My Walt Disney Tenius AKA Rainbow Passion needs some coloring up. Polyps starting to glow. Color is coming back. This was one of the hardest hit by the AEFW. In 6 months it will be glowing like it was!

This one was sold to me as green aspera. Think its an austera. Its definitely recovering from the AEFW still. Green base, yellow coralites, and polyps on the growth tips are BLUE!



Setosa continues to color. Getting darker now.....that's a good thing....
 
Dont know what the heck this is. Been with me for over a year. Hasn't done much. Can't bring myself to throw it away...

OG UC Strawbery shortcake. Looks like garbage. Don't know if its getting better or not. We'll see....



Joe the Coral. This one has been through hell and was widdled down to a 1/4" nub. Recently that nub infested with algae hence all the putty. This one is starting to look decent. Still a long way to go, but I feel like this one is starting to take off a bit....Noticed a big improvement in color in the last week.....

I thought this was dead. Showed no sign of life. Threw it in a dark corner for a couple of months and voila!



King Midas....



Yellow Jawbreakers
 
A while back Marvin gave me literally a couple of polps of each. Truthfully it was a fragging gone wrong, but I glued those 2-3 polyps of each of these cyphastreas and just let them be. Its been a while but now I have a decent frag. Bling Bling + Red Cyphastrea...


Blue hornets recovering from near death, LOL!


Cinnamon.....



Well that's it for now folks. One thing I didn't like coming back to LEDs about was how difficult it is to take pics. Under my halide it was just point and shoot. Please excuse the color tones. My radions were probably around 14K when I took these pics. They are straight out of the camera. Too many to photochop.....Hope you enjoy!
 
Forgot 2....
Oculus blue crush...



There's a pc rainbow in there but I guess I forgot to upload the pic. Until next time then...
 
Thanks. You can see that although the rocks are not totally clean yet, they are improving from the last set of pics. I attribute that to a greatly enhanced clean-up crew and the tank continuing to mature. The sand bed still looks dingy but I expect that will take the longest to clear up.

I was expecting an increase in Alk demand eventually but not so soon. In my experience whenever you mess with the tank, and glueing 20+ frags I consider messing with the tank, my observation has been that corals shut down for a few days and if you condinue dosing, Alk goes up. It has been the opposite. My Alk has been rock solid for the last 6 weeks. Ever since putting the frags in, its consistently dropped over the last 2 days. Not a lot, but enough that I had to reprogram my Apex this morning. Another thing that is also contributing is that my existing corals are all showing signs of improved health and growth, so those are also increasing consumption.

Previously I was dosing 5.5min 6 times a day with BRS supplements. This morning I changed it to 3.5min 12 times a day. I will also be dosing a bit manually to both bring it up and to help me figure things out. I normally test alk 3 times a week, but in periods where I'm dialing in I'll test once a day at least. Hopefully I can dial it in in the next 2 weeks. Love the programmability with the apex. I've been using 30 sec increments but its nice to know I can refine beyond that....although that would seem extreme!
 
Woah dude! You've been busy hoarding some choice acros! :beer: Cant wait to see these sexy sticks all grown up. :)
 
Me too! Got home today and saw everyone of them with great polyp extension including the ice fire:D. Looking forward to setting the cruise control on! Been a hectic last few months!!!!
