Okay. So what happened here?

Tank is still wet

At least it took you one night to get the tank wet not like some other people in the forum

------Spring training update ------

So by a stroke of luck, I realized that I filled this tank one year ago thanks to the pushing of b11. The tank is packed full of corals and I just added some sticks over the past few weeks. Some of corals toward the sides need more light but that will be taken care of shortly with the addition of a Kessil or two.

Initially, I said:
No sticks - Broke that.
Will not overstock the tank - Broke that.
Will not set up a dosing system - Broke that.

Current fish list:
Flame Wrasse
Green Mandarin
Ruby Red Dragonet
3 x Bartlett's Anthias
Mated pair of Darwin's Oscillaris
Cryptic Wrasse
Yellow Watchman Goby
Blue Spotted Goby
Randall's Goby
Midas Blenny

Holy smokes - Even more fish than I thought! See you next year! GO GIANTS!

A couple of pics via the coral viewer and a FTS. One of these days I'll take the time to break out a real camera!

All those corals look so big! Is that a jawbreaker I see?

Yup, I have 8-10 Jawbreakers in there. Some are hidden between the rocks.

I've had a lot of the colonies for quite a while. They've made it through tank crashes and then some. For scale, the big green patch in the middle of the tank is a chili pepper monti about 12" in diameter. I wasn't thinking real clearly when I put it there and the next thing you know it encrusted the whole rock. Oh well.

Meh, it's ok...I'll trade you Need more sticks and I need them to grow faster. Wife wants more 'flowy' corals like your tank!

[Enderturtle]

How fast do your jawbreakers grow/drop babies?

Just come by and take some stick home

Not quite sure to be honest. There are a bunch that are less than dime sized so I'll assume those came about within the past 2 months? The larger ones are just starting to develop the red streaks.
