Just a quick picture dump from this evening. Having some good growth on some @SBB Corals SPS. The red dragon from a couple months ago is encrusting over the glue on to the rock where we put it. The orange blast has encrusted over the plug and heading towards the rock. The Sailor moon has encrusted over the glue and popped a couple of new tips!

Everything seems to be coloring up pretty nicely as well. Sad that we did lose our Ultra nicks torch we named Medusa. Was our first torch, and hit had lasted forever and through all the issues where everything else died. Also lost one big bird hammer. Just some weird thing, or they just decided they were done not sure.

The Bryopsis is all gone, and just a couple small GHA patches I need to remove. I'll do that Tuesday on WC day this week. Also picked up a lawnmower blenny, always thought they looked neat. He is very active all over the tank.

The video I have uploading really shows off a lot better coloring as well, so I'll post it soon :)

Really liking the coloring up of all these awesome SPS corals from SBB! I'm not even sure if our Red Dragon can be called a red dragon anymore it's coloring up well! The orange blast is ORANGE and encrusting very well. The Sailor Moon has new tip growth and is encrusting as well, almost to the rocks. Same with red dragon, pretty much has encrusted over the glue and on to the rockwork, or almost.

The Fish frenzy is getting some nice red in the polyps and looking great still, such a huge colony! The Green bean colony is definitely nice and coloring up well. The no name colony is the same, very interested in seeing how it's polyps finish coloring up. Same with the carnage, it has some nice yellow/orangish polyp bases, and the polyps seem to be getting some red also!

New video tonight. Did a small 5g WC and check parameters. PO4 had started to get elevated a little, but better now after WC.
Dates are on the parameters since that I've checked since the 28th. Just for a stability check.

Water parameters from yesterday, everything is looking good. Calcium is high, so dropped it a little on the doser. Same with alk, dropped it 5ml a day. Would like it staying around 8dkh instead of 8.6 but still fine.

The SBB carnage is starting to encrust onto the rock now. Can't wait to see it take off. Did a 5g WC again this week. Just been doing 5g weekly the last couple of weeks.

The no name colony hasn't RTN'd any more since that one branch. Still weird. I'll get more pictures and a video of the tank tomorrow. Didn't have a chance before coming into work this evening.

Got in and moved a a few mushrooms around. One highlighter yuma, a volcanic ash (no name but looks like it) and another no name. The no name colony held on for a while, but didn't make it.



Hit the green bean while cleaning, so hopefully did mess with it to much. Definitely rubbed my arm up against it trying to get to the bottom. No pictures today, didn't get any before work. Will grab some tomorrow morning before I leave for work.



Everything else is still looking great though!

Some quick pictures of some. Lps and mushrooms. The little highlighter yuma hanld gotten knocked off and I thought it was lost to the abyss for sure. But found it still hanging on!

Really like how the Florida ricordea is starting to grow and get some more character also.

Just a quick Friday stroll through the reef. Sending off ICP tomorrow, did a 15g WC yesterday. Everything is looking good. Just started another reef fluxrx treatment. Will do chemiclean in a few days also.

Just a quick picture drop. Water parameters are still pretty stable. No3 dropped for some reason, so I'll add some neonitro tonight. Got the ICP test sent off this afternoon, so we'll see how that looks also.

Your lighting makes the orange hammer looks really orange, looks great. Under my lights it looks more peach colored.

It's actually pretty pink/peachy in ours too. But the camera lens really brings out the orange color. May just snap a picture with no filter under blues to show the pinkish/peachy color lol
