Very nice clean look. Mybe get 1 more radion?

Things to note:

- right now the skimmer is OFF due to the lack of bioload (goes wild and overflows after a few hours), think it'll be okay to run it skimmerless for 72 days, with just regular WCs?
- waiting to buy a Gyre for the other end of the tank, will be scouring the B&S for now, not in a hurry
- refugium is filled with LR and some chaeto/red macro
- still need to set up the Apex/ATO, thinking of DIYing a cabinet for the electronics next weekend
- for now, will hold off on a doser until at least after 72, and probably wait for next frag swap which is our next milestone date for adding SPS
- need to DIY a mesh top eventually for jumpers
- RBTA is walking like stupid far lol. It's hosting a porcelain crab we got at OC yesterday
- had to remove a hermit crab because it was attacking snails and rampaging over the zoas
- moved down the torch and it seems much happier
- happy with the aquascape/coral placement, just need the tonga branches to colour up and it'll look good

Thanks bud, especially thank you for holding our corals. The wall hammer is an amazing piece.

Have them about 12" AWL and no shadowing atm, so will probably be fine.

Your tank is looking amazing!

Soo much thought put into each detail.
Love it!

Hey Brian looking awesome, think it's time for a visit!

Stand doors put in, things are coming to place:



Corals have been looking pretty good lately also.

Volleyball sized mutant hammer (frags soon if anyone is interested):



Recently acquired RBTA has been adjusting well, turning into its dinner plate size, occupied by a porcelain crab. Donut coral from Nicole pictured below, nice and plump:
