A couple of stories in one.
There has been talk on a few journals about sharing the wealth.
I saw this at the second lfs I visit sometimes, I have given the manager a couple of pieces over the past couple of years for his display, most recently a rasta frag.
I asked how much, he laughed and said it was mine, I lost my colony in a heat spike a few months ago, he snapped the piece in half and gave me it back! :)
It didn't look half as healthy as this in the shop!

The rainbow trachy has been looking really happy and healthy recently, very inflated and wobbly.
Come to thinking about it all my lps look great.
... nearing the happy tank point?! ;)

I could have picked pretty much any sps to show health and growth, that little patch of damage is very old and really annoys me but I know if I touch it it will take ages to put it back in the exact same spot once I accidentally dislodge from it's spot! ;)

How's that popcorn going down? ...

I started using this a couple of months ago, the tank looked meh, sort of drab like a bit dull.
It takes me a while to try and figure out what needs changing to step things up a bit, I figured I needed a "tonic" to pep things up a bit as the no waterchanging had to have been sucking things out of the water.
I didn't just close my eyes and pick one, I did read the bottles, I am never going to be one for adding lots of stuff but this sounded like a good starting point.
It has made a real difference for me so I will just carry on with it.
... drum roll ...

This reads as the Insta Stories...
Great shots and a lovely monti. I understand why you would want it back in the tank.

And what a surprise about the Coral Essentials.
I am running out of KZ soon and was gathering all info I could get(which is still limited at the moment) about this product.
Seeing your tank evolve and how happy all inhabitants are, I am set to go for the same product soon.

In the UK it is a similar price per bottle as decent aminos, the bottle said 5.5 drops for my water volume, one drop per 100 litres, I dosed 6 drops a day for the first month and then my lfs manager (mate) said to halve it so I did.
Should last ages! :)

Thanks, there has only been one change!
I'll explain a bit later, I need to take a pic! ;)

This is as blue as it gets, the second pair of T5s to come on are both blue plus, not my cup of tea but I know some people prefer that look! ;Droid

Great view, I love how the corals almost touch the surface. The reflection of the coral on the surface of the water is awesome!

Sorry @GoVols, I prefer @najer's pick better, not a Journey fan.

Speaking of...new. Any cons?

I use it like dope.

If you see a grey matter build up on your live lock, then cut back the dose.

Hit your reef with it about an hour before lights out and turn off your your skimmer for 1 to 1.5 hours too.

Nice Musical Taste @najer and @GoVols
Nothing Beats Iron maiden for Chilling ,
Up The Irons.

Very nice! I guess I am more of a Floyd fan, but being on a road trip today, Maiden is the better choice. The wife and kids with me would probably pick Journey.

Ok I’ll be the stupid one to ask then, who is the guy on the right ? He looks kind of familiar but, mmmm.

And I just downloaded Pink Floyds The Wall album having forgot how good it is! I know Freddie listens to it whilst staring at his Purigen reactor at night so it must be cool! Lol

Jeez, I leave you lot alone for 5 minutes, ... :p

Sat down with my first cup of tea this morning, put tea down, stood up and hand in the tank in about 5 seconds.
The horizontal acro was upside down on the Dis Waltney, pics when the lights are up a bit more. :(
