This week started off with a big coral haul from a local reef tank break down. I am very excited to try more SPS, Fiji Yellow Leather, as well as a starfish (Patrick?!). I am also super excited to finally be able to remove two BTAs that have been dominating the tank… now there is […]
The equalibrium was broken – algae started appearing on the sandbed again. One of the Yasha Goby has been missing for about a week. Corals are getting too big, may need to do some serious rescaping or I need to start selling things. source

Updated my aquascape so the rock structure looks taller and more uniformed. Added the intrusive Blue Clove to the tank… I may regret this decision later. Sadly lost my first coral, the Acan. source
