New Orphek gets here today so I’m trying to hold off on this months photo till I get it up. Hopefully I can get it mounted and running tonight. It Will be interesting to see what it looks like under a different spectrum.

Lots of emerald crabs and blue hermit crabs will clean that algae up.
The last time I put an emerald crab in I watched it take a chunk of montipora and eat it, took a bite of acro too before I got it out, so probably staying away from them, I know people use then all the time, I just don't trust them. I thought my foxface and bristle tooth would like it but they don't seem to eat as much of it. I put some capulara prolifera in my sump in hopes it would out compete it. So will see if that works.

August entry. I’ve also attached some parameters. I don’t test for calcium or magnesium. Those are in range based on ICP tests.

Looks like we are starting to get some base growth. The coral is starting to encrust. Has anyone else had any growth?

I haven't seen much if any yet, but I didn't look closely this month.
What PAR do you all have yours at? I’m around 160 and trying to increase slowly.
a fine question. I've never mapped my tank.
