Holding out on my May pic till I get out of my hair algae situation. Had a small magnet bust open. I am not sure when it happened. I am not sure if that is my problem or something else. I removed the magnet 5 days ago. I added 6 Turbos and 6 astrea snails this weekend and a sea hare last weekend. Still the hair algae seems to be spreading.
PO4 = .03 on Hanna Low range
ALK = 8.5
Cal = 350
Mag = 1350

I spent all of yesterday cleaning up the tank. The hair algae had a party while I was gone last week. The sea hare died while I was gone. It must have been Saturday or Sunday because it had not been picked at by anything.

Here is a question I always like to look at this thread but some of the corals are encrusting more then others and I'm not sure what mr. D smack's is doing. But how do you determine a winner if one is all vertical and one encrusts then shoots up sever branches?

Anything in my tank that survives 2 months should triple in value just because of durability :beer:

Don't let that hold you back. I found mine in the sand a couple of days ago. That set me 2 months back and without any growth the 1st month I'm 3 months behind like you

Mine has been growing like crazy. Nicely encrusted around the base and at least an extra inch of growth so far.

One more shot for comparison.
