tribbitt's 20L Nano Build

It's been a month since I pulled out all my montis, and I've been doing my best to fill in the gaps they've left. I'm definitely missing the vibrant pops of warm color, especially on the SPS side where there's not as much orange as I'd like. But the tank still looks alright, I've got some warm-colored acros to fill in the space, and I just need them to color up and grow.

Side view: one photo straight on the reef, and one photo pointing at the inside of the front glass to get the reflection for a different angle

Nice growth on the Hawkins Echinata. Only really took off at the 8 month mark, so this is 5-6 months of growth

I just got a sudden burst of growth tips on the first Acro I ever got, which had been encrusting for the entire year I've had it. It's the one that I got 3 months in, and fragged up to save from RTN. Nice little highlights of yellow on the rims of the corallites. It's usually fuzzier too, but turning off the flow irritated it

Sunkist bounces look alien when they're eating. I should film a time lapse!

I figured out that my phone was making the whole tank look cloudy/blurry because the exposure was too high. But manually tweaking the exposure is hard, so please bear with me as I figure it out lol

Looking good! What are those zoas you have on discs on the bottom left sandbed?
