Thanks Greg, just checked out your thread, ooooh weee it's looking good! I wish I had a tank that size.
So my newer MP40 QD basket seized up, fortunately I was near the tank when the dry side started bouncing around. I had turned on feed mode and it locked up when coming back out of it. Magnet looks to have swelled, I can see rust and gunk. New one is on the way. My older basket is still going strong. Hrmph.
In the meantime I have my giant spaceship Tunze doing the work, turned down low so it doesn't strip the flesh off of any acro. It might be a tad oversized for this tank. :spin1: Did a good job of moving the sand around and stirring up some dirt that the skimmer took care of.

Thanks Connor!
Finally got some topdowns, using a new shorter topdown box. I can't get really wide angles, but I can do wider than before. Here we go.
Palmer's Blue just might, maybe, finally, be showing more blue. It hates my tank.
Pinkish milli up high
The colony down low, which has some better colors IMO.

One of the two frags that survived the apocalypse.
The other, which appears to be tabling.
The Lokani is movable, I just don't know where to move it.
Horrida still goes through dieback and then rapid growth. Seems to prefer the level of flow just below where it gets skin stripped off.
Red Robin is good from this angle, but mostly grey brown.
Have to get above the waterline to get this shot.

Still here, still alive.
NOPOX dosing up to 10 ml now, I've been taking it very very slowly. KH dropped to 6, 2 part dosing up to 150ml daily. Growth responded well but I feel color is down a notch except for that crazy yellow/red acro.

The horrida on the left seems to be doing a lot better as it grows into lower light but more flow. I wonder if the large hairy polyps indicate that this acro grows in lower light than most?
My small 40 gallon is NOT an SPS tank :debi: KH dropped to 5.5 because I manually dose and sometimes forget ... and sometimes I forget that I forgot. No acros, no problem.

Both tanks looks to be doing well. You need to frag that green slimer, its growing out of the water. Not a bad problem to have.

Everyone else would frag the slimer, I'm letting it go to see what happens, though I have cut off some branches aimed at other corals.
Thanks Josh!
