That’s amazing progress!
What lights are you using?
I read MH above but I also see LED from the reflections.

Looking good. I guess that bold strategy is working out for you.

With that many corals, I would start a frag tank or not. Hehe
250hqi 20k with reefbrite lumilite pro actinic
It's not bold, all went according to plan. People make things way harder and more complicated than they need to be...
Not sure how long you been in this hobby, but it's not about making things more complicated. Some of us have been doing this over a decade and have a lot of experience with success and failures. Rarely you can start a tank and stock it full of corals and be successful. Keyword rarely.
Not to be rude but let's see where you are at in 6 months.
Also, I'm seeing a lot of acros missing from the 1st post along with no more clam. Again, not trying to bash your methods, its just rare to be successful going down this path. But, it's a lesson we all have learned, hence the feedback and shock you would get from reefers who been doing this for a long time.
You think stores wait for months to stock a new coral system?
