Incredible looking colonies and really enjoy how you've laid them out as well. Are your fish ever snapping branches off? Some of those look so long and must be delicate!

Thanks Brett. As much as I would like to blame my fish for accidental frags, it's usually me and not them.

tried my first HD Video with my Cannon 7d , found out it's a lot tougher than it looks to shoot a good video . I now have even more respect for those of you that post videos that look so professional. Hopefully next attempt turns out a little better.

I have added in a few more fish as well , most notably a juvi Goldflake ( may be hybrid , still waiting for it to finish changing color ) and a larger Copperband that has been in my quarantine for over 5 weeks , and I'm happy to report is eating extremely well. I have tried many times over the years to get one that would survive more than a few months , hopefully this is one. I love them not just for the Aptasia control , but I find them a great looking fish as well. Fish total in tank now is 30 .

Updated video of fish room area - please ignore back wall of tank , as I'm in the process of removing paint to repaint it.

Now there is a guy with some cajones.....a bold move putting a goldflake in a beautiful reef like that.....how is it behaving so far?

Thanks , as far as Goldflake so far so good...... he's eating well on most foods I put in , and with all my Anthias in the tank it is fed at least 3 to 4 times a day , so hoping this will limit his picking on too many corals . Goldflakes have not "too bad" a rap for picking on corals , and I wanted a few angels in my tank so though I would give it a go. Time will tell I guess.
