Nice looking course ur on too. I love running buckets and excavators. So much fun.
I Would much rather be up on a paver laying Hot Rocks! That's because I am looney tunes haha! Unfortunately you have to dig it out and stone it before you can pave it :eek:

It is a beautiful private course, for sure! We are adding tee to green paths on all 18 holes.

I was adding it (with a heavy hand) to see if colors improved, as anecdotal evidence suggests this might be the case with reds and pinks.
However, I am seeing some damage to corals e.g. slowing down of growth, unexplained STN on the branches of certain corals and very thin flesh on some species especially tenuis.

I have removed the boron with a large water change and will see if this was the case, although I fear when damage is done in this way to a coral of the Acropora sp. it never really recovers or may take months to recover.

Yes we both belong to INDMAS however we are both guilty of being much more active here at R2R and rarely attend the meetings. I went to our swap this year back in March.

looks awesome!! what was the HOB filter is for? i browsed through 10 pages and didnt see what it was for.
Just had it for running carbon when I first started the tank and my laziness has let it continue to run and grow algae haha! No importance whatsoever.
