[Bongo Shrimp]

What are you dosing?

Working on a pic.

Brightwell: (in the order I think of them)

Calcion
Koralcolor
Magnesion
Iodion
Ferrion
CoralAmino (very small amount because it can grow algae)
Strontion
Replenish
Reef Code A (sometimes)
Reef Code B (sometimes)
Potassion
MicroBacter7
Used to does Reef Biofuel but it may have spiked my phosphates so I stopped.
All of the above are under dosed from the recommended dosage.

My SPS grow like weeds.

Here's a new iPhone FTS:


The blown out coral up in the right top back is a fijian blue coral which is bleached and was when I got it (I thought I could bring it back) but it's not looking good. My other SPS are just shooting off in every direction!

Oh and the huge red symphilia is going away soon to slapshot's tank. It actually has yellow lines running all around it and under the right lighting it looks like the black hole sun acan but my lights don't do it justice and it just doesn't seem right where it is. But it will look crazy in slapshot's tank.

Been having some algae problems lately but I'm upping the mag to 1500 and that should take care of it. That's my excuse for the lack of pics.

I now have a helfrichi fire fish in this tank.

And today I caved:


I can't wait to see it and I hope it's that blue.

I might have caved too! That is one awesome looking acro

[slapshot]

I would have caved in one second flat!!!

[Bongo Shrimp]

Thanks guys. I can't WAIT to see it!!!

Great looking acro! But the firefish sounds even cooler to me! Have you gotten corals from live aquaria before?

It is so hard to tell color from pictures. Corals or fish.

Your tank looks awesome! It looks like it would be hard to change anything.

I have gotten fish and inverts from DD but not corals. Slapshot has gotten corals from them before and has been pretty happy and I like the shape of this colony and the branching structure so much that if the color is off a bit I'll still be very happy with it.

Thank you! It is hard to change things when the colonies are epoxied to the rocks! Haha.

Yeah, that would make it tough. No holes to reuse. Do you cut them off with a saw or just grab it at the base and push?

Huh? Slightly confused as to what you're asking.
