    Hey guys its been a minute since i posted a tank pic. Had some unfotunate events happen over the holidays that inspired me to do a rescape. Not big on moving things around but had a major detritus build up behind the rock work, causing high nitrates in the 40s and phosphates constantly(but they were there). My nem decided the powerhead was a good place to rest one night. Shredded and blew onto my 2 week old(in my tank 2 weeks persay) birdsnest frag. Had a clown get stuck behind the rock between the glass and a rock and die. All of this happened over a week, right before christmas so i decided the new scaped was a must. So all in all no more losses all back on track again. I opened it up more and moved what rock i didnt use to my sump to keep the filtration the same. The fish seem happier with the flow it provided and the coral seem tonhave responded well. The nitrates have dropped to about 10 or so over the month but what can you do but wait it out. Please disregard all the stuff floating around i just cleaned glass with mag float so kinda stirred up the sand a little bit. Any advise on rock work or powerhead placement would be thought about.

    I think the scape looks good - you do have lots of bridges and room for fish to move. It also looks like you've opened up the back for cleaning so great job! Love the new additions!

    Thanks. Anykne have any idea what that last little coral is? I figured it was some sort of sps. It was a tiny tiny tiny sliver of a piece on a plug. I cut off the dead part and attached it to its new spot and thats whats grown in a a few months.
