Thanks! It really does put things into perspective

and some pics that are just nice to look at It took me a bit to realize that the best way to get color true pics were to just take them at full spectrum. I just didn't like the pressure this put on the Radions, the fans would get really loud and they'd get hot. Final pic is of my chicago...

This particular piece came to me bleached. in the span of a few weeks It went from white during the day to a cool green with red polyps. Still looking forward to seeing it grow and color up more.

Finally, some pictures to enjoy! I finally got my tank to the point where I can notice growth, I love cataloging growth through pics. These are some of my favorites.

Fish are doing well! In addition to those previously listed, Newest additions to the tank include: Purple Tilefish Female Bellus Angelfish (was hoping for a pair, but didn't want issues between the bellus and the swallowtail) Currently in quarentine: 3x Pyramid Butterflyfish Yellow Fin Tang...

The lower fin coloration is one for me, but I'd say the dorsal spike as well pertains to the schooling bannerfish

I've had a various inquiries for updates, so here goes! Things were running smoothly around November/December. fish were growing, the few corals that survived the transfer were growing. the zoa garden was doing smoothly, I started with my first $15 acros and they seemed to be doing ok. It went...

I mean at least it's being used? I'd call it wasted if it was sitting in a box not doing anything.

I think for mp40s you have issues if it's too thin. That's why you can adjust the thickness of the glass with the rubber border. I think they come with spacers as well, and the thickest one let's you run it on glass less than 1/4"

before setting up the tank, did you cure, bleach, or do a muriatic acid bath to the rock?

Happy april fool day! This gave me a good laugh. anyone want the torch? I'm only getting it for the collectible aptasia https://coralsanonymous.com/products/wysiwyg-og-dark-grail-aiptasia

They're amphipods

Those are amphibious. I think tisbes are best. But it's good to have a diversity of both. I'm not sure if amphipods get too big for mandarins or not

So all the dead non removed matter on the rocks coul cause the imbalances. Whether it's the source of the specific algae issues you has, I'm not sure. But it does cause some issues. I just diluted and drained the muriatic acid in a corner of the yard.

This is true, they make chlorine gas which can be fatal. Thats why you always let the rocks sit outside after a bleach soak anyways, to let the chlorine evaporate from it.

Make sure that if you do use acid, you wear proper protection including safety glasses, a mask, and rubber gloves. And that you add the acid to the water, not the other way around.

Might be dead sponge or algae tissue reacting. Bleach doesn't remove dead stuff on rocks, it kills them. That's why people usually have algae issues when they start, all the dead matter being eaten by the new bacteria sets up a nutrient issues. Whenever possible, muriatic acid baths are much...

Facebook groups get hostile fast. It's why I always try to recommend them to the forums when I can, it's much friendlier and a more lax place to ask questions

Drama between LFS caused it to be shut down.
