Tank is looking amazing Perry. Glad the Hurricane did not mess things up for us that much. At least down here in Miami was non-existant. Not that im complaining lol. Sorry i been super busy with the newborn and the 2 yr old to even post or update, but i will tell you good news. I followed your advise , stopped all dosing and things are looking amazing. It was definitely a copper overdose between the comp 123, micro e and Energy. I will get pics up soon. Thanks again bud

No Problem Matt,
Just let me know when you are ready!
Thank You very much! Now I have to got tackle higher nitrates, lol...
Thanks Cononr, now if I can get my tort to spawn, lol, that would be awesome!
Yes, they seem to be finicky, but I acquired as a frag, instead of a colony, so it seems to be fairly happy, I would imagine it is only a generation away from wild though. Thanks Mike!
Bummer, lol....

Thanks Jorge, I appreciate the kind words man, glad you were able to identify the issue and correct, let me know your progress man!
Hey Tim, yes the bubblegum is going into a better red and the blue is starting to pop again. The spath was a frag off of a wild colony that came in to a wholesaler I was lucky enough to visit and score this frag, that is when I was working part time at the LFS. Thanks Tim!
Lucid Dreams it should be!Looking tops Perry
Thanks Mate! So then Lucid Dreams it is, still need to work out a species ID though, lol...
LOL!!!
You are trip bro! Love it
Thanks Kevin,
Yes that piece is going it's own direction and I am just staying out of it's way, lol... Weird pigmentation splash at the tips, just unique to me

That Lucid Dreams is going to be a one off stunner i think Perry, very unusual pigment scheme. :thumbsup:
The spath is looking sexy, there's some very pretty pieces now being collected. I think that blue and pink tart is scrummy.
Hey Andrew, thank for checking in mate, and thank you for the kind words
Now all the traveling and storms are over, I can get back to my normal routine, so glad for that. I am trying to get more color as these recent events caused a bit of browning on a few. That said, others look sweet, a fickle balance I suppose. I am excited to see the potential with the Spath, they are a hard coral to find it seems. Cheers Thanks Mindy, I know we went back and forth on this coral species, and I have to agree 100% with you being A. Desalwi. I had been reading that many originally believed A. Horrida, but if you see the tabling on this coral, there is no doubt about it at all
Yes, sad that this acro does not get the attention it is deserved. I think many are so ready to jump on the name bandwagon, but seeing colonies like this one should be a reason to buy, just so beautiful as a colony. One of my fastest growers too! Thanks againThanks Flo, slow and steady, I am not like a typical AF user, I do not lock myself into a schedule and just dose, I observe the tank and make logical decisions on what, how much, and how frequent to dose. Otherwise, I simply allow the natural processes of the reef to do their thing. Side-note, I have been dosing Energy 4-5 times per week, and Build every day. I have a spot of nitrate, so I am not using aminos right now, or very little. I use Vitality, but only 2-3 days per week, and only 2 drops. Fish V, I have lessened it's use to 2 times per week instead of every other day. Right now I dose only 3 drops of Pro Bio S and 6 drops of NP Pro daily, this is in effort to reduce Nitrate from 10ppm back down to 2.5 where I prefer. PO4 is 0.02, which is perfect for me. All my nuissance algae has dissapated, and the rock is super clean, as is the sand. My CUC is strong, as I recently bumped all my CUC up. 4 Tiger Conchs, Sand Sifting Star, hermits, astrealas, turbos, 3 cucumbers, and urchin. This is something that often is overlooked, IMO
