When your out for 3 yrs and come back, yahoo!! I am like a kid in a candy store. New equipment, new coral types offered. Now we want a specific range on phosphates, who knew. Lighting options, I am losing my mind, Radion and AI aren't the only game in town, in LED. Too bad about T5 and MH though.

Got turf algae up my ears in main DT, aiptasia infestation in frag tank, little bit of Cyano in anemone tank, little bit of dinos in 115 gal system… but … just beat a massive bubble algae infestation in the 24 AIO, main DT has restabilized after a die off, corals are growing like wild fire despite the pests and the work I have to put it and I like to think I’m a “tank half full kind of gal” so let’s goooooo ‘25! Pretty stoked about reefing and life in general.

Hey even squishing some green bubble algae can get you excited once you see it’s not coming back! Keep fighting!

I’m so excited to be “finished” with additions to my DT, for the next year, just regular maintenance and feeding.



Now you’re just showing off!!! More please! :)

I'm really stoked at how my DT is looking now, can't wait to see it all grow now over the next 12 months!

Next project will be a frag tank.

On a scale of “algae to excessive coral growth,” how excited are you about your tank right now?

I’m pretty excited about starting the new R2R HQ Reef! So it’s up there around “new acro growth white tips” for me!
Besides the white tips, I'll bet those tips are flat or squared off? That's when I know things are really cooking.
