The tank is coming up on a year old soon still having some GHA and cyano issue but slow working on getting rid of them . The tank is getting more coralline along the back wall and the rock work . Could probable add to my clean up crew snail wise . Still not using a skimmer but that could change soon .
Have 3 rock flower anemones hoping I have not all one sex and the tank is stable enough for them to spawn .

Tank update
GHA is almost gone just on lower intake grate . Canyo is gone which I’m happy about . The skimmer works well skim is a little wet but still pulls out stuff. I Lost 1 head on my candy cane coral and almost the second but repositioned a little lower and it’s hanging in there starting to get flesh back . The clove coral is doing okay has added a few new stalks . Tank shot is from feb 19 th . I may have a baby flower anemone but not sure I hope .

How the tank looks like as of tonight .Started to dose as my AlK and Calcium started to lower quicker then weekly water changes could keep in check . Using Red Sea Foundation Complete has been about a month and my levels are stable . Should have used a course sand as I believe it would be easier to clean and not blow around easily like the oolite . Coral is doing well except for the 1 frag of zoas as they just don't seem to grow . 1 RFA after 9 months decided to move and put it underside up against the front glass.

My son just got a rock flower like your red one. I think a friend may have a baby green one for him as well. Are you running stock LED? Is so, what light schedule are you doing?
