It might be time for a new conductivity probe? It’s been slowly going down over the course of a week. I’ll try to clean it first, but I’m not holding my breath.

That box worked out great!
And we’re off! Besides a little cyano, which is slowly shrinking, just a couple bad things going on at the moment.
Two colonies have active TN, my pink table (right through the middle of the colony) and my main colony of Valkyrie’s moon. It’s kinda like white band disease if I had to describe it. I think it’s a combination of weakened immune system from the rusted magnet and rapid change of nutrients, but it’s pure speculation on my part. I wasn’t going to treat, but decided to dose witch hazel, so I’ll try my usual slightly elevated dose for a week or more? No pic of the table, but here’s the VM. :mad:
Thanks! I have dipped fresh cuts of problem pieces, which seemed to help. I need to “open” the tank up a little, so when I do the slight reset with halides, I’ll clear up the tank. I like the idea of having just a couple corals/colonies on each bommie/rock. That was my original goal, but got sidetracked when I added all of the rescue pieces. I’m hoping the local market needs some cool jawbreakers? I have a few with pink spots like the mother.That box worked out great!
Gotta hate those random TN issues. Hopefully the witch hazel does the trick. I'll follow along since I've been tempted to try it myself. Every do just a dip with success?
Oh I'm sure they'll go quick! It's tough to thin the herd but it'll pay off and probably end up being easier to maintain without worrying about things touching, ect.Thanks!

Yeah, as much as I like to see big colonies, I only have a couple that I want to keep. I may move some over to the 25g if I get that set up soon enough? Besides the montipora, I'll get rid of the huge frogskin, miyagi tort and probably my silly string acro (which is like a duller confetti). I'm keeping the A. florida, because it's such a great old school piece and it really stands out against the very best green slimers. I have some hydroids that I need to get under control, so I'm going to have to pull those bommies out and carefully remove some rock to get rid of them. Hopefully I don't break off the good stuff? I want a nice humilis, gemmifera and I'll pick up some nice Solomon island millie's from Unique and hopefully have enough room for a couple nice smoothies? Of course, this will all change as soon as I put the halides over the tank and see the magic.Oh I'm sure they'll go quick!

You've ran halides enough to know which pieces you'll really enjoy going forward. I know I've got some new favorites since the switch! That plus shinning you'll need to plan for some major growth!
I like having the fuge first, gives the pods first dibs on leftover food. Plus, it’s easier dealing with the skimmer in the middle chamber. It’s funny, but the M1 looks small in there. No one wants it, so I’ll probably keep it and use it on the 25g.Looks great I like that/baffle tray section!
That’s crazy it’s a great pump. If you decide to run a manifold you’ll have plenty of powerI like having the fuge first, gives the pods first dibs on leftover food.

Wow, some serious reasons for me to keep my focus on the sea.Well, my maxima is pretty much gone. I’ll most likely pull it at the end of the day? It’s hard watching it go, especially after seeing it grow for several years.
Onto unrelated reef news. My son’s birthday was yesterday and he’s into ants and tarantulas. So, for his birthday he wanted to go to the desert in search for the elusive desert leaf cutter ant. After traveling for nearly 3hrs, we made it right at dusk, which is the time to start looking for emerging colonies. We spotted some cool beetles, tarantulas and eventually some very big colonies of leaf cutters. But, during the search, we came across one of my favorite reptiles, the California kingsnake (desert phase). It was absolutely flawless and a perfect example of a Cal king.
