Wow I really need to update this thread! I cant believe its been since December since I last posted on it.

Well I lost 95% of my SPS due to not being able to get Triton Core 7 in time. I switched to my old 2 part mix and had a huge ALK drop. All of the SPS died within a 2-3 week period after that. So now I'm done with SPS (for the 4th time) and concentrating on making this tank mainly a euphyllia tank.

I decided to use up the replacement shipment of Triton that BRS sent me since my original cartons leaked. I truly believe the Triton Core 7 is a great product. I just wish a more reliable company owned it. As we speak it is out of stock on BRS , although Unique Coral has some stocked. I am still going to use Triton since its what Ive used for quite a while now...and it works great, cheap and very easy to use. Its almost fool proof.

Here is a few quick pics of the reef this past weekend.

Freshly cleaned tank always has me walking by the tank staring!

side ****!

Fed the Acantho for the first time this weekend. It swelled up big time!

My sand sifting starfish fell on to my plate coral. @Kman237 do you remember this plate you sold me for $10 It has at least doubled in size!

FTS

Did my first water test in over 2 months. Everything is still perfect. This is why i'm still using Triton!

I do remember!!! That plate is looking food!!! The tank is looking awesome man! nice photos!

Nothing has really changed much except the fact that my Pandora Palys are exploding in growth and they are becoming a nuisance . Why cant the be CAR's or some other decent rainbow looking polyp.

Took the Turf Algae Scrubber off to see how NO3 and PO4 change over the next month.
I could start a Stomatella farm with all the Stomatella that are in my fuge. They have also started to become a nuisance!

I have also took out the Reef Octopus 110 INT Protien Skimmer and upgraded to a Bubble Magus Curve 7. I do not think I will ever go back to a Reef Octopus Skimmer. This Skimmer is so nice, simple and pulls out the nastiest black gunk I have ever seen.

note to self. clean out skimmer cup ;Vomit

Nice!!! I love bubble mag skimmers. I have owned many in the past and they have pulled some nasty stuff like yours.

Fabulous looking tank!! I'm a big euphyllia fan, it will all look even more amazing when they turn into bigger colonies and fill the tank. Great info on what your using, thanks.
