Today is also water change day before moving corals tonight.
I'm thinking of getting the drill out to make some holes in an interesting shaped live rock for a nice colored zoa garden since they seem to be really happy.
Anybody else have zoas in a nice color combo set up? I'd love to see pictures!

A few days after my last post, my newer Coral Beauty decide to beat up my female clown. Her dorsal fin and tail were frayed and she had a swollen left eye with an ulcer on it. Took me all day but I caught the pair of clowns and put them into my 10G quarantine tank. They love it there and have full recovered with no need for medication, just tincture of time. I was so worry I'd lose one or both of them.

Current parameters:
55G DT: 10G QT:
T = 78 T = 78
Sg = 1.024 Sg = 1.026
Alk 2.63 Alk 2.81
NH4 0 NH4 0
NO2 0 NO2 0
NO3 20 NO3 10
PO4 0.02 PO4 0.02
Ca 500 Ca 480
Mg 1340 Mg 1300

Here are some

I hope your tank is still doing well, I would love to hear what you're doing for filtration?
