Neat Idea- I should have started something like that a year ago- I have purchased so many different pieces I have no idea the names anymore or which one is which. I might have to start this to help keep track!

All beautiful, but that Midas Blenny has some awesome color. Beautiful specimen.
Thank you!

Midas Blennies have always been a favorite of mine. This one is electric blue to gold. It amazed me when I got him. I almost wondered if Live Aquaria sent the wrong kind [emoji4]

What kind of Anemone is this?
Just a regular old RBTA. That one was covered by the momma in the original owners tank, hence the color.

You can see a new image of it in the FTS on the left side. It is now two and much more "normal" in color.

Great growth!

You won't believe the growth I have had on an unnamed acro. It has shot out like crazy..

Let me see if I have pictures already.. and I do, but the most impressive will be my January picture. I'll work on one of those today :)

looks like a great build.

how is everything going?

It is going well and thanks for the kind comment!

Since adding the KHG-Monitor, alkalinity has been really stable and it has warned me to make some corrections. It is crazy how quickly corals decide they need alkalinity and uptake increases immediately and significantly. I have now raised my daily dosage 3x what it was when I started using the KH-G. Without it, I probably wouldn't have noticed the dip as quickly which may have ticked off some of the corals.

I also switched to ATI Essentials (standard) three part dosing which was just replaced by their professional version which is all the same goodies in a 2-part dose. When I did this, I have also stopped doing water changes and have been monitoring my major, minor, and trace elements with ICP testing. So far so good.
