Might be some loading time here folks, sorry about that.

I am not happy with some of these pics (namely the Elegance coral) as real colour isnt shown but you will get the idea. I dont edit pics before posting folks so this will have to do. Also, i just edited to say the shrooms arent shown how they should be (those orange extensions are seriously... orange! -these get a lot of comments from people) They dont even ask about the fancy gear... just love the shrooms

Heres a few of my corals, im happy with my tanks performance so far and havent encountered any real issues. I will get pics of the other corals in due time but this is it for tonight

Thanks all


JMT1SOMR, so far it is great, i have changed the flow it recieves so that it isnt blasted.... just so it gets enough to keep it pushed up. The current pushes it upwards from behind mostly and every 10 minutes or so there is a swirling action which ripples it a bit.

Last night i removed 3 large hermits from my display which were cutting the purple tips off it Today it is business as usual and looking good
