Dang man tank is looking great again. Love other reefers looking out for one another. That torch is definitely wicked.

Thanks Matt!!!
I decided to put my HME Block 2 led back in play with Kessil A360WE, I am peaking at 75% with both lamps. The coverage is much better

For those interested, the mangroves installed to move away from use of probiotics, more towards natural filtration. The 2 shoots bought with 2 rows of leaves, it took some time, but are now keeping both n&p low, to the point where the skimmer only pulls after feeding. I will likely begin feeding heavier, with frozen mysis and LRS. The mangroves are rooted in 1 liter of AF Life Bio Fil, in left side reurn. The mangroves are misted with RODI each morning prior to lights on

I used to grow mangroves , right now where my tank is located not able have mangroves, but I just add 47 Pacific oysters I've used them in the past and they were great, I use them like a pre filter, to consume the extra food, they're in a semi refugium like tank

So many ways at achieving success Those filter feeders should pull nutrients down for sure Cheers!

So here is why I was forced to rescape, that recent torch acquisition is extending further each day, the tissue is nearly connected all the way down to base. So happy to have scored this one back, no fragging on this one, way too pretty!

Man looks awesome. But don’t say your never fragging it. I’m going to need a piece eventually. Lol

Of course we will figure something out I would need new growth, as i would have to cut it through way too much tissue, but as soon as another head sprouts, we should be in business

No chalices in my tank right now, still have work to do on acan garden, as well as my z&p garden. Still have some nice shrooms too Top of reef mostly completed, with torches and hammers. I will continue to add corals, but have to choose wisely as space running low Hoping to sit back, relax, and enjoy the tank to maturity. If you are ever close by, let me know!

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

Yea I need to start placing everything on the rocks and getting rid of the racks I’ve got in the tank. Still need to get an acan garden started. Lol

Good morning, not much change on the reef, the added led panel has allowed crazy spread, and with the lights combined, blend nice too. I did lower the peak on the block2, maxing 60% on all blues and UV, green and red at max 20%. No whites on block2. Kessil a360we, peaks 80% blue, 15% white. Keeping whites down, as the mangrove lighting spills a bit, nothing major, but compensated with mainly blue. Here is a morning pic

Water change day, quick top down on the torch, looking pretty colorful, despite being a bit closed down.

FTS from today Moved some corals around, the Duncan was tucked away, now its able to stretch out a bit on it's new perch. The toadstool has been active in dropping babies, now have mama plus 3 frags. Also noticed my blue bounce split too, pretty good week
