Just got my skimmer back up to snuff, I had an impeller/needle wheel in one of the Eheims go down last summer and finally replaced it. Now I'm back to 3 pumps and it's kicking butt.:smokin:

All your corals look great and very happy! :rollface:
What skimmer are you running?

Great photo's as always Greg. The A. Enchinata is beautiful indeed. I really like the reef-top look of your tank.

Got this a little while ago on a whim and it's had a bit of a rough go. Not sure what it will do colour wise or if that is it.

My slow growing stylo seems to like it's new home.

You can see it had recently been in the sand. Hopefully it will stay put and get happy.

I managed to get my phosphate issue licked and fixed the low alk problem so things are on the rebound. I keep my vortechs on 100% in lagoon mode and it seems to work pretty well, thanks.

Wow! Red stag and "high hopes" are just gorgeous Does the red stag have a name? I'm not sure if I have that one yet

 

[volcom69]

I must have missed your po4 problem, what happend do you know how high it got. Did you have a nitrate problem then also, what is your nitrates at just curious. I say whatever you did worked the colors are looking great.

Thanks Christy. No you don't have that red one.....yet
I got the "high hopes" from Marc (Fudge) as a little frag a few months before his tank was featured here on RC in Nov 07. It's been a pretty slow grower but I think it will be worth the wait.
