I have been thinking about what to try next of the coral essentials products, I have done a lot of reading.
I decided to try the Trace B.
Part 2 of my standard additives is Reeflowers All Elements, it covers most of the basics.
(It does not tell me which ones of "trace", I will ask!
The dose for my water volume is 9 drops a day, I just did my first dose, ... 3 drops!
I'd rather it built up slowly this time due to not knowing the Elements' contents!

Lol, I wondered who would pick up on that!
I don't do waterchanges except in emergencies, my metals will be low or zero, macro algae uses Iron and maybe some others, I guess we wait and see!

 

[najer]

Can't wait to see it properly settled tomorrow, my little treat!

Great coral, Najer.
Love it

Just put 2 emeralds in myself. Taking a chance last emerald I had I caught giving my Duncan a hair cut and munching on split ends. Havent had one since.

Nice new addition. Come take pics of my tank for me plz. Hehe

Great coral, Najer.
Love it

Thanks, it is one of my better attempts!
I actually just looked at it again and it perfectly sums up what my tank is currently like, my corals, all corals, just look healthier.
I'm still annoyed about the temperature spike at the start of the summer, I will have a heater / chiller by next spring.
New guy on morning 1, I'm quietly excited about it!

Thanks, I love emerald / mithrax, this is the first one since I lost the puffer, I will get a few more as long as this one settles well.

I agree. Everything you have been showing us looks extremely healthy! Thanks for the eye candy, and I'm glad you're happy with your new frag. Looks pretty sweet.

Thanks.

An apology to @Katrina71 who asked about the black sponge a while back, once things go in the cube end I tend to forget about them!
I saw it yesterday so I just moved it into the display and put it next to the blue one.
(I passed it through the swim through hole, it didn't see air.)
It has already grown over the elastic band and is well grabbed hold!
Now to see how it deals with flow!

I love sponges. All colors and textures.

 

[NY_Caveman]

That is beautiful. Great shot. I love sponges too. And tunicates. Do you have any of those? You definitely need a nice one (not that I am buying).

 

[pshootr]

Indeed that sponge is a beautiful Beast.

 

[fabutahoun]

Beautiful sponge , my Angels love them !

Thanks, yes I do have tunicates mostly in the cube end, part of the big blue one just taken.

Very nice! I got a few sponges with my live rock, but have not seen any tunicates so far. Still hoping they pop up. Best thing about live rock, new stuff just pops out of nowhere six months later.

I was originally going to start with dry Rock. Because I was so afraid of pests, and wanted a sterile start for that reason. But live rock has such benefits, I believe I have changed my mind. In the beginning I will check the tank out at night with a flashlight to look for pests. And probably set a trap to see what may go inside of it.
