Thanks Jim, i use Aquaforest products but i don't follow and specific dosing regime. I run a basic filtration system with very little equipment compared to most i see.

Looking so good!
Is that horrida or plana in the top right of video?
We may need a slightly wider video..
Hey Matt, it's a plana mate. I need to make a new top down box, mine is so scratched it's hard to get a non soft focus video

Three acros about to be hit with an orange pav tidal wave of destruction........... orange lava......

How often are you cleaning that siporax? Everything is looking great especially the angel. There was a beautiful blue face at the lfs the other day that was really catching my eye. Thank goodness it sold.

I’ve never seen orange pavona meet acros.. so, the pavona usually wins?
I’ll have to keep that in mind.

Aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhhh..

.. however, agreed, it will make a cool chalice shape... not unlike the uncoverings of Pompeii
Andrew, this is some cool *** reverse reefing archeology..

Nice to hear from you Andrew!

Hey Matt, it gets stung easily by acros but it then goes up and over the top rather than backing down. Pav are super sneaky SPS - SSSPS

Wow. its lightened up considerably.
I’m surprised you added such a green monster to the tank in the first place.
Must have had some hints of yellow when you got it.

Matt, when you talk to Andrew don't look him in the eyes1 Otherwise you will spook him and he will run again.

Nah..Marty, that’s a new coral. I’m sure Andrew pulled off the old one and added something bigger.

It looked a whole lot yellower than it does in the pic Matt. I've had a beautiful pastel piece in its place for 10 days now and it's healing over and coloring up beautifully so far.
