@TaylorW Thanks! Those are zoanthids. I got them in a group buy at Cuttlefish in what I think was March of 2018. I started with 4 and now it is crazy. I have one reference to the name as being 'Rainbow Zoas'.

My reef is housed in a 140 gallon in wall acrylic aquarium built by James at Envision Acrylics.

This is my second attempt at making the reef thing work. I had a more primitive version of this setup back in 2008 but it was less successful and I took close to a decade off.

This time I am trying to be more focused and take advantage of the new methods and technology. It seems to be working except for a manageable amount of cyanobacteria.

The vast majority of the coral came from this community. Huge shout out to @shaywood @badxgillen @EMeyer  @Emerald525 @pdxmonkeyboy @goldenbasketreef @CuttleFishandCoral for all the amazing coral.

I am using BRS 2part, Acropower, and NOPOX

Sweet tank

Thanks for posting this. It is a great reminder that I need to dig deeper into my Apex.

Mind blown for real. Thanks!

Looks like you are off to a great start. Saltwater tanks can be really rewarding. The longer you keep the key elements stable the easier it becomes. 

Blennies for sure. Shrimp also have tons of personality.

Very nice!

Nice! It is amazing how far the looks of skimmers have come. Someone in the porta potty industry should take note.
