Well it's about time Tai, still really love those Duncans dude. I have seen your tank at it best and worst but it always looks great.

Ps your photos are really good as far as I am concerned, not all of us are pros at it especially me.

he was very healthy when i picked him up and i really don't do anything special.

I give him food with selcon once a week and Ocean Nutrient pellets every day.

how much vodka did you put in to overdose?

For someone who sells enough equipment to start 10 reef tanks it's nice to see your pride and joy finally =) Looks nice and your photos got better too. What did you notice (good or bad) after you removed your sandbed?

I prefer bare bottom because it is much easier to clean and suck out the debris. Also, if my coral got knock over and sink to the bottom, it won't likely die by the time i come to rescue. Also over time, the sand started to look dirty and as i read you need to replace every 4-5 years which I found too much work. However, i still have a DSB in my refugium

Digging the gorgonian.

How long have you had it and what are you feeding it?
