So far the tank is doing great, salinity level is stable which worried me a little bit, so far so good. Today I picked some frags from Franky, I'll let the pics talk.
First project: This is a Pink Boobies Chalice that doesn't have its original color, so I'll make sure it comes back.

It's on radiant mode with 10% intensity and it will stay there.

Hello, long update. The tank is doing great so far. Water changes are being done every week and I'm not going through a lot of top off water. Water barely evaporates and the corals are doing good. Here are a couple of pictures.

and the FUP&A Lightning Shroom, it got bigger since I got it. He is not wide open on the pic.

More corals to come in a month from now. RAP.

Yeah. Now the challenge for the sps will be trying to get them to grow out of the water.

I guess is time for a little update. It turned out that I can't keep acans so I'm done with them. I got two fish in the tank. A purple pseudochromis and a dragon face pipefish, both of them are doing well so far. Here is a quick pic of the tank, I'm getting a new bounce this weekend. I'll post more pics of each coral over the weekend. I'll have more corals after march 11th lol. Enjoy.

It's been a while. Here are some pics of a few corals and fish.
Set up. 8.6g with a radion, last generation. I have the lights on radiant mode and it peaks up to 30%. I made a couple of changes on the timing period.
 photo CE68E034-3D45-4E13-AE67-E890D25C373F_zps8aqqdear.jpg
I have two fishes in the tank, a mocha clown and a pipefish. I had a purple dotty (little sister's fish) that ended up jumping out couple weeks ago so she replaced it with a clownfish. Very friendly clown, comes up to the top every time someone passes by or looks at the tank.

I need a name for this guy lol.

I have this obsession for mushroom. Goal is to obtain all of the bounced mushroom out there. FFM will help a lot.
Uranium Toxic Bounced Mushroom
 photo 1E6523B8-9E85-4AA8-98F9-EE0626DACEB0_zpsdejog0fh.jpg
I found this little cool shroom at a local fish store and I think I scored for $14.99. Later I found out it has a baby. The baby is currently in another plug glued and it's doing good.
 photo B0622B2B-0CBB-4B1D-AFB5-D60E3B1A1C05_zpsm1saug6v.jpg
This is supposed to be a Warty Mushroom. The colors are supposed to be gold and purple. I'm trying to get its color back.
 photo E5484713-B2FF-48FD-866B-323D0616271A_zpsa2k9pelt.jpg
CB Orange Bubble Bounce Mushroom. It's about 1-1/2" when fully opened.
 photo E7F1442C-BFAD-4216-B1C3-54C499AAA6F9_zpsjyidnhkf.jpg
As far as polyps, I don't have much at the moment. Once again waiting for FFM to get some nice goodies.

This is my chalice corner.
CB Flaming Bugatti and JF Crazy Fox. I also have an original Pink Boobies Chalice (lineage to Puppy Center) and a watermelon chalice, they are projects. Got them a bit beat up and they are currently healing. I will post progress on them in the next couple of days.
 photo C3305547-082C-4F47-8A70-E173D169E56A_zpsmpxaz85f.jpg
The tank has been running for about a year now, I believe. It's time to get into sps and my testing sps piece is a Green Slimmer. Now let's see how it goes. Also, snails are doing their job cleaning the frag rack lol.

Now all you need is an OG WWC Bounce, PZ Godspawn Bounce and WWC Sunkist Bounce to complete your collection.
