Awesome! That is where I'm looking forward to getting to. However, I'm not sure I ever will, but that's part of what I love about the hobby, too. :)

Right! I've taken a 180 degree turn. I used to stress and worry and constantly think about how I could do something better. Now I just shrug my shoulders, do my maintenance and enjoy it. LOL

It was weird going into the LFS the other day and not even caring about looking at anything because I knew I couldn't add it to the tank anyways. Strange feeling...

Small Update

Decided it was time to frag the red monti as it was starting to shade many other corals. My main concern was it shading the purple monti but that is no longer a concern as I fragged the beast in many sections.

This worked out for several club members as I fragged it while they were at the house for the meeting.

I also added a booster pump to my RO/DI system and now instead of running at 40psi I am running just under 80psi and I can tell you that the booster pump makes a huge difference not only in lower TDS coming out of the membrane, but the output of the product water as well. Win/Win situation if you ask me.

Haha yeah Monti's tend to do that, I recently cut a frag off of each of my two colonies and gave the colonies away and kept the frags for myself... LOL gonna have to do it again soon.

 

[schooleyosis]

Nice. I wish my others would grow like the red one does.

Hey Ryan, where'd you get he booster pump from? I don't squat for pressure through mine for some reason.

Lost my Niger Trigger today. Not sure what happened to it. It was eating fine on Sunday. It looked ok, no signs of parasites or scrapes/war wounds just acting a little strange last night. Came home today and it was a goner. By far my favorite fish and one of the hardest losses I've had in the tank. I'll definitely get another in the near future.

Sorry for the loss. No injury from the foxface?

 

[schooleyosis]

Thanks man. No injuries that I could see. I was thinking the same thing though... But they never had issues in the past so I don't think that was it. Very, very strange....

 

[bknapp]

Sorry about losing the trigger. It was a cool fish.

 

[schooleyosis]

Thanks B.

Thanks Kevan.

 

[NeveSSL]

Sorry to hear about your trigger, Ryan. Are you considering replacing him?

Thanks Brandon. Yes I'll get another one after the swap!
