Thoughts on the Forgemaster so far? I've seen some stunning pics from WWC but take those with a grain of salt.
It’s a VERY slow grower for me, but it might have to do with the bad location I mounted it in. Color wise it’s similar to my RRU Hades although that coral grows at a much better pace. I love Hades, it’s one of my favorites. Time will tell. Some corals just take longer before they start sprouting.

DTW Day Gecko

This one is so close to the surface that it's super hard to get an accurate picture of it. It's actually out of the water during water changes. I recently cut this frag though which I was able to take a much more accurate picture of. It's almost unrealistically green. This is an untouched photo.

Awesome tank and nice stand! What kind of paint did you use for the inside of your stand? I just finished building my own, trying to figure out the best way to seal it.

Thanks. I caulked all the seams, then used two coats of Rustoleum Marine Topside boat paint.

Corals always look stunning. Out of all the corals I got from you Im only struggling with one ( CB Maleficent ).
Interesting. That is the ONE specie I seem to struggle with as well. I have lost two (both small frags) out of a hundred others that seem to do fine.

There is always gonna be that one. For me I’m not gonna change my tank over for one coral especially if all the rest are doing fine

Agreed. For me it's RRU Angry Birds and HOTO. I've tried HOTO twice and killed both... Weird about Maleficent though. It grows like a weed for me and it's the brightest red in the tank! Here's my "how to" I wrote a couple years ago. I read back through it and nothing has changed other than a few of my fish:
