Looking good, definitely a clean look!  I hear you on the snails.  Got a few nerites from ipsf and found one on the cabinet headed towards the carpet!

Thank you! And yeah in some of my older builds I’d find them on the floor…

This tank is stunning, great job!

Looks great!

So I think I figured out why the zoas haven’t been really taking off. I think they’re getting blasted with too much light even at the bottom on the tank. I noticed the zoas that are more vertical or shaded seem to be doing better. I also think the torch is also likely getting too much light even in the sand at the bottom of the tank. Thinking about trying to move a lot of that over to the left side of the tank near the bottom where it’s shaded. If it doesn’t like the strong light it shouldn’t grow all the way up to the SPS anyway. Then I’ll also have space for more SPS on the rock on the right!

New FTS!  Not too much has changed, just upping the dosage of all-for-reef per day.  Also moved the torch and some zoas to a lower light location because I think they're getting blasted with too much light even on the sand.

 Tank is doing well!! Had a temperature issue in the house and lost one small SPS frag and most of the red dragon but managed to save two small frags that are now doing well on the floating shelf in the back on the left.  Also remounted the pocillopora on top of the small main rock on the right since it outgrew its previous location and will also provide some shade for the zoas which I think they prefer.  Let me know what you think!

Everything is filling in nice, it's looking good! You're almost out of room!

Thanks!! Yeah no room for more frags at this point, just growing it all out!

Awesome. I love these mid-size, rimless tanks! You've done a great job with aquascaping, both in form and color.

Thank you, that is much appreciated!!

Things are growing out nicely!  Not really too many updates which is a good thing at this point.  Had the macro out to take pictures of some frags I listed today so also took a top down of the pocillopora colony which is getting huge (respectively for my tank...).  

 

 

[teamschreiba]

Well the tank survived the move! Made quite a few new frags but so far no losses. Also took the opportunity to rescape the right hand side of the tank so I’ll try and take some pictures once I have the frag rack out of the tank. 

[teamschreiba]

Finally some new pictures!  Almost everything is growing great at this point.  Zoas are definitely slow but I think that's because I've really optimized the tank for SPS.  Let me know what you think!

Very impressive, thanks for sharing.

The tank is looking great. I love the floating GSP island. It's a beautiful tank

Thanks! Have to keep it to the island otherwise it would take over haha. It did start growing on the glass before I moved too but I think I like it better confined just to the island. 

[teamschreiba]

Had the macro out and snapped one of my only torch.  Thinking about clearing space to add some more...

 

 

[teamschreiba]

I need to get a new FTS but was able to get this quick top down shot!  Not a lot of space left to grow...

 

 

[teamschreiba]

Finally managed to take an FTS!  The right side island is cleared out because I have a Battlebox coming in tomorrow.  I seem to have everything dialed in so trying my luck with some additional acros over just the ORA Hawkins Echinata and Mr Pacman which have been growing great.

Everything is coming in really nicely! Looks great!

Thanks!! Yeah it’s definitely a battle for space on the bigger rock now and the Tubbs Stellata seems to win all the battles.  I wish more of them had grown vertical instead of just encrusting….

I got good vertical growth when I had an over crowded nano bc I believe i was constantly trimming/bonsai’ing the SPS. 
 

It’ll only stay that way for so long without a ton of maintenance.

Yeah I’m definitely to that point. A lot of it is corals growing into the glass and then accidentally fragging something when you’re trying to trim something else…

New FTS!  Battlecorals frags are coming in nicely.  I lost one but the others are doing well and three of them already are showing excellent growth. Unfortunately I have a lack of space up in the higher PAR region so the one tenuis had to be mounted to the single frag plug holder for now.  It just wasn't doing well down lower.   I have been upping the white channel percentages on the Radion and did buy the high intensity lens kit particularly after noticing two of the lens had burnt out.

 

Seems crazy that I have two MP10s in this tank too but I do think it is helping with the more random flow.

Some of the battlecorals frags are really taking off. I knows it’s not a crazy rainbow frag, but really liking the BC a fire engine (bottom left).
