Fairly new at the reef experience, this is my first set up - a 26 gal bowfront. It's been running about 9 months. Mostly softs/LPS.

Here's a before and after. First pic is from December. Second pic is after Detritus helped me out with more liverock.






Looking foward to the DIY this weekend....

Newest Coral to the tank - Alveopora sp. from JRE. My wife couldn't leave the "little flowers" in the shop. I hope it doesn't starve...anyone out there that has had one of these last a couple years?



Same piece under Blue LED moonlight.



I've had this Sun Coral (Tubastraea) in the tank since last August. Feed it about 1-2 times/week. Still making new growth...



LTA that has done pretty well. Eats like a horse. Feeding it silvers/shrimp. I really haven't seen the pink skunk feed it much.



Glove polyp (Clavularia sp.) Hasn't spread like I thought it would. Has stayed isolated to its own piece of LR.

Very nice tank, great variety. Alvepora is a great coral, in my experience not that easy to keep. I would target feed it when you feed your sun coral. They like moderate light and can bleach out under halides.
