Well you started page four off with some beauties Cheryl...congrats.

 

[Tahoe61]

I am using 2 part now. Kalk was problematic, pH swings too dramatic.
Viparspectra 165 watts 94% blue, 1%
13 hrs.
Got a beautiful blue stag from boom.
Got some Dragon's breath for the macro IM 14.

 

[Tahoe61]

Look, look.....looky!!;Woot

Finally a Palmers Blue Millopora. Waited a long time (years), finally, and it's beautiful.

Ok and my Psammocora.

The macro tank is doing well. I will try to get some images of the red algae.

Main display doing great.

Getting some Cherry Corals. Pink Diamonds, and Space Chaos. Really excited. During quarantine I have picked up some pieces I really wanted for awhile. I consider it an investment in my happiness. Yeah that sounds good.

 

[Tahoe61]

Pink Diamonds, very happy with this purchase. Space Chaos mehh, but I just got both frags yesterday.
Sps doing well, Duncan and Micromussa my only 2 LPS doing well.
Will be removing 2 Tunze power heads and adding a Current rEflux wave pump.



Thanks for checking it out.

 

[Tahoe61]

My two LPS. I definitely could use some more Micromussa and Goniopora.

No more Zoanthids or Palys though they are taking off. All sps doing really well.

Tank, corals and fish are beautiful!!! I’m setting up a new tank as well and going to “try” and grow a mangrove in the back of my AIO , lol it already had leaves when I got and had opened so fingers crossed that it will make it. Nice to see your thread

Thank you for stopping by.

What size is the AIO? What lighting is the mangrove under?

My mangrove is growing but man so painfully slow.

I got some Dragon's Breath, I will have to get an image.

The RR the Vinh acro is developing blue polyps Yay......

Love the colors on that micromussa! What's the name?

No idea lol. I just told the guy at the LFS give me a red Micromussa. The piece loves the lower light and flow.
If I could splurge on one coral it would be Micromussa. Unfortunately the really sweet pieces are pricy and another slow growing coral. Sigh some day.

Thank you for stopping by.

Haha! I know the feeling. Sooo many corals. Sooo little money. I would love to have a micromussa garden as well, especially some of the more colorful morphs, but like you said they're so pricey. I lucked out and got a sweet WWC Bullseye in a random frag pack from the most recent live sale. So far it's looking good, but it's only made me want more micros!

Cycling the IM 25 lagoon and I have the AI hydra 26 HD for lighting and actually it’s near a window so it’s getting natural sunlight quite a bit as I’m trying to hold off new tank algae as long as possible, lol yes I know being by a window will cause it but I can always close the blind

Those are great tanks. Love the lagoon style.
My mangrove tank gets a ton of light plus 5 hours of MH. Film algae is an issue so I just added more snails. It's a fine line between providing enough nutrients for mangroves and macro algae at the same time controlling other algaes growth.


Got this pump for the 40. Love it, perfect wave maker for a 40, very powerful, 1050 gph.

The blue stag I got from BoomCorals is starting to encrust and grow. Beautiful blue, bad image though.

 

[Tahoe61]

Insane Australian Micromussa from Cherry Corals is the bomb. Can not wait to see what it becomes once acclimated. Got a freebie too.

The Space Chaos needs more light, moved it up.

Over View.

The Duetto ATO did over top last night, luckly the reservoir was not too full. The sensor appears to have issues with lights out, no ambient light. Thinking of adding a night light.

 

[Tahoe61]

Micromussa garden taking shape. New piece from Cherry Corals, they added a freebie. ;Happy

[Tahoe61]

Growth 3/4/20-6/22/20 for Vivids Rainbow, Rasta, Utter Chaos, and purple bonsai. All sps really encrusting. I have always wanted a bonsai, the neon green polyps are amazing. Zoanthids and Palys growth making me rethink placement. The Bam Bans and the Utter Chaos have me very concerned.
Palmers Blue Milli is doing well. Adore my newer Micromussa and Pink Diamonds.
Started low dose Acropower and Roids. I am going to lower the light 1/4 inch.

Awesome pics!

 

[muzikalmatt]

Those rastas are beautiful! I've been trying to get some from my LFS but everytime I go they're out. I'd definitely watch out for the utter chaos. They're great looking but grow like a weed so they'll take up real estate in a hurry.
