Thanks Matt! Yeah I'm so glad that the frags finally started to grow and that the problems I had with some of the Acroporas suddenly went away. Only a couple of victims and one of those the Red Dragon :headwallblue:
Thanks Ed! I'm looking forward to see the Bali Shortcake colour up.

Here's an update of the frags. I tested the nutrition levels and they were actually pretty high. 0,2 po4 and 4 no3. I've been away this weekend and haven't added -np pro so that may be why, but I have good growth and ok colours with these levels.

Thanks Matt! I've missed the Pearl berry so I was very happy to stumble over it.
No picture update this time, but I have decided to change the flow in the tank. I've been using a Maxspect Gyre XF150 and two small stream pumps for a couple of years now. I have been happy with the Gyre, but the problem I've had with this setup is that it is impossible to have sand in the tank.
I ordered some new pumps from an Italian company called Rossmont. I'm looking forward to try these out. These are AC pumps which is possible to control with a Waver box. These looks very promising.
Here's what I've ordered:
2 x Rossmont Mover M5800
2 x Rossmont Mover MX13400
1 Rossmont Waver Master WR-2CH to control the MX13400's
Here's a review of the Waver: http://www.danireef.com/2017/04/21/rossmont-waver-the-aio-controller/ and a review of the largest MX pump: http://www.danireef.com/2015/07/30/rossmont-mover-mx-15200-depth-review/

Yesterday I got a couple of new frags. They were not established so I hope they make it!
This morning I got the new pumps I ordered. Looking forward to try them out tonight! I was pretty surprised by the size of the pumps. I thought the MX pumps would be much larger. But they are pretty small and look pretty good :rollface:
And here's a picture of the Pearl Berry with the phone (sorry for the quality).

No I don't think Rossmont has anything to do with Sicce. All they say on their website is that the pumps are designed in Italy though. Yeah I love that one too :lol2:
I have had these for a week now and I am a little dissapointed about the noise. They make a lot more noise than I thought they would do. I will try to move the magnets a bit, but I don't think that will solve much. I think the vibrations would have been solved with silicon mounts like the Tunze pumps.
But I do like the Waver. That thing is pretty nice. When I have the sump and equipment in another room it's so nice to turn on/off or gain through the phone :strooper:
A while since I've taken pictures. I took some yesterday, but I uploaded the wrong file to the ATI lamp, so the led has too much red and blue, so the colours were a nightmare to work with.
Here's some new frags!
Don't know what this is yet.
Aussie Echinata.
Not sure of the species. This one will get yellow tips.
I was pretty happy when I got hold of this Simplex frag. Too bad it has started to lose tissue. It would have been all purple if it was in good shape.
New Aussie Acans!

Here's an update on the frags as well.
ASD Rainbow Milli
Pearl Berry. I love this piece.
Vivid's Tierra Del Fuego
Acropora Latistella "Bali Shortcake". The growth on this one suddenly stopped and it started to brown out again and has been kind of bleached. Not sure why though.
Acropora Caroliniana. This is one of the frags which is not growing very vell. Been bleach for a while now.
The Hawkins Echinata is also having some difficulties with bleached tips.
Red Robin
Acropora Microclados "Limeade"
Acropora Hyacinthus. This is a fast grower!
