Thank you.
all in all it was a success. It was my dads first time caring for it and I was so afraid he would “improvise” that I bought a camera to monitor him!

Funny! Just today someone was asking about video cams, I told them it was for watching what my father in law does to my tank more than for the tank!Thank you.

New dudes!
They arrived looking great. Finally witnessed them eating regularly yesterday. They are still receiving the not so warm welcome from the other buttheads in the tank but are holding their own.

Just got lucky and saw your buold
Just seeing your former build from 2018. I just got a tank home and it was an absolute mess. It isnt huge likr yours but I have 2 tanks to do. Timeframe is the 15 up and cycling by the end of this month...not fimished, but on its way. By the time its ready for critters my 92 will be to me from another state...and being used as well lots of elbow grease needed. Santa will be coming down the chimney and I will be working on something...lol..What did you use for scrubbing? Not many shortcuts, but I haven't done this much tank cleaning since 2001. My stuff is old. Btw both tanks are glass. Thinking of thrieing some a shrimps in the 15 for a little bit and let them chow down. Ok...being lazy...thank for listening.This tank was established in June 2017 and is about to turn a year old.
It was formerly a planted freshwater tank, but then I just had to have another reef so it was converted.
Build Info-
BRS Dry Pukani Rock
CaribSea Fiji Pink Sand
Equipment:
VorTech MP40 x 2
Aqueon Pro 200 Heater
Lights: I started out with the 48” Aquaticlife T5HO Quad fixture but I felt the light was too “flat” so I purchased the 48” Aquaticlife T5 Hybrid fixture and added two Radion XR 15’s. — much better!
Now for a photo dump to catch you up to date:

Scraping a tank with such a tall stand is a pain.

The fun begins! I bought a HOB skimmer for this tank but never used it beyond just making sure it was operational.

Pavona in the evening blues.
Chalice close up.
Setosa in the blues.
Neon Green Acro formally known as the nub.
Garf Bonsai still looking a bit like a wizard hat.
Purple Plating Sponge going crazy on this rock.
Both of the new Anthias are still alive and well and eating like little pigs. I’m not sure who can eat the most, the Anthias or the Chromis.

Looking good!

I think Pavona are so underrated. Nothing else compares to their shape.

My pics are playing up at the moment, my first 2 inch frag is about a 10 inch piece now and is 6 or 7 inches up my weir box!
Everything is looking just beautiful!Pavona in the evening blues.
