I figured it was time to post some update pics since it's been a few months.
Things have been VERY hectic around here, between work getting busy, trying to get my thesis proposal together, my wife being out of work, and coping with the side effects associated with the disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug treatment I started a couple months ago to help try and get my psoriatic arthritis under control.
Here's the FTS:
At the moment I seem to be getting the usual startup algae, although it's not growing as fast as it was in the start. So that's good. I admit I'm NOT good at keeping up with the 2-part dosing, so the corals have not really taken off like I would like.
However, the cerith snails I have in there have spawned and there are plenty of little baby cerith snails roaming around in the tank. So that's a nice thing.
This guy has showed a bit of encrusting on the epoxy mount:
The tricolor is slowly growing and keeping some nice color:
This one is still kinda doing nothing:
My purple digi is doing well enough; it's finally starting to grow now that it's kinda wedged in well enough that the hermit doesn't continually chuck it into the sand:
The green rics are doing nicely:
My biggest frag is growing up WAY too fast.
Later,
Tyler
