Just thought I would share some tank updates. The pitcures dont do it justice as the colors are distorted.
Tank 1 is a Red Sea Max 130D.
The tank is over 4 years old old. No sump or refugium. Just a canister filter
Livestock includes: Ghost ribbon eel (3+ years old), mated pair ocellaris clowns (about a year), tribal blenny, and all the basic snails and crabs...the eel has never once ate any of my livestock. He is pretty chill!
Corals include: Blue button polyps, rainbow rhodactis mushrooms, neon red/blue rhodactis mushrooms, watermelon mushrooms, blue mushrooms, ricordea mushrooms, misc. mushrooms, xenia, toadstool, yellow polyps, gsp, duncan coral, huge bubble tip anemone, multicolored lobophyilla, neon orange/greem/purple brain coral, kenya tree, montipora, anthellia coral, misc. tan/green button polyps, misc. green/purple brain, and so much more!

Tank 2 is a Innovative Marine 16.
Only a little bit over a month old. I seeded it with everything out of my main tank (water, rock, sand, etc...). Everything is healthy, and tests are exactly where they need to be early on. Cut the cycle pretty much out. Added the IM skimmer and IM media reactor with the IM LED lighting
Livestock: a few blue/green chromis.
Corals: This is going to be mainly a coral tank. All propagated coral will go in this tank as well as an outgrow tank. In the tank now is a rainbow brain that I thought had pretty much died in the main tank after a previous fish died and probably let out toxins that left the brain with hardly any skin left. The brain has regrown in a short period of time, but no longer has its bright rainbow colors. So hopefully in comes back. Also in the tank is: blue xenia, regular xenia, rainbow rhodactis coral colony, gsp, candy cane coral, propogated watermellon and bright red/blue rhodactis muschrooms, kenya frags, fairy palys, elephants ear, orange/purple lobophyilla, and tan/green button polyps that I'm trying to save!
