Looking good, guess the rbta didn't have any problem settling in the tank.
That's a piece of meat!

At some point I need to get something other than LPS. I have said every time I ad something to the tank, Im going to get some zoas or something, but its yet to happen. I really like the look of magician zoas and also red people eaters, anyone have any other suggestions?

 

[jc_k]

Sunny d's and watermelon zoas are some of my favorite.

I had a buddy, big SPS guy swear to me that Acropower was the bee's knees, Ive never used any magic in a bottle, but decided i might as well give it a try. I did my first dose yesterday at 1ml, and it might be happenstance, but the acro frag I got from A local reefer last week hadn't shown a polyp in a week, until today.

Tank is really liking good. How often do you do water changes?

I dont have a strict schedgule on waterchanges, probably should, but I change ~4 gallons every 3 weeks or so. With only one fish i dont have much of a bio load and way overskim, or thats my rational to avoid doing them more often :doh:

 

[northgahillbilly]

time for a photo dump, tank upgrade coming in the next month or so, going with the deep blue 34 gallon rimless frag, as the pictures show, I'm running out of room

All the new SPS came from Reef Shac, the new meat form Nemo

My wife came up with this idea, which I think will really help me keep track of things

Im having an issue trying to color up my SPS, montis are doing great, as is the birds of paradise from shac, but the few acros are not showing their best. I added some phosguard and put carbon back in, I hope this along with a decent water change will help out the acro coloration.
