I'm planning to retire my G1 250 soon. Luckily no leaks, but the design is insane (front glass has zero support from stand as @Turkeysammich mentioned). There is a tempting Black Friday IM sale right now...

Man, that was an ugly win!

Is the board you're looking for not available through EchoTech Parts store link below? https://store2.ecotechmarine.com/collections/vortech-1?page=2

None in my tank now, although I have my eye on the poscillapora. From the past: GSP Kenya Trees Blue or Green Discosoma Brown Zoas Hollywood stunner chalice

November update: Re-arranged some coral. Added a cool nepthea from the swap. Trying to keep my hands out of the tank. Time to enjoy it and let it grow!

It looks like it had some bounce too. Bummer =(

Oh, you're saying the pic I linked doesn't look like montipora spongodes? This was taken from the Biota Group. I trust them and it looks similar to what I've seen before, but I guess it's possible they incorrectly classified it.

Looks like a montipora spongodes to me? Could be wrong, but looks a lot like other pictures I see.

Gotchya, that makes sense. Thanks!

I see "2-3 Color Jawbreaker Mushroom" in the ultra list and "Jawbreaker Mushroom" in the bonus list. As far as I know, most Jawbreaker disco have at least 2 colors. Take the example below (2 colors), would this be considered ultra or bonus?

You definitely wanna bring Alk up to at least 7dKH. I would fix that with soda ash (or similar product) manually. Just go slowly to not shock anything. I've raised mine by 0.5dKH/day without any problems.

Like others have said, most reef tanks struggle for the first year (especially if you start from dry rock/sand). If you don't give up, it will be extremely rewarding. If you end up deciding to re-home your fish, there are plenty of experienced reefers here who can give your fish a good home.
