My favorite in my tank SBB Red Bee
Put him front and center standing at attention.

Man those things are rocking in that flow super fuzzy. Well done man, that's awesome to watch.
 
No aiptasia, or flatworms Walker? I recently added a little more flow to my hammers and I can't believe how much better they look in just a few days. And my hammers that looked good, look even better. Wishing you the best buddy
Nope, luckily I was able to get berghia a few months back and the aiptasia were gone.

Not sure about the flatworms, they seemed to have just dissapered.

I'll try that next, John! Thanks for the tip! You're awesome!

Yes I agree Walker!
John IS awesome!
 
Well look who just got their YouTube privileges restored and made a video for his friends!
This guy that’s who

Oh my. This is amazing!!! This will be so fun to watch grow in.

Have you had dinos in this tank before?
 
Evening folks.

Crazy busy day today. I got a few appointments done. Not the best day, buts it's good that I got them all out of the way.

The poly fil is removing tons of dinos. I still see a lot on the rocks, but it looks like it's beginning to stop coming back as hard!

Also, my calcium and all for reef are coming today! My magnesium test was an error, I got a new test kit and my mag levels are in check. My hammer still doesn't look good though... :confused:
As John says, flow plays an important role, par is another important thing. Have you tried moving it? What is happening to it? Is the flesh band receding and not opening properly?

Yes twice two different strains at the same time, super easy to get rid of fairly easy to understand. simple instructions.

You give me hope!
 


Here's a video of my hammer corals flow. The first few seconds there really isn't much flow, but it picks up after that.
