Looking solid as always bub!

Curious, do your monti caps ever interact negatively with your sticks at the base etc?

Thank you! And yes, they cause all sorts of problems. I need some montipora eating flatworms to fix it!

If you have luck like me, you would get acro eating monti feeding one instead.

How do u manage it? Kalk paste or something? Or do u just scrape back the monti?

I just scrape it back and break it off where it peels off the rock. My acros are growing fast enough in some areas to also shade it and keep it in check.

I know I've been slacking. My son came home last week and I have been busy taking care of stuff with him, along with being busy at work. So... the aquarium is a mess but top down shots are always easy.


Here is part of the top left of the tank.

And part of the top right

This is going to be my favorite stag one day. It's a Battlestag from Adam. It's one of two fairly small frags in my tank of it. I split it to see if it would grow better in different conditions.

LOVE your “neglected” tank my friend!

 

[Flippers4pups]

Looks very good!

 

[ksed]

Looks fantastic as usual.

 

[Brew12]

Here are some more I took that I didn't have time to post.

 

[cmaxwell39]

Everything is looking fantastic. What is the second one in that last batch? Pearl berry? It looks fantastic whatever it is.

I have no idea, but it isn't a Pearlberry. It came from Adam at Battlecorals. The names mean nothing to me so I don't keep track once they are in the tank for the most part. I only know a few of them.

I do have a Pearlberry in my tank, I think it is the left tabling coral of the two in the first picture in my first post today.

 

[cmaxwell39]

Thanks. I will have to find it on Adam’s site.
