I had two from Justin and lost both in the tank transfer.

Ahhh...That sucks Its definitely one of my slowest growing corals. Mine has never recovered from the new bulb bleaching a few months back.

Thanks Mike. Now the that the background is clean, its really makes a difference in pop after the halides go off.

Ok, but you're close, the coral collection is off the hook now you just need to let it grow .

That I can mutually agree with. I looked back at the FTS from feb and compared it to May and was pleasantly surprised, especially since I have been fighting a alk issue and reefinglazingnessitis

Nice growth, Mark. Hopefully, one day, I can get close enough to smell the exhaust if I can stop killing my sticks.

Wow, that really shows a difference. Did the lighting change, or was that just new bulbs and better photog skills?

Like a good friend of mine always says about this hobby, "if its not one thing its another" and I'll add "but we keep dumping more and more into our tanks"

Nope, One I took all the blue out of pre shot and the other one I was too lazy

Slacker!

Man, even the fish list has changed quite a lot in that short time...

 

[mpoletti]

Yep, I am pretty happy how the tank is right now. I have a few pieces I need to get remounted, but the tank has been more enjoyable than I can remember in a long time.
