This tank is newly setup around 2 months old. It has great coral growth and has very good water quality. On the sides of the glass there is the beginning of coralline growth and good coralline over all of the liverock. Each coral in the tank has grown at least a little and all are in great shape. The algae is cleaned off the glass about once every week since the phosphates are still a little high. Water changes are performed at 25% every three weeks with the use of RO water.

Here are some more pictures......the first one on the right is a small frag cut from the main colony of the green star polyps.
