Well the 180 has been fighting back for a couple of months with massive cyano. I’ve been siphoning it out weekly and it’s only slowing down a little. I’ve come to the conclusion I just need to move more coral in there from the frag tank to compete for the nutrients (nitrate o.2 and phosphate .06 go figure). I’ve moved about 25 varieties from the frag tank over to the display and just keep fighting the cyano. All the coral in there is doing fine but the tank looks like hell by the end of every week.

Still fighting cyano in the display tank. It feels like it will never end but I am resisting using anything other than KZ CyanoClean (bacterial product) and trying to establish nutrient balance and manual removal/water changes. So here's a smokescreen to distract ya'll ....

And @josh4107 asked for a Bellina update. This is the one in my frag tank. It's been fragged several times in the last 6-8 weeks but hanging in there nicely :)

Hey Jolt! Good to see you at the frag swap and grab a couple pieces. Seeing your colony of the Poison Ivy has me excited about that one for sure.
Any pics of the Wolverine colony?
Went back through your thread to make a list of frags I want, so I'm going to have to see what you have available soon ;)

Well I do, but it's from a year ago and I have fragged it so many times! It's actually only about four times this size now. It's a great grower for me, very robust:

Wow - long time since an update, life has been a whirlwind!
Here's an update on the TGC Northern Crush
And I've got a couple of CSB anemones cloned from the huge one in my dt. These guys have healed nicely now ...

Decided to try some top down pix of the display today. Believe it or not, this is the first time to try it on that tank. It's a lot deeper than my frag tank, so I am still learning how to set up for it ... Please excuse the sand, I had been cleaning the tank too and I guess I did not blow off all the corals - oops!
Vivid Rainbow Delight - I think it wants to finally start coloring up!
Battlestag - broke the tip off one of the branches last week :(

Finally took an updated FTS. The battle with dinos is going so much better after installing a UV, I am hoping to have turned the corner. I am noticing more polyp extension on the corals, improved color, and encrustation seems to be accelerating.
