That Setosa just continues to grow!

Totally. Really glad it was sent my way.

It's interesting - one of the slowest growing Montipora species in my experience but it seems to have the least amount of problems with nuisance algae as well.

I've had Montis Caps start growing algae in the middle of the colony, Digitatas start growing algae on the tips of branches, and Encrusting Montis get hemmed in by bubble and hair algae and start receding but my Setosa has dislodged bubble algae and grow over GHA. Even Aiptasia didn't seem to phase it.

Thats awesome!! I had my tank overrun with GHA for a good while,there wasn't anything in the tank at the time though,other than a colony of zoas. Also thanks for following along.

I gave Joshua a bunch of frag stands for his Easter sale at the little reef shop. I think he has candy for the kids, and Easter egg hunt and a raffle. That’s the biggest weekend update I have. :)
Aside from a triple header kids soccer game.

Some updates of sorts:
I removed the @IOAOI skimmer. Despite keeping it regularly cleaned,it wouldn't want to turn back on often,or keep level when on. So that left about a week ago.

I also put a set of 35s on my Jeep today.

I know you are not using the blade light the helloreef came with but if you did what setting would you use? I feel like the anemone and clownfish setting is just so plain white and ugly. I'm trying the LPS and soft coral setting out. I have a couple of nems and clowns some small corals I'm trying out but I'm more interested in the nems thriving

Im not sure to be honest, I swapped lights immediately so didn't really get into the details on settings.

Your anemone is looking great! Also, you said you put 35s on your jeep. Do you have pictures of your jeep?
