Life is pretty hectic right now. Things seem pretty stable with water changes every week to 10 days. Added a few more frags. Mostly zoas from my 75 gallon. Zoas seem to be dong poorly there for some reason and are much happier in the iReef. Here's a quick Nov. FTS. I'll try to post some more pics tomorrow.

WOW

so gnarly

That wall looks amazing all grown in like it is now. Can't wait to see those tiny frags fill in and make that wall LIVE.

I felt a little let down when I looked at the other pics of your goby and realized these guys don't have neon green in their faces. Darn reflection of the trumpet coral! How's he liking his new buddies?

Yes, I am waiting for them to fill in too. Growth has happened but has been slow with these under driven LEDs. It's a trade off of PAR vs. heat in the tightly enclosed space.

The goby does have some yellow on its face but I think the reflection in that one shot did make it stand out more.

Here's a couple more shots:

A little "skin flap" of palau green nephthea. This will look beautiful under the LEDs once it grows out.

As that grows and expands are the green areas that green? Looks gorgeous already.

Your rock wall is probably the best one I've ever seen... I don't generally like how they look but yours turned out really nice.

Wow, a Nephthea... pretty cool. Do you need to feed it?

I'm not usually a fan of rock walls either but in this tiny tank it makes it look like you're looking at something bigger or at a snapshot of a section of reef etc.

I don't feed the nepthea directly. It is a photosynthetic type and while I make an effort to not overfeed it may also pick up the odd stray particle of food as I do try to leave a few extra bits for the shrimp etc. floating around.

Final tank pic due tomorrow December 1st (if no final pic, the last FTS in this thread will be used).
