Bummer. I was checking my email on my phone and had seen Sonny posted a pic only to see this one. Oh well, I will wait patiently with the rest of the army.

Well done Sonny, I am more of a fishworld guy myself. I bought 1000 masked anglefish last week :lol:
I've started dosing lugols the last couple days and have had a noticable cyno outbreak. I was dosing one drop a day and am going to drop back to one drop every 3 days to see if it helps. If I've read correctly starting MB7 should help with this? On the plus side I saw an immediate improvement with my mushrooms opening more fully. I had suspected an iodine depleation was causing this. It looks like that was the case.
Hi Sunny,
Thanks offering to check. Some precisions:
- Parameters: Temp:79, CA:400, ALK: 5meg/l, Ph:8-8,1, PO4:<0,05mg/l, SG:1,026, NA: 5-10. Every param stable in time.
- Tank: 36X12X18, 33g
- Lighting: Coralife fixture, this one
- Bulb: 150W 14K double ended Coralife, replaced two months ago(had 12k Giesemenn before). This is when I got the coral reaction but when it is also when the fan became unaligned too (which I realigned 3 weeks ago).
- Also 2x65w PC actinic 420nm and no change to water flow with koralia 2 (600gph) and aquaclear 50 (270gph).
- Seeing reaction I decreased MH time from 8h/day to 2,3,4..to now 7h/day. Trying to reacclimate but I suspect it will take time.
- Feeding very sparse with 2 fishs(osclaris+6 lines wrasse) every other day.
Some pics:
Never seen my pinnaple fading white like this in 6 years. Monti was bright green for the 3 months before bulb change and was fast growing. Now he is brown and slowed much its growth.

Euphelia much less expanded than usual since same time.

BTW I'm working on a Miracle tank 36X20X20 project with 33g sump(+refugium ATS) that may help on NA. Maybe replaceing one of those 2 actinic may add a new spectrum opportunity. I'm thinking on returning with Giesemenn too.
So, do you see this as a new bulb reaction, bad cooling from the fan, etc ?
Thanks for your comments.

Yeah, ill be there all three days!Hopefully we can get some of our RC buddies across the nation to come up and check it out. It would be cool to meet some reefers.
