That Random Nano!

That's the thing about reefing, not everyone can confess they had issues.
They happen to many of us.

Glad to see you didn't give up @i cant think

It sure is difficult keeping track. Im working on it!

I find that reefers don’t always mention the struggles they go through to get to where they are - I mean we have the “Ugly” Phase of a reef but honestly sometimes that’s the nicest time a reef has!
In my threads I often try to keep things as they are, real and issues that occur are rarely not documented.

There's a lot of times i should have documented something. I never realized that information might have helped another. Being able to show things happen, and its worth fighting back. There's a lot to enjoy.

I honestly feel that admitting that we’ve had setbacks and how we deal with them helps everyone including ourselves, as I find talking about it cathartic and a way to process. Ironically the impetus to set the 90 as a reef came from tragedy, when I lost 3 discus, 2 gold Nugget Plecos and a handful of other fish when I had a pump failure that caused the water to go anoxic. I was heartbroken but the reef has risen from the ashes like Phoenix to what it is today.

Well this is annoying, I’m hoping I’ve gotten it in time but my orange hammer colony had BJD. I removed a dead head and a dying head in hopes to stop it. None of the other corals seem to have it so tomorrow I’ll do a good water change, cleaning the skimmer out and the pumps - I’m hoping to at some point do a citric acid bath on the pump in the display for better flow. Fingers are crossed for the recovery of that coral.

And on better news, look! @Miami Reef the blue tips are back. After months of pure green, finally some purple/blue has occurred.

Well, I currently have the wave maker in citric acid in hopes of cleaning it fully. This may result in a sand storm but it’ll be worth it.

It’s done and here’s a before FTS and an after.

I absolutely recommend citric acid if you have a dirty power head. It does the best job.

Yesterday I thought this tank looked good enough to photograph so… Here’s some photos of the coral (and clam) and an FTS.
Blue Maxima Clam - Tridacna maxima

Red Goni - Goniopora sp.

Blue Tip Stag - Acropora sp.

Blueberry Shortcake - Acropora microclados

Glitterbomb Goni - Goniopora sp.

Plasma Torch - Euphyllia glabrescens

And, the FTS.
