Thanks, those acans seem to hold their color even in higher light unlike my others.
Thanks the colors are really coming in now I've been trying for years to get them. I use the cannon powershot d10 and slightly adjust the settings to get accurate pics. A lot easier than a real dslr camera but more limited.
Thanks hope it looks like yours in a few years.

yeah about time
I'm catching up to you colorwise!
Hair,bubble and red algae are getting to bug me too much. I don't mind some but the red is covering every rock I have. Thanks to Dlandino I've become aware of algaefix and am on my 5th dose. I like to dose things, just to see the change? I dunno just to feel like I'm doing something and it'll look different tomorrow. My colors faded some and have come back again since last post. Not sure if it was trying seachem's fuel or going back to homemade food which makes the skimmer produce more. I'll find out when the bottle runs out. I also moved my lights around so that the t5's are on the edges with the AI's in the middle and both leds and t5 cover almost the whole tank. Looks much more evenly lit now.
taded with soju (generous nice guy!) for some black sun corals which are doing well and got some clear dendro looking things off some cultured florida liverock.
found out you can put frogspawn and reverse frogspawn next to each other, who knew?
cali tort grew green polyps
Reefer doesn't like his crusts and I got the crusts of his purple monster that were on some pcv pipe thanks man.:beer:

turquoise stag and purple haze
Tricolor isn't cooperating and being a bicolor. But it is growing maybe when it gets closer to the light it'll do better.
Wild one from PC was white and blue, turned green and is starting to show promise to color up real good.
These aren't as orange in person but I don't feel like fixing it on ps.

Sweet! Yeah the algae thing isn't bothering me too much but I'm starting to get concerned it could snowball into a mess if I don't deal with it now.
Thanks I've had the montis awhile and it shows.
Thank you, some of the darth maul's you liked melted but the rest are doing good. I guess I don't have your zoa growing skills.
Thanks, taking them is actually kinda enjoyable in itself.
Thanks Feel free to stop by anytime with some bone cutters, The frags you gave me are doing well.

Yes it is, doing well too. I have a prism favia that hasn't done anything since I got it at ffm. If you find yourself missing your 90 stop over, a good few of the corals I have came from your tanks. Heck while your here I'll even let you lug a whole bunch of 5 gallon buckets for a water change :lmao:.
On a side note I did a 5 gallon WC the other day and then realized it was only a 2% WC and probably not worth the effort. And my mp10 will stick to 19mm glass. I guess not all of them will. So I left it there.

Sadly no it melted on me. Not entirely sure if it was too low nutrients or a bad mag test kit. When my salifert test kit was getting to the end I replaced with the red sea kit and got readings in the 1100's when it had tested at 1280 with the salifert. so I think it was low for awhile. That and the water being to clean I think was causing my lps problems I couldn't figure out but I'll never know for sure. I've been looking for another ever since and will have one again.
