    Just haven't posted pics for a while. Tank has changed as we have added and nature has taken away. I have had a lot of question pics recently but thought it would be nice just to show how pretty! Feed back is always appreciated. Even if it's bad. :) remember I'm sensitive though! Lol image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    I was hoping someone would say something about it. I have been reading quite a bit about them and finally decided to take the plunge since I found one I like. I'll keep updating on how it is fairing. Do you keep gorgonians?

    That was the first coral I really noticed in your tank. It's beautiful!

    I have but always stick to the photo Synthetic varieties. I am not gonna lie to you that one is difficult at best. Probably the most difficult gorgonian to keep alive. They need to be fed
    several times a day.Cyclopes,rotifers, and other micro foods are your best bet. This of course fouls the water. These types are best left in the ocean imo.

    I'm crossing my fingers, I'm very attentive to my tank and am feeding it phytofeast feast and reef chili twice daily. I did discover that we may have to move it down. I thought higher flow and now am seeing it is happier in low light low flow. Here's to hoping!
