Very nice! The things taking off. Quality photos too!

If i may ask what are those reddish looking flatworms on the plug? Some sory of planaria? I have seen the same thing in my buddies tank and they dont look harmful just curious as to what they are.

The Red stuff is Red Planeria Flatworms.

They do not harm corals, but will if there's a huge population covering the light from corals, starving them. Versus Acro Eating Flatworms they're harmless.

Great growth pictures as well, but I could'nt help but notice the growth of the planeria flatworms too haha

looks like i may have to break out the flatworm exit, seems to be a bigger problem than i thought...

The flat worms are terrible. Try to siphon out as many as you can befoe the exit. When yhey die they melt and release toxins into your tank. Have water ready to siphon out their stringy leftovers when using also.

Been pretty lazy with the camera, and the FW exit for that matter

anyways,

and here is a close up that i like the way it turned out.

This atl christmas mirabilis is finally starting to show some green!
I have been slowly lowering my alkalinity level from 10 to 8 over the last few months, and the color is really starting to improve.

grow has been rather slow...
