Big update coming tonight. Just finished taking the pictures over the weekend.
 
Here's the three months interval update. Everything is growing and improving. I added a bit more rocks and got more frags. I'm always buying frags lol.
Tank is currently getting some dino algae. I'm not too worry about it as I don't see anything is being killed by it but I really should do the 3 day light off. Just hard to find something to completely cover the tank.

Let's start with the fish. I'm finally content with the fish stock. It was sort of a battle with wish since the tank had a pretty bad case of itch at the end of last year.
I don't have anything special for fish. These are your common reef safe fish. Currently in the tank, I have
7x Lyretail Anthias
3x green chromis
3x blue reef chromis
2xcarpenter flasher wrasse
1xlinespot flasher wrasse
2x onyx clowns
1xBipartitus Leopard wrasse
1xpurple tang
1x Sailfin Tang
1xYellow Tang


Blue Reef Chromis.

And best of all, my orange, red acanthrophyllia. The colors really pop on this one.

While my rocks are dominated by SPS, the sandbed is dominated by LPS.

So Jealous right now! Everything looks beautiful!
I can not wait to see it when everything grows in more! Great photos as well!!!
 
The blue chromis looks pretty good. Is there any fighting between the purple and yellow tang?
 
Thanks guys. There's nothing to be envy about. Anyone can do this.

Bao,
The blue reef chromis are something different you see for chromis but they are still chromis and do peck at each other. I started with 5 and now down to 3. When I see a large gash on the side of the chromis, I know it's not going to make it. They're also 4x the price of a blue/green chromis.
The tangs all get along fine. The purple and the sailfin did harass the yellow tang initially. The yellow tang is smaller and the last tang that I put in the tank.
