Just outstanding. How long have you had that clam? It's a beaut.
Thanks Darryl, I picked up two little Maxima's on Boxing Day.
Thanks Mark, things are coming along but plenty of room for improvement with lots of pieces.
Thanks Matt. Yeah that granulosa is really starting to come into it's own. I am not sure what species that other piece is but I really like the contrasting colors with the yellow base and purplish tips & pinky polyps. It came in as a very expensive "brown-apora" and has really changed over the past 1.5 years since I've had it.

Thanks Conor, ironically the branch I was able to save was from the bottom of the colony so it was a funny shape & color but over the past several months has changed from homely to kind of nice.
It sucks when things don't work properly

I had a few pieces that started getting some serious STN so during my investigation I discovered my doser had malfunctioned & emptied my entire 10 gallon calcium reservoir into the display tank which threw the parameters way off. When I tested the Alk measured at 3.5 dkh and the calcium was off the chart somewhere around 1000. Surprisingly most of the corals are not showing ill affects (last batch of pix was taken after I discovered the issue) but a few corals are really hurting and I lost my Hoeksemai colony and my large Lovelli colony is albout half gone. I have a few montis that look to have given up the ghost as well. :sad2:
I really need to find time to do a few extra water changes but the rule is that things like this only happen when you are totally swamped with other stuff. :facepalm:

Last sentence....so true!!!
Really hope everything will be ok greg or at least with the minimal losses buddy.
You can never predict/guess when a piece of equipment will fail you
It can be light,pumps,whatever...
Even with regular testing,you still can't ensure nothing bad happens.
Amazing pics btw:beer:
