Crapola Paul, now I'm going to have to go home and rearrange my rockwork again, lol. I love how you did your aquascaping there. And I love that you're experimenting using a powerhead as a frag disk, very nice touch. And naturally, love the PJ cardinal, I'm so wanting a breeding pair of them.

Tank looks very nice.

my guess is....

my guess is....

Christmas lights?

 

[captbunzo]

Thanks, all, I appreciate the complements! And yep, the lights are a Christmas tree in the background.... That was an accidental effect in the picture.

Yep, I am such a coral whore. I have a Euphylia paradivisia (frogspawn coral) on the SEIO m820 on the left and another Euphylia (branching hammer coral) on the SEIO m620 on the right.

Is that the brain you got from me Paul? It looks to be doing really well in your tank.

Yes, it is.... And it does seem to be happy..... I might have mentioned above, but it is my wife's favorite coral in our tank.

Ok, another quick update here..... And we seem to be having some trouble with some sort of tissue necrosis of our couple Montipora capriconis corals.

I should also note that when I changed out my Carbon & PhosBan over the Christmas break, I also tossed in a half dose bag of Chemi-Pure and a Polyfilter filter pad.

With the troubles I had a while back with my 47g tank in dallas, I think those two additional filter media (chemi-pure and polyfilter) did a good job removing some extra toxins, impurities, etc out of the water. So I thought it might be a good idea to let them do a little work on the water of my 55g home tank as well...

can you get a more recent pic of that galaxea? Mine had some deterioration as well. I think it may have been from another coral and too low of light. I've moved it by itself under t5s now though.

 

[captbunzo]

Actually, my galaxea pretty much is completely dead. There was a weekend a while back that the wife and kids came down to Dallas, instead of me up there, so I was gone 2 weeks in a row. When I finally got back home, it was pretty much a goner. That's disappointing, too, because it was looking great.

I think when the anemone started attacking my some of my montis, the water chemistry might have gotten a bit off for a while. I had lots of funny problems like that Galaxea dying. Fortunately, most everything else has survived.

I have the frag left in the tank, however, and have hope that it might yet pull through.

I think Paul Whitby's is doing really well - maybe we can get him to post a picture......

My galaxea had a fight with a pocillopora. It was pretty much a stalemate. They both lost a lot of tissue. I would say half of the galaxea tissue is gone. But it lost some tissue because it fell in a green slimer, and that came back. So I'm hopeful.
