This HW got badly injured from a bailed polyp after turning the flow up. I doubt im going to keep any aggressive LPS anymore.

Excited to see there things will be at the 1 year mark.at this point, I'm just about of room, less a couple edges to mount a couple choice pieces.

Now, off to grow and color up these things.

A little over 10 month update.

Corals are starting to grow in and I'm beginning to realize some of the placement is not ideal. Shading has become a problem and things are already require a bit of a haircut. Getting tools in there to cut is already pretty tight and I imagine things getting even more cramped.

I'm about a month in to the moonshiners system and things are looking promising. Growth took off with established pieces and colors from some browned out pieces that didn't ship well are returning slowly but surely. I recieved this POTO afterburner as dark as a tootsie roll and am starting to see some shades of color beginning to show itself.

PE is definitely more pronounced with all the traces in line.

I ran out of room on the rockwork so added a small shelf on the back wall from reefrocks. Not porus at all, but serves its purpose.

Overall, pretty happy for its first 10 months of being wet. One thing I do miss is the hard shimmer lines of MH. While the Straton is great with spread and provides some shimmer, I may be throwing a kessil or two up top for some hard point source lighting.
