Sorry, I forgot to reply.
I'm currently doing 400ml of ALK and 70ml of Calcium each day. I've just upgraded my doser from a jebao dp4 to a coral box wifi doser

Been a while since I updated.
Had a play with the D&D lens and thought these were good. I'll get a more recent pic/video done soon as I've trimmed down more and added some new frags[emoji41]

I was planning on doing a proper update in the next few days when I had pics / video but Ill do it now and follow up with those
So some good news and bad news.
So, since Xmas my wife and I have been making arrangements for a house extension, planned for sometime in October. This was going to allow me to get an upgrade. We had drawings completed and I had even been on to some tank suppliers getting quotes for the new tank, a 7x 2.5 x2.5 peninsula which would have been build into the new kitchen as a room divider.
Because these plans were well underway and everything moving along nicely I made the decision to start fragging down my tank , for 2 reasons.
1. I didn't want to add huge colonies into a new system, I wanted to add large frags only
2. Any frags sold would help pay for the new tank and any equipment I may need
So since Xmas I've been gradually fragging down the corals and setting aside any cash I got.
BUT.....
Only 3 weeks ago the company I work for have declared they are selling the plant I work in so there is uncertainty and no job security in my current position so it would be foolish to continue with the extension plans, so they are now postponed / cancelled for the foreseeable future.
The good news tho is with selling all the frags I was able to set aside a few coins for a rainy day and also pick up some really nice pieces in frag swops.
I've re arranged the tank slightly by adding more rock / ledges for the new pieces to be positioned. I also removed a lot of the digitata and montipora that were taking up too much real estate.
The new pieces are: (Writing the list so I can use it as a reference)
Yellow Spat
Highlighter
Blue Tort
Hairy bear
Pink Cadillac
Fireworks Acro
Bali shortcake
Rainbow shortcake
Cherry blossom
Wolverine Acro
Cherry bomb Acro
Pink lemonade Acro
Raspberry lemonade Acro
Unknown rainbow Acro
Forest Fire millipora
Bubblegum Millipora
Rainbow Millipora
Red Planet Acro
Purple / blue Formosa
Yellow table Acro
Cherry Candy Acro
Orange blue sky Acro
Hellfire Acro
Walt Disney
Wild Wald Disney
Homewrecker
Blue tip Latistella
Rainbow Acans

Here's some pics of when I first got the frags. They are all mounted not and no loses so far.
And a top down pic with the filer showing the colours, its seems to be the only time I can get the colours????

Sorry to hear about your job situation.
The uncertainty is always the heaviest part.
I hope all will clear out soon.
That frag lost is beyond impressive.
Wow.
When those start showing their true colours, your tank will lighten up.
Awesome.

I don't drink either[emoji1787][emoji1787]Stunning Tank!?
For Irish tanks, do you need to dose Whiskey instead of vodka?
I'm a simple old beer drinker
