Happy Friday everyone!

So not much has been done or updated over the last 2 weeks, but just sitting back and letting the tank do it's thing.
I'm keeping up with 2-2.5 gallon water changes every 7-8 days. Daily 1/8 cup top off, feeding the tank 2-3 times per day while I'm at the office, and Mon/Wed feeding the tank reef chili.

Everything is growing extremely well. The little SPS frag I've got in the back has really darkened up in color, and starting to show signs that it's getting ready to grow some branches. GSP almost has it's mat all over the frag plug. Zoa's are big and full, and have lots of baby heads getting ready to grow out of existing polyps. All favia's are laying down more skeleton and encrusting really well. My chalice and lords are doing great, and my cyphastrea went from having 3 polyps to having 8 polyps!

Next thing I think I"m going to do since I've got a killer light now, is getting a box of SPS from @Battlecorals

Happy Reefing everyone!

Nothing much to report here, but here's a 1 month update on the tank. Everything seems to be settling in nicely and growing well. Only corals I haven't really noticed much "growth" on are my lords or my candycane, but I know those sometimes take a few months to settle in, and then can really explode in growth from there. The pic of my purple/pink stylo doesn't really show the growth, but this want from a sinny little twig that was light pink when i got it, to a deep pink, and it's beginning to encrust at the base, and get some knobby bumbs through out the coral. My zoa's are doing really well, continuing to throw down more mat and little heads, and all 4 of my favia/favites are encrusting like crazy! I love how you can really tell where they're growing as the new skeleton is always a different color.

Already can't wait to put more coral in the tank. Not sure if I"ll do one of the bargain Battle Coral boxes of 5 premium sticks...or try and score another 10-20 corals on WWC ebay auctions. Either way, I"m very happy with how the tank is looking and where it's going.

Enjoy the pictures! (All progress pictures are from May 8th-May 30: 23 days)
