Timmy thinks anything I put in the tank is food. He ate all my GSP I glued on the overflows... I need to distract him like a dog if I want to place anything.

My SPS that is doing well and growing (slowly) are my weird pavonas. So maybe I just need to stick with the weird. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

So to take this photo I had to blast some cyano and had the thought that I probably need to increase flow. Then I suddenly realized that I had turned down my flow as low as possible for my new RFA's and had forgotten to turn it back up.

0.22 and 0-5 last I tested. Sounds high but 6 months ago by phosphates we’re stuck at 0.7
Nitrate are low, phosphates are just a little higher than where I try keeping mine. Without those if your alk is high SPS can RTN. I've had this happen because my PO4 was bottomed out. Nitrates are at 50ish, phosphates are 0.1 and alk is 8.3. When I was losing Acros I was at 10 alk, 0 PO4, and 40+ NO3.

Nice!
Looks very similar. I think its my favorite SPS but I would say that about the only one that grows well for me!
I got some montis from @chipmunkofdoom2 that are doing well. If they donwell enough I can share. To quote him, if they die, I have more.
