About

wife says the rockwork looks like rubble but the chromis and anthias dont seem to mind, theyre all over it now. bubble tip anemones found their spots and the chalice is finally opening up wide. coralline creeping in under the zoas too.

week 24ish

the montipora has basically doubled since i last really looked at it, spreading over the rock way faster than i expected for that coral. rock is mostly covered now, still some bare spots low down but its getting there.

Note

pump swap

swapped in the sicce syncra for flow today, took way longer than it should have getting the mounting bracket positioned without it aiming right at the anemone. finally got a spot i like, hope it holds position after a water change.

Nice mix with the anemone in there, clownfish looks properly hosted. Any concerns keeping it away from the montipora?

Tank owner replied

yeah its something im watching. bta hasnt moved from its spot in the rock so far but if it decides to wander onto the montipora thats on it, cant really stop an anemone from doing what it wants. keeping the montipora frags on the other side of the rock for now just in case.

Anthias plus that hammer and chalice mix looks great together. What's your flow setup pushing through there, just curious since mine's a lot smaller
