Lost that one, you guys have no idea what I went through with dinos. I messed up big time with not taking photos/videos of actually how bad it was. Both my tanks would almost flood daily just from the blackness built up on my overflow.

I defeated a horrible case of dinos in 5 days. Shut off all daylight bulbs, and just ran 2 blue+ along with reebrites for 3 days. Felt socks changed daily, and wet skim straight to the drain.

Fast forward about 3 weeks, I lost

Now I never really loose anything, if somethings unhealthy, it doesn't grow. But at that time I made a million changes. Calcium reactor, interceptor, more cured rock, second UV. Do I think it was the dinos, not certain. But clogging mesh socks and overflow teeth every single day couldn't have been a good thing. My tank smelt like someone died until I started wet skimming.
I'm right in that spot right now. I'm running radions makes me wonder if I should try all blues for a bit.

This was an indo mariculture I cherry picked for my home tank. This was literally just blue two weeks ago. Pretty fascinating

I dont take many different angle photos of my tank. I have a hard time with the t5s reflecting off the surface, anyone know any hacks to get better shots of stuff?

I have to start getting colony photos of all my stuff. There's so much I never updated, lost a few, some are monster colony's. I got tons of new pieces in the last year. If you guys can tell the only time I really have to get on is late night. Anyways, I'm home for weeks. Were all home together and well make the best of it. Stay healthy my friends!

Cut half the blue off my mighty max favia to reset. Glued some red into the blue so well see if I can get it to swirl.
