Hey Guys,

The past 5 months my tank has been assaulted by instability from so many different issues, and then when we had the big rains last month a 14 hour power outage while I was up in San Francisco.

But things are starting to stabilize. I got motivated to take some photos of the happy corals.

Shooting with a Canon D70, 105mm Macro and no tripod.

Lighting is Radion G3 Pro running 20k color profile at 70%

This is the tip of my AEFW Proof Purple Tip, Turquoise Stag. This is huge and right next to my Red Planet that has been filled with AEFW for over 2 years. And not once has there been one on this colony. Colony is huge and I have tons of frags available (free to locals)

My Grafted Monti Colony is amazing and huge. It keeps getting 'Fragged' by the glass magnet cleaner. This little plate was under a bigger plate I broke off a few weeks ago - entirely in the dark. Now look 3 weeks later... Amazing Coral.

My Millies are amazing. They don't catch my eye, they always have AEFW, and then I get up above them over the tank, and I am just stunned by what they are hiding.

I have a Miyagi Tort that just keeps growing and growing. The first photo is from a piece I mounted Horizontal and it keeps growing just horizontal. First photo is the tips and you can just see the green starting to appear at the top

Looking good Dave! I was wondering if all the rain would have any adverse effect on your outdoor tank, did you lose any colorals with the power outtage? and I must have a frag of that 'purple' with green polyp milli :-)
