Merry Christmas everyone! My wife surprised me with some canvasses for my fish room. She went on my computer and picked out a couple of my pictures. She is awesome! I think they turned out great.
Very cool!

Merry Xmas! Looks like you got a keeperMerry Christmas everyone! My wife surprised me with some canvasses for my fish room. She went on my computer and picked out a couple of my pictures. She is awesome! I think they turned out great.
With time and keeping everything balanced, it will recover. I dosed Reef Flux a couple months ago and while everything looked fine during the treatment, my JF Fox Flame got annoyed near the end (I only ran it for 14 days). It's now completely uglified and browned out! The good news is all my other acros look great and never skipped a beat. Everything recovers, it just takes time.
Merry Christmas Josh!

Thanks Mike you too!
Yeah my Fox Flame is disgusting. Same as yours. Browned out and lost all of the yellow tips. If it doesn't turn around in a month or so then I am going to replace it.

Even though the tank has its problems right now there are a couple pieces with some killer polyp extension. I am a sucker for PE. Love some shaggy Acro's. Took a quick video of the shaggiest pieces in my tank.
Disregard the bubble algae and dying Acro's.

Been a little while since I updated the thread. For the last 2 months, I have been dealing with issues that have caused a crash resulting in losing half of my pieces.
Full tank shot before removal of pieces
After removing dead pieces
The damage
I think what happened is I nuked the bacteria and biological system in place and bottomed out nutrients.
The good news is that the other pieces are looking ok. I am getting good growth and color daily. A system back on track coupled with some very generous and AWESOME fellow hobbyists has given me an opportunity to replenish the tank with new corals and get back to the swing very quickly.

Thank you! Yes it does! Lesson learned though. I am staying away from Vibrant and other chemicals and just sticking to all naturals methods of export and manual removal. Also going to make it a routine to send out an ICP at least every quarter.

BC Shades of Fall - Not the best looking piece. You can see the tips where they started to peel and the piece did lose all its color. I thought I was going to lose this one. However, you can see the tips are healing, its color is coming back, and now it is showing signs of growth where its encrusting. Have had this piece for a over a year and finally it is showing signs of growth. It must love the new lights!

BC Firecracker Table - You can see where the base receded. It stopped receding and is starting to recover. Reds are getting deeper and starting to get the blue tips. Looking forward to this one.

Garf Bonsai - There is no Vibrance or Saturation added to this photo. It is really this blue with vivid neon tips in person.
