It was this big... Now its this big...

Very interested in this. As we know where the antibiotic market sits now. :\
They looked much better yesterday evening. were showing more polyp extension. Im wondering if any other antibiotic ointment would be good, maybe to use at the same time. it would be a very cheap alternative, and much easier to come by.

I am considering doing one of the @AquaBiomics tests to see what may be in my water, but that will have to wait until i get my long list of other things taken care of.

I got a grail variant splitting, God knows every time I try to share, things go all out chaotic on me. So, I used my last bit of cipro on an infected coral. I forgot who it was. The options now are dim.

Exactly what happened with the pretty shroom I was supposed to send. It died. Shoulda never looked at it

Im still trying. I hate the prices and would love to still share with friends, as we all love to spread that love. It's now a matter of waiting on my morphed ginger to make morphed pups, or I cut her up.

First batch of neosporin torches looking good. Have not lost any of the 3 frags. Still having issues with bjd. My grail lost 4 heads. I am cutting frags off of it and doing a neosporin dip on them. Will update later.
Wondering if I should dip the frags that are doing good again. Like an ongoing treatment, but only once more. Here is a picture of those frags.

Neosporin torches still doing great. 2nd batch i did different and they look really good.

I'm busy restocking the tank with fish.
Current list:
8 lyretail anthias
5 dispar anthias
4 springeri (but I suspect 3 are not the real deal based on coloring)
9 banggai cardinal
Yellow tang (not new)
Ornate leopard (not new)
Foxface (not new)
Moorish Idol (eating frozen but a little skinny)
2 clowns (not new)

Neither copperband made it despite them eating well

Hoping to work on the big tank a lot this weekend. have a project to get a canopy above it, and I want to do some scaping and a water change (removing some rock on the far right will create a detritus storm).

In other news, I was doing to much work at work, so in addition to my jungle, complete with a hydroponic tower for growing some salad greens, I put in an office tank. I also have Basil, Oregano, Cilantro, and Sage started in some of the pots. Functional garden for cooking is what I am going for.

Thanks to @rmorris_14 for letting me borrow your Evo. It looks wonderful, the clowns from the big tank sump are very much enjoying their new home. I am thinking of doing a natural looking tank with macros and gorgonians. What else should I put in there?

I really liked my Yasha/Randalli's combo.
 
Got about 10% of what I wanted done. Canopy is ready for a really good sanding and then prime and paint.
Removed some zoas from big tank. Cleaned up a little rock rubble. Still hoping to get skimmer cleaned and carbon / gfo swapped out.
 
Thanks to @Stang67 and @rmorris_14 for helping at the house today. We removed some rock did a large nasty water change, and hung a new canopy. Still need to do a few tweaks, one of the t5 banks didn't want to fire and I need to put face board on to close it off. Then time to work on scape again. Been removing zoas like a mad man, probably removed 1500 polyps easily in last 3 weeks. Been pulling nuisance coral, and fragging what I want to keep.
Out with the old...

New canopy completed. Scapes moved, still a little tweaking to be done. Need to find spots for all the coral on the sand now that I have more room. Been working hard on the tank last few weeks. Getting it back to the level I expect of myself. Cloudy water from all the activity today.
