Amazing tank. I'm trying your schedule now (added UV to it from 10%-90% through the day), it definitely looks better from that quick run instead of my old schedule of having my blues and UV maxed all the time!

If anyone is interested, I have Jourdy's original schedule, plus one I modified, that takes out some of the strange spikes in his schedule. It follows his basic color profile and I have gotten great results with it.

Here's this month's update (October 1)!

I have been experimenting lately on altering the colors of SPS. I tried setting the Radions at a lower output for a few weeks and upped my phosphates a bit. Some colors have darkened, especially noticeable in the Tricolor Valida.

Some of my SPS are about 1mm away from each other.. I think it's time to cut again.


Anyway, some photos:

These digitatas grow so fast. They always get fragged by my urchins. I think this piece alone has been accidentally broken 4x in 2 months, thus the weird growth pattern.

I like this one more now than when I got it. The polyps are apparently blue, which I have noticed just now!

Lower light and higher phosphates made these darker

As you can see, the SPS are almost touching each other! I need to move them but I want to keep them there LOL.

This small frag of tricolor valida has grown nicely since last month

This one grows really slow compared to the others, but the difference when I first got it has been amazing to me. I didn't know the colors would retain that well, considering his spot is a bit shaded (thus the blurry photo - had to angle a bit).

Aussie Spatulatha - this one became dull colored in my tank. It used to have pale yellow highlights. Not sure if I can keep this colorful because apparently they need colder temps? My tank is at around 27.5C-29C only. Oh well, at least it's still alive!

This small frag of Blue Iris has grown a lot as well. Double in 2 months. The mother colony (not pictured) is about 1 foot tall now

This has shown growth too, but I don't know why the growth is curving back to the stem. Any ideas?

Hey guys,

I'll post updates soon. Didn't realize it has been so long without an update. I even skipped the photo contests! Noo.
I don't even remember which pictures I have and have not uploaded.

@revhtree Not sure if that was me, but I don't recall visiting the site in quite some time due to being very busy. Or maybe it opened unintentionally on the phone.
