Jan 2019 Update
It is time to update the Journal with some new developments in my tank.
As mentioned in my previous journal entry, I moved to Gold Coast an year ago and because there are so many SPS frags available in the area, I decided to take on a new challenge: build a tank with 100% aquacultured frags.
One year went by, some frags have become small colonies and the aquarium is starting to look less like a frag tank. It wasn't easy, it required a lot of patience and still does, specially because I wasn't able to do much for the aquascaping, as I couldn't see the base shape the corals would form.
Next phase will begin soon, when I will start moving corals and rocks around to make it more pleasant to see.
In addition, I got tired of the lack of movement of the SPS and decided to start adding some non-aquacultured LPS. Two hammers recently went in and more will be added at a later stage.
Here are some photos:
Strawberry Short Cake - My favourite SPS.

Fire Truck acro ( I think)
Mandarin (he started eating pellets after 2 weeks of training, a new personal record)

Aquaculture Squamosa Clam from Moonson Aquatics
Acans from my previous build.
