Very Nice! Really great stuff in there. Love the scape too. I'm jealous you can grow sps on your sandbed.

What is the green sps with purple tips (second pic)?

What is the blue bonsai with yellow polyps?

My tank is shallow, so i can put SPS on sand bed :)
The green with purple was sold to me by a guy in reefcentral as Mr Pacman. Obviously not a pacman. Must have been a wild one, initially was all green, recently started showing the purple tips. Growing out to be a pretty cool SPS.
The blue bonsai is the Tyree Bali Tricolor

Aaaand let the bare bottom process begin! I tried to like sand, but I hate how they get moved around by the power heads in my shallow tank ( and I use larger grain sand). I will siphon out as much as I can with my 10 gallon weekly water change until sand is all gone. This will probably take several weeks to do.

Are you going to run starboard to prevent impact issues on the bottom? Ran egg crate under the sand on mine, and can't tell if I like the sand or not. Always afraid of a rock slide though.

Thats my Pearlberry. Just starting to color up better. It was in the back, not getting much light. Getting much better PAR now with 8 bulb T5 and starting to get better colors.

My rocks are all 1 piece. No rock avalanche to be worried about. I'm just gonna have the glass bottom.
