Some colonies have been removed and replaced with smaller frags:

These 2 clownfishes are so cute together





Why the uglier acros always win the fight.
Funny thats it doesnt kill the other acros. Instead, it tries to grow over the other!

One of the corals I am not document too often. The color is not special, but I like the grow pattern. True table acro.

Just awesome. Great photos, even better coral selection.

Are you dosing 2 part? If so what type and how much of each per day? Just curious.

How often are you fragging your corals? Looks like quite a few chop spots. Which is great just wondering what your trimming schedule is like?

When you paid a bunch of money for a no name corals just because you like how it look, not because how it named!
5 new additions!
Two here, 3 are on the way!

Thank you.
Yes, I dose 2 parts from ESV. Right now the dosing rate is 90 ml each part per day.
I dont have a trimming schedule, but since I keep wide variety of acros in such a small tank, I need to cut them down quite regularly. On the other hand, I find out that when I trim the colonies to their base, they will look better when they grow back. The colonies shape will be more united.
For the record, that fts above was taken after I trim down ~250 frags!

Not much tonight. Just cant resist taking picture of this cool acro.




very cool, did you turn the lights on right before the pics or have them on for a bit? Flow or no flow for the pics?
They were taken around 30mins after light on. No flow since I wanted to have slow shutter speed.



Amazing tank. Is it an ultra low nutrient tank or just controlled nutrients

Nah, my system is far more than ultra low nutrients! Algae everywhere
