One of the corals I bought from AquaSD a couple months ago I bought because it looked like it had the potential to be a combination or blue, red, and green. AMAZING!!!

Well as corals directly from the ocean tend to do, it completely lost those colors and became a drab green with nice blue tips. Yeah it looked nice, but nothing special. Well tonight I was looking at it with actinics on, and it looks like red is starting to slowly reappear! Whoop! So pumped if this trend continues, it could be a real stunner if it does.


And here's my little collection of "high end" frags. Im currently in a stage of "high end" expansion for a better coral portfolio I just think they look pretty.

I should mix me up some fish food also, Great looking tank!!
Thanks! It sure has hit its stride lately. Although my Alk did swing from 11 to 5 last week when the CO2 tank ran empty without me noticing. Luckily it just resulted in a couple burned tips and not a single casualty. When an aquarium is healthy, corals sure can take quite a beating!

Took some PAR measurements in the tank today. As expected, high readings directly under the LEDs, lower towards the front of the tank and as it gets deeper.

Added a gorgeous gem today! I'm hopeful it lives a long life, it's such a colorful specimen.


The RR Firecracker is coming along nicely
