If only there was a way to tell if my tank was ready.... just coming off a Dino infestation, a few more weeks and I’ll take the plunge
 
Have you got any coral in there now?
Yeah I do. A bunch of stuff survived, euphillia, Duncan, blastose all thrived but all my acros brown out and died over the course of months the montipora too there is just a sliver of red left but somehow the Cyphastrea is thriving and doubled it’s the only encrusting coral that survived.

The tanks about 15 months old now and outbreak started in December. Since then I ditched the fuge for a skimmer, bought a uv system mid feb and combined with elevated temperature I seem to have brought dinos under control. Even so I still got a bloom of the stringy Dino hair Last month after a water change so who knows how long it will keep popping up.

Any suggestions on when what to look for as assurance that the tank is ready for acros and recovered? So far, pods are back on the glass, Coraline is growing, a few algee spots popped up but I can’t tell if it’s not growing well or just getting eaten. But id hate to rush things and Kill off $200 of corals.
 
I thought it was supposed to be over, but the sale is still up!

I just received my fathers day battle box my wife and daughter ordered over the weekend looks like 8 frags, a quick look and all seem healthy in the bags, have em floating since the temp of bags seemed a little chilly from packing, gonna put them on a rack to keep a eye on them. Ended up being 8 frags didnt look at names for know gonna give it an hour before I drop them in on the rack in dt and keep a close eye on them. Will see what I received. Atleast they made it right on time. Then my dilemma is finding a home for them in my dt.
