Tank took a beating over Christmas. Still alive, but growth has essentially ceased as has PE.

I’m out. My blue ghost gave up the ghost .
Coral never liked my system but most of Adam’s corals do well in my tank, no worries. Good luck to all who are left!

Hi all. @StatelineReefer @BranchingHammer @Reefing102 January submission. Sry to read about the losses amongst the group.

Month 3 update. Blue Ghost v1 (my OG frag) has fully recovered and is loving life (great PE). The v2/replacement frag finally gave up the ghost, I accidentally knocked it off its mount, and it never recovered. The encroaching PC rainbow attacked the v1 so I moved it next to the v2 frag. I'm pleasantly surprised to see I was able to bring my v1 frag back from the brink. As you can see in the pic, most of my SPS are growing like crazy (compare to pic in quote below).

I switched the lenses on my Radions to the high intensity version, then dialed down their intensity to get back to the same par. So far, I'm liking them since mine are mounted ~12" off the water so the 120 degree angle on the stock lenses doesn't really help me.

For my water this month, I've finally switched to full Moonshiners and stopped all water changes. Everything's doing well so far. Next batch of fish arrives this week, so we'll see how that goes for nutrient export.

@Reefing102 @StatelineReefer @BranchingHammer

Month 2 update. I've moved the frags to the spots that I thought they'd do best based on their reactions to the PAR while on the frag rack. So far, it looks like I put them in the correct spots

My OG Blue Ghost (v1 pic) continues to recover- it's starting to get some green now and showing modest PE. My replacement Blue Ghost (v2 pic) hasn't bleached nor lost all its flesh, so *maybe* there's still hope for that one too. The PC Rainbow next to my Blue Ghost frags is starting to encrust out, so I need to keep an eye on it to ensure they all don't go to war and stunt the growth.

For this month's ICP test, I've finally got all the Moonshiners chemicals in, plus mud and vitamins. I've also got the RO-DI filter upgrade to help remove the silicates- you can see a massive improvement from the quoted 1-month update post below. Not pictured but also helping out is a newly purchased and installed (after I had sent the ICP test off, unfortunately) Vecton Titan 850 UV in-line with my return pump.

Finally, I've got fish in the system after going fallow for 4 months after I lost all my previous fish to disease, so I'm happy to have some movement back in the tank!

Seems to like where it’s at as it’s encrusting the plate now! @StatelineReefer @BranchingHammer @Reefing102
