Current changed. Can now see new blasto polyps.

Finally, had the chance to use my GC's from last X-Mas. Here are the new aquisitions. Flame Angel and ORA Marshal Island Blue Bottlebrush.

best attempt at picture of my hammer coral (it's not green, more gold)

Nice bottlebrush. Looks like a promising piece. What color are the polyps, hard to tell in the pic?

greenish-yellow. ORA has a better picture. ORA's pic

That is a good looking acro.

Well, left for a few days to go take care of my Dad, and came back to a stressed tank. PH dipped to 7.8, and the acropora receded really far back. Daily monitoring of PH and Calcium has brought back. Fighting purple cyano as well. So spend last night to 3am, installing the new sump that would fit reef octopus (was using an underated one as a temporary solution). That made a big difference.
Next on the agenda is to install the BRS doser.

 

[Grant W]

Always something. Things should settle down once you get the equipment sized right and automated systems set up. Keep after it.

Finally, cyano is dying back. Acro-valida growing back. Almost thought I was going to lose it.

 

[Grant W]

Good to hear. Keep us updated.

UPdated picture of Acropora Valida

 

[cbrennan4]

Wow! looks like you have had some good growth!

 

[NeonFish]

Yeah. It's growing fast. At least 1/4" a month on each branch. Other corals are not growing as fast, but I think they are filling out the base first. The blasto has over 10 heads on it. Every night the candy cane and brain corals extend their tentacles ready to grab stuff.

Here's some more pictures.

Great polyp extension on the Valida.

My Copperband butterfly died yesterday. bummer. It was the 1st fish my daughter gave to me.

 

[AMAYEU]

Sorry for the loss. Is it the one in your profile pic.

 

[NeonFish]

yes. It was one of my favorites. It was so curious and fearless. I would put food into the little plastic medicine cups and it would just pick the food right out.
