Thanks guys! Next videos maybe just a tank tour. One after that, types of corals I have currently. More light hearted videos.

I'll try to do one by the weekend.

Been awhile since I updated here. Just before lights out, I counted eleven (11) heads of Torch Euphyilla (glabrescens) in the tank!

I've lost count of my Candy Cane (Caulastraea), there's got to be at least 200-300+ heads!

I can say this with no doubt, I CAN GROW LPS! LOL

I just perused this thread. It has got me thinking about changing my return to a single straight up the back then split. now my return splits at the bottom then rises at each end. Doing it your way wold cut out all the unneeded pipe & friction that comes with it.
Oh Ya I'm jealous of your Monti !

Been real busy with work and the yard at the house, wife bought some used landscape bricks from a lady over by the lake. Cheap, 60+ for $20. Not bad! Yesterday we were placing them down in the front yard. She's been getting the oldest grandson to cut the yard for some money to teach him work ethic. He's 11. Yesterday I was teaching him how to edge the yard with the weed whacker. I think he did a great job!

So, yesterday I did water testing on the tank. N03 is up to 20ppm and my calcium is up over 500! Alkalinity at 9.3. Syphoned my sand bed and did a 20 gallon water change to bring the N03 down. Going to reduce the amount of calcium hydroxide in the ATO Reservoir to bring the calcium down as well.
