, acropora, stylopora, wellsophyllia, blastomussa, hammer, anchor, and frogspawn, lobophyllia, rhizotrychus, pavona, scroll, and pagoda SPS and LPS corals, but no fish because I was too stupid to QT...

What is that strange looking stick in the middle of all those LPS and Softies? Your corals look super healthy and happy, nice stuff Jeremy.

Thanks guys... Yea the "stick" is a test piece. If it does well I'm going to get some others.  No idea what it is got it for $10 as a mystery sps... Lol  I'm very happy with my lps. The new brains complete the tank. Now I'm focused on different colored zoos.

Though I like the SPS, your tank is a classic example of a beautiful reef composed of LPS and softies. I have added a few LPS to my new system and am looking to add a few more.

I swear my big brain is getting bigger every month...  Here it is next to a good 4-5" marbeled brain for size comparison.
