I keep messing things up but since I had to take some pictures today anyways I thought I'd post a little update. A few alkalinity swings and a power outage or two did a number on a few coral so I did some demo and shuffled a couple of things around. In a couple of months I should be happier with the ways things look but at the moment I just see too much empty space and dead skeleton. Also it would be nice if the incredibly fat power blue tang would stop nipping at the coral!
  Behind the scenes in the rats nest not much has changed. Feeding PE Mysis 3x a day means the skimmer foam head is damn near perma-crashed. I am also haunted by dreams of larger reflectors or a series of LED pendants.

Full tank shot for 2017. I had some setbacks due to irregular alkalinity and then temperature swings over the past year so a few pieces are now smaller or no longer exist. That and the Powder Blue's incessant coral nipping has taken its toll. I've replaced the crushed coral with a 'select' finer grain size sand as I was having a cyano problem. The green Acro hasn't skipped a beat though. At this rate I'll be junking it to start over before the year is out. In total there are only nine fish, and one of those lives in the sump.

Looks like it's coming back strong .
Curious - how big is that brain coral in right back ? Looks awesome, I just picked up a small piece quite similar .

I thought my Achilles tang is the only one that nips at my sps but I guess it must be all the Acanthurus family.
Tank and setup is great man, I would love to have a fish room. One day when the kids move out of the house....one day.
