That frag rack is nuts! Great job

Thanks! I was going to cut some more tonight but didn't have time. Guess it'll be tomorrow. The frag rack is actually in a 4'x2' frag tank that I am filling. Plus I just picked up a JF Razzmatazz, RR The Vihn ,a few Frag House Corals and a few more. I have noticed mine are much thicker. Must be more flow.

Nice work! Its really impressive the growth you have gotten in such a short time. Lets see pics of the new frags :)

@BobbyOtto I was lazy. But I snapped a few. I want some marco shots. Plus i am waiting for the frags to color back up. They are still fresh.

Added a melanurus wrasse and lawnmower blenny to the frag tank. Named the wrasse diggy cuz I dig em. I will try for pics some time soon.... Hopefully.

So my alk consumption is increasing. Not a bad thing. The ratios of alk to ca always seemed too close anyway. Uglies are still hanging around in the frag tank. Also checked my po4 and no3. No3 is undetectable. I am cranking up my dosing pump for no3 again. I had it off after the move and then bumped it to 5 ml a day. Now back up to 20. I also stopped with the reefroids daily and the po4 is now at .009ppm so I am going feed more. Everything seems pretty happy some sps are puffier than normal but I suspect that will all level out.

Algae blenny number 1 or the one that was in the 40g was looking awfully thin. Still moving but thin. I moved it to the settling area in the sump hoping some of the filamentous algae in there would help.

My salinity got a little high too. Finally getting used to the new setup. So I am slowly walking it back down. It hit 1.028. I need to calibrate my refractometer a bit more frequently. I am dosing the no3 and 5ml more than I used to. I am hoping my high ph issues are almost over too. I am not particularly fond of dosing distilled vinegar. The tank also went from 24ml of alk solution to 36ml after adding the frag tank. Though I am curious if the vinegar may play a part in that.

All other params are in range.

So I was a little carried away on the Aqua SD live sale. But I picked up a Walt Disney and a JF Beach Bum. I think I have about 15 new pieces coming. Mainly sps. I will need to do a stock list and photos of what is in the system this Friday when they come in!
