Honestly, I am still waiting to see what photo you enter here

September, 2018 POTM Contest - Anything Goes

This Acropora photo would definitely be a contender. You have about a thousand Trachyphyllia photos too. There are tons of amazing images on display already and I do not know how they will choose. That all said, there is no question you have the eye and skill to beat them all.

Thanks all, more detail in a bit, 4 bags floating! ;)

1 of the bags is a monti plate with blue polyps, well half of the plate!
I said I wanted it, he laughed!
It turns out it is a plate that I gave him a couple of years ago as a frag, I lost my colony in a temp. spike, he snapped it in half and gave me it back for free.
Restores your faith in human nature a bit! :)

That’s great! I just took a JF Flame coral that wasn’t doing well for a local reefer. I hope I can recover it and give it back to him when his tank stabilizes.

I hope to be like you vets some day. For now I have mostly fish. I plan to fill the tank with coral! I'm still trying to get the best lighting. I have two LED lights overhanging the tank. Two blue and two white bulbs.

Interesting, what size is it, what are your water parameters?

Beautiful Coral! One day my tank will get there.

If you have patience and a soft approach it will happen! :)

Morning stretch (Yawn..... )

It appears to like it's spot, loving it! :)

Looking great as always :) I’m looking forward to see what you change up during your time off.

Setting a doser and ato up, new heaters and controllers and return pump maintenance! ;)

I saw it 2 days ago, might not bother this month. ;)

Go dude! ;)

The island rock from the front, the dark red / purple monti is coming out, the coral at the back is moving in soon. :)

The fish were in the same bag, bag 4 was a piece of black sponge that I am very excited about, I used an elastic band to hold it to an old piece of skeleton, it was very fiddly but it spent about 1 second out of water in my care, bowl to cube end introduction! ;)

75 gallon. 0 nitrate, 0 ammonia. Solidity 1.0. I currently do calcium doses with Fritz part 1.

That is a heavy fish load for early on in a tank, imo, don't add corals if your nitrate is zero, let your "system" settle, England here, I don't know Fritz products.

I may be a little of on nitrate. Getting water tested tomorrow. I will definitely update. Oh and yes, no more fish. Lol

I moved the cover to feed the frozen brine and garlic, it takes a couple of minutes because there are 3 fish that hand feed from it.
Looked back when I sat down, 1 scissor tail missing!
Serious, 10 minutes of frantic searching, nothing, I sat back down.
I caught a tiny movement in the corner of my eye, it decided that that was the point to check them a home for the night!
I did utter a naughty word! ;)
