It's a badvideo. But still shows Pumba the pyramid in his forever home at the clinics tank

My best viewing of him so far! Way to go Shelley. You saved that guy's life, no doubt.

I did a 5 gallon NSW swap today. Everything already looked great, but this shot of "Crack water" gave the corals and fish a boost of life!

This pic sux, but the dendros are always out now!

Thanks Steve! I haven't been posting as many pics since the Aiptasia-GHA Wars of 2026, but seeing you post often after your move has inspired me to do so. Things are looking better than ever as far as existing corals and the reef itself.

Ya, mine is looking much better and I go some good advice on flow patterning from Adam at PetCo. He noted that my flow was really low and I’m working on that. I’m also trying to up the lights again, slowly. The big Goni is apparently not very happy where it is on the rock in front. If thing don’t change soon I’m going to try another spot , probably on the edge and on the sand.
I also ordered another batch of copepods from marketplace. Trying to get the biology of the tank more vibrant. Ice been adding the Microbacter 7 weekly as well and when I remember I add phyto nightly.
After almost 4 days I still have all my Peppermints so I’m assuming Mantis died before making trip to new location.

I meant to ask you what you thought about that pod seller. Im looking for a robust culture to start raising for all 3 tanks.

Flow is so much more important than aesthetics. It is more critical to filtration, Ph, and nutrient delivery/export than almost anything.

Look at @Rocks reef 's tank. He beats the living daylights out of his corals was with flow, and I've never seen anything like the flesh band he has in his euphyllia and the extension and color of his gonis.

I hear you there ok the flow . I wasn’t afraid to have strong flow in the larger tanks, not sure why I’m being so cautious now.
