Actually I meant that as a GOOD thing lol, it came out wrong. I love how the layout is clean but the craziness of the corals adds that "zing" haha love that word.

Maybe it has to do with that ying-yang thing

Here are a few photos taken today, am just hoping that the system will stay status quo after 1/2 gallon of alkalinity was dosed in the system within 3 hours about 2 weeks ago.

Glad to see they are not looking so bad. When you showed that picture of a white tank I feared much worse.

Sorry if you've answered this already but how old is the tank? Love the density of corals. My tank has a lonnnggggg way to go to match this

thanks! the system is less than 17 months old, the corals are about 11 to 13 months old. 95% of the corals that I have were purchased as a frag.

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this, so I figure take a few shots of the system before a start changing some stuff. As you can see in the progress shot above I haven’t been having that much luck with the system. Over the last 4 weeks I’ve decided to change over from MH to a full T5 Lighting as a result I’ve had a few casualties some small frag , and some colonies as seen in the above picture, I’ve also lost significant amount of colors. Am hoping that over the next few months the system will recover in its glory days!
