still not sure on the galaxea issue? The frags I cut and moved seem to be recovering. Could they have been stinging each other?!?! I have heard their stings can affect each other but I have heard of others keeping them together just fine (mine lived together for a long time?)

Anyway, new to me lights with a DIY mounting solution:

Still dialing things in. . . as always. . .

Added an additional wavemaker I had lying around, hoping to get more flow on the left side to get my euphylia moving!

A few corals were outgrowing their plugs so I made a few frags. . . Hoping to get some credit at the LFS for some long fun clowns!.

Think I’m getting the 2 part dosing dialed in. . . Well getting closer anyway! I did just up the dosing a bit cause I am chasing a higher Alk. Also chasing higher nutrients (just a TINY bit higher) broadcasting Rods Original and aminos (hoping this will make my LPS a bit happier?) . . Things are about the same but I will keep working at it:

Also I made a new mount, same design but more space between the lights. . .

This acro (staghorn?) going nuts!

Some rando acro I bought at my LFS, was red when I bought it. . .

Bird a paradise got a weird growth pattern from over trimming (some on purpose some on accident):

Tried to get a picture of the green birds nest in the back ground:

One of my oldest corals, my pavona, been fragged a few times but still starting to grow into and sting it's neighbors:

My mycedium garden?:

My torch "garden". . . these guys seem to be going OK, but can't seem to get the "explosive" growth I want:

Hydnaphora with some acros in the background:

Candy cane with some SPS in the background:

Another of my "old" corals, purple and green bubble coral:

My frogspawn loving this low light spot. Can see my acan lords feeding in the background:

Some sort of soft coral? Seems to appreciate low light. Not a Kenya tree. . . not sure what it is???:
