So I’ve had this single head of Duncan for two months, just waiting for it to grow some new heads. Finally about a week ago I noticed a new head. When I was checking in on it today I noticed a second. Woo wooo!

Everything is ticked off I moved it and chipped it off frag plugs and my lights are on their way down but I can’t resist an end of the night shot. I would have to say the tank is now fully stocked. Ha.

Well, Friday felt like tragedy. I reached in to do something and my rock pile shifted and...well, it required a lot of work.
Saturday AM, I got up, mixed water, and made various buckets and tubs and removed all the SPS and had to shift the whole pile.
After everything was said and done, I think it actually looks better than it did. I didn't lose anything in the shuffle, either.

Yeah, thats a favorite right now. The picture didn't really do it justice as the very top of it is bright pink. The skin is pink/blue/green/white/brown and the polyps are orange. Its a 'Forest Fire Digi'.

I have another one in the frag rack in the back, which isn't as cool looking with the colors, but is branching out a bit more.
Don't mind the photo bomber...

So. Just a quick update.
I removed the AI Prime 16HD and installed a Radion XR30. It’s definitely overkill. Great coverage though, as the light is about the same size as the top of the tank.
I’m too cheap to spring for a $100+ mount, though so I ended up using a desk mounted monitor stand and making risers out of 2x4:
Also I replaced the old powerhead (Sicce 1000) with a Hygger Mini. Flow is a lot better although I’m still not convinced I’ve got it just right yet.
I’m running the AI David Saxby profile thru Mobius on the light at 35%.
Without a par meter getting the light right will be an interesting endeavor.
