Thanks Matt, got some top downs from this am to share
The saturation is brilliant in some, but a few have faded. I am quite sure they will come back. The ones who have been pis*y lately are the belina, bubblegum milli, red robin, blue bottlebrush, and a couple more that I can't think at the moment, lol... Awesome Flo and thank for the compliment. I cannot wait to see what you brought home...
Cheers,
Looks great Perry, not seeing the 'paled out'.
Mark,
Thanks for the compliment man, I have a few top downs, especially thought of you and got the red robin, it is paled out, you will see what I mean. Still has crazy PE, and is healthy, but just a bit unhappy at this time. I will keep you posted

I love the latest pictures as much as their invented common names. The pink pigment safe so pronounced. Congratulations.

Faded! No way, looks good. I would still love some of that red robin.
I just moved my Hawkins into a more prominent spot in the tank because of the amazing pictures of yours. Mine is growing but it's not up to your standard yet. It has got a really cool little acro crab in it though that must have moved there from a different coral.
You would never know you just performed any treatment that could potentially stress your acros, they all look great.

Perry looking good bud. Not as bad as you made it out to be lmao. That Ponape looks insane!!!!. I could never get mine to look good. So what do you think created the outbreak, the probios?. Is it because you didnt put it in the fridge or what. I keep all products in the refrigerator, since im paranoid of them going bad

Red Robin still looks good faded.
Thank you Mark! Kind of lost a bit of that cool mint green on the base, but the reds are still on task, lol...
Thank you Bulent! The name game is pretty out of control in these parts, lol... I mostly shoot for unnamed gems that will color up in my system. The pinks and reds do seem to do good for me. Cheers!
Thanks Mark! I am growing all this out, then I may want to do a new tank using all the fresh cut frags from my colonies. Something I am thinking of doing around the spring of 2017. We are going to pull the carpet in the house and do wood or tile, either way a perfect time to build a killer stand and maybe plumb through the way and have a make shift fish room. We shall see, I really love the 120, but I would love to go custom next year and build to spec. Thinking about 60"x28"x20"deep. More shallow and a tad wider and longer. I could use the same light setup and all the other components. I would likely do my 48x24x12" frag tank as a sump, install my own baffles, and partition off a fuge. If so, I will use all treated dry rock, and take my sweet time
Michael, thank you so much for the kind words! The red robin looks a bit orangey to me, but it shifts in color depending on mood
The hawkins is my show piece, kind of common, but when they get this big, they are really sweet. Yeah, the treatment was smooth, I would not hesitate to use it again. I did lights out for 2 days, so that is mainly why I see a few corals a bit off. Anyway, hope all is well, 100ml seems to be doing the trick with component dosing, thanks for all your insight!

Jorge, thanks bud! I cannot pinpoint where the green slime came from, but when I bought a replacement bottle, it smelled significantly different. The original bottle has an off smell, like spoiled. I only keep the bacteria in the fridge, but will likely put coral e in the fridge too, because it is a food.
Hey Matt,
That is a true peach colored acro that I was given from the LFS, it is a signature coral they picked up.(Stormborn Reef). I am still healing from siatic and recent issues, so I am back to being a customer. The restaurant I work at reopens soon, so I am doing the mind~body~spirit plan, to heal
Thanks Flo, post a link to your journal so I can see the new corals. Hope all is well my friend! Cheers!

Thanks Greg, I greatly appreciate the compliment, means a lot coming from you! That is the only BN in the tank, and the pink tips on yellow base is exactly why, I feel it is the nicest one out there of the seriatoporas. The chips I have always liked due to the fuzzy polyps
Thanks again!

Oh lala! I also like the Chips Acro! I`m glad the cyano treatment is working for you.
I'm just starting the Component 123 now too, and I'm wondering how it's going to pan out dosing the same amount of each one. I'm thinking I'll probably need to add on a 4th doser for sodium carbonate only. It's seems like that is always the case, but maybe, just maybe AF has figured out some perfect number. Debora seems to be able to use the C123 evenly long-term.
