I also picked up a piece of this one from Neptune’s, it’s really cool with turquoise base/polyps and pink/red corallites. Looks happy in your tank!

Oh nice, yeah I really like that one. The pink caught my eye when I saw it at Neptune. I just got it last week, should be interesting to see how it matures and if I can keep the colors. Will be nice to compare it to your piece

Thanks! Let me know, I’d be down to do that sometime. Really the Avast porthole is a game changer. I’m having way to much fun with it lol. Still have a ways to go before I get on the level of some of the members here

Been a very long time since an update. The tank has had it's ups and downs during this time with the tank being in autopilot for awhile. Fish have done great throughout, but have lost many corals in that time. However my Sunkist bounces have thrived, and my BTA is still there since the start. A few months back started focusing on controlling excess nutrients from the bioload with a restarted refugium and carbon/Lanthanum Chloride dosing. The frag swap definitely helped me jump start my active engagement with my tank. Starting up a more regular WC schedule. Also picked up a trident that I plan to setup soon in the next couple of weeks, and will be using the mini enclosure @Srt4eric so kindly gave to me. Here is a current video of the tank and its inhabitants.
