    Beautiful John! I love the big colonies of zoas! Is the Flameback behaving himself?

    Yes, he be haves pretty well. He follows the coris wrasse around the tank a lot.

    Just thought I'd update this thread since it's been 6 months. First off, an equipment update: I've been using a Smart AutoAqua ATO for this tank for about 18 months and I'm disappointed to say that the sensor side has totally corroded. I would expect more durability especially since my Tunze 3155 osmolator has been running without a hitch for over 4 yrs on my RSM 250. Obviously, that will be my replacement choice for this one. Here is a full tank shot and some closer up shots of the coral.

    I have some of those green with red bumps mushrooms loose if anyone is interested in one $10 each. I can always peel some GSP from the back of the tank if anyone needs any of that, free.

    Nice John! That tank is really starting to mature since I seen it at the meeting at your house. Those mushrooms are nice. I might want one. But I'm kind of worried after adding green hairy mushrooms to my tank. One turned into 20, and I have to battle them. I also like the green star polyps on the back wall. I'm debating on trying that in my cube.

    Beautiful John! That truly is a mixed reef which is not easy to pull off. Is that an alveopora at the back?

    I'm with you on the ATO. I have the Tunze also and it's worked flawlessly for 2 1/2 years for me.

    Sorry for being quiet on the forum lately. I used Tapatalk to keep up to date with the group and with the new update, it's not compatible. Anyway, here's the latest full tank shot, front and sides. The ember blenny never shows himself when I'm taking photos.

    I do have a flame hawkfish but he likes to hang under the ledge.[​IMG]
