Beautiful! The Coral Beauty has grown a lot and looks great too! If you want frags of the blue Monti, setosa and orange digitata that you gave me months back, just let me know.

Thanks Connie!
Dookie is fat and happy ;)... I appreciate the offer on frags. Right now all my montis are in good health. Some of the more invasive ones have been banished to the frag tank until I get my acros to grown in a bit. If any have trouble down the road I'll let you know and maybe I can get a frag. I'm glad they are growing well for you.

Did you buy all that coral since setup or did you transfer it from another tank?

most of them came from a previous tank before I moved from my apartment to my house. I lost almost all my acros in the move due to poor planning on my part so some of the acros are new. I lost a few fish in the move as well so the two clownfish are new. I still have more coral in the frag tank in the basement but I'm trying to keep the display a little less crowded to give my favorites more room to grow.

Love the big, pink/purple scoly. What mode do you usually keep your MP40 on?

Thanks! I love that one too. The MP40 is usually run on 100% on reef crest, but sometimes I change the mode by accident and until I notice its different it runs in another mode.

Update on the anthelia battle: I'd say 80% is gone. A few more treatments with kalkwasser slurry should finish it up. I've been doing it bits at a time to prevent any large changes in pH from the kalwasser. After leaving the kalk on for an hour or so I siphon it off. By the next day or two I can blast off the anthelia where I treated with a turkey baster.
