holy crap... that sucks....

A bit of a roller coaster ride for you. Eventually you will have it all figured out. And everything will come a stable condition. BUt it won't happen while you are adding things. ONly after you stop adding things and let everything just be. But it looks nice, hope the RTN stops.

wow, thank u guys

i checked all the water parameters that seem fine

then a second thought probably addin 2 powerheads brought rtn. sometimes stronger waves with droppin nutrients cause problem too

got 2 nice colonies and figured one brown colony of nana startin to color up

the nana died at the very beginnin then i threw it to a corner then it colored up

trio of a yellow bush and purple table and sunburst anthias

i lost the small colony of the table and now get a much bigger one

the cyano on side glass is fading but on back----err

and color changes to green and purple---looks kinda awful

 

[M Woodhill]

after lots of mess--beer dosin, rtn and ritteri suicide

the tank seems to be back on track

the nana was brown for a while and decides to color up recently

checkin those greenin up coraline, i guess this acro is potential to develop as a strawberry shortcake, greenish coraline, purple tip and pink polyp

the purple rim monti

the green humilis

bein frequently moved *** around, the penope or p-what birdnest has yet to show its full beauty

the dinosaur's egg monti

the watermelon monti

a gorgeous malu and a divorced clown

i just have 2 questions:

1. i keep nitrate 0--halifert and tropic marin

phos 0--hanna

then how come theres still cyano?? how to get rid of algae, seein lots of tank without anythin on glass--super clean

2. my monti always grows much slower than acro. isnt it supposed to outgrow acro?

 

[M Woodhill]

there is the tank after mess:

theres still plenty of cyano on the back but on sides the situations improvin

the table coral hostin a crab and two shrimps

the rainbow stylo needs colorin up

this purple acro is very potential

thank y'all for compliments

well, 3 pitchers of beer did suck. I officially hate girls now

occ's r still finicky to choose a host. they've given up the rbta and the malu that has moved to the back of rockwork

i'm waitin for a gorgeous ritteri still
