A few new additions, and updates on growth.
Have a bi-color blenny hiding amongst the macro algae, and just got a lil bi-color angel today, both have adjusted very well, and are happily munching away on anything green they come across.
Hammer coral is doing great, as is the torch, which now takes up a fair portion of the tank!.
My Pagoda never adjusted to tank life for some reason, but the sponge/anemonies are looking fantastic now, moved them into a slightly higer flow, and wow
Everything starting to settle in well now, and all the tank mates are happy with each other, even had a peppermint shrimp come out of hiding and do a lap of the tank in full light! about the same time a hermit was hitching a ride on the sandsifting stars back...
The purple coral- montipora? is begining to spread onto the rock its sitting on.
If you look very closely in the centre, you can see the blenny.

Thanks everyone, & thanks for the tip on the bi-color, will keep an eye on that.
Initially, the polyps on the sponge opened up, then it closed up for a few days, i relocated it to a higher flow area, and its doing REALY well, polyps stay open through the night. I just started feeding "marine snow" and have heaps of little filter feeders springing up all over
Will get a full tank shot tonight when the lights are on..
Unfortunately, the diy overflow didn't work out, it would run fine, then all of a sudden stop for no particular reason & not restart. I don't really have the room, or tools to be trying DIY projects to be honest! moved from the east coast to the west a few years back, and there was only so much I could bring with me.
I've just ordered a lifereef overflow to do the job. Now need to find a tank that will fit in the cabinet next to the chiller, and add a cooling fan to the cabinet.
