Najer's zen twins.

[Amoo]

I think you broke the like button!

1 - Possibly "Zen twins!"
2 - I find it very hard to back away from green things!

Thanks for taking the time, I had to have the trachy as soon as I set eyes on it, because my leds run a 12 hour program it changes colour throughout the day, each to their own!

No it's really funny, the corals that are super exotic looking, like those rainbow trachys and I think the other one is like those yellow Bounce Shrooms. They just look so out of place and distracting to me I've never been a fan.

Don't get me wrong I think they're beautiful in a vacuum and you definitely have yourself a great one there. I definitely can appreciate it for what it is, just never been my thing.

The one coral of all the things I've killed so far, that I will eventually make an effort to get again is the forest fire digi. You've got some really cool ones.

Thanks, I tried them a few times and failed, the latest 2 are from different tanks.
I placed the darker one lower and vice versa, both have maintained colour, I've bleached a couple in the past.
So far so good!

I did want to point out that I very much respect and understand how you handle your corals because that's how I am with Nems. It's obvious from your postings you watch all of your corals very closely and pay attention to what they are telling you and understand how to act accordingly. It doesn't work out 100% of the time, but you're opbviously way more right than wrong. I've long aserted that Nems will tell us when they are unhappy, you just have to learn to read them. So in that sense it's really fun and cool to see somebody do the exact same thing with difficult SPS.

Thanks, a lot of planning went in to the design of the tank (s) and sump, I ran an aio low custom 170 litre for a couple of years with no water changes, it took patience with nuisance algae early doors before I got a balance, the first year of this was a nightmare until the fuge started to take hold, when I do it again I will fill the fuge with caulerpa from the start, you live and learn.
I do try and test my kh once a month, I should start testing the big 3 really!

Morning 2 wake up, I love the soft light when the first pair of T5s come on!

I have been thinking about this for a few months, due to having the flame hawk and the red thing in the cube I have waited until I found a dinky one!

It is very cute and has already found a favourite monti perch!

This was the coral I got today, pocilipora (spelling), a close to 3 inch "frag", $26!

To the fish.
(Bare in mind these are freehand, my fish pic skills are getting better, slowly!)
As I was typing this it has just got back, to the same monti, after a little 5 minute explore!

Definitely one of my top 5 favorite fish. If not in it really close. Let me think

1. Clowns
2. Lawnmower Blenny
3. PBT

Yeah I could place it 4 or 5 depending on the tank. Sadly I don't have one
