A lot has happened… where do I start.
Let’s go for chronological order.
So, first off I did my 3rd prazi dose on Wednesday and all was fine. No issues at all!
Then, on Friday, I unfortunately came home to have lost my Magnificent Foxface. I’m thinking it was a mix of Stress and Old Age as he got skinnier and skinnier but continued to feed. It’s one I’ll have again (It was my first ever Foxface I owned, it’s one I’ll never not own). Just this time I will go for a smaller specimen - 2-3 inches over the big 6-8 inch specimens you get.
Then, yesterday I brought back way too much coral. Ignore the elegance - that is the rescue from my Nano. The coral I picked up was;
2x Wall Hammers (1 Green Splatter and 1 Holographic)
1 Rainbow Hammer
1 Yellow Frogspawn
1 Orange Hammer (this was one of the pieces I was most annoyed about losing)
1 Beach Bum Monti palawensis
1 Gold Juggernaut Monti palawensis
So that all entered the tank yesterday.
Then, today is another big one!
I did my 4th and possibly final Prazi dose, I removed all the special coral (in the above photo). And for 4 hours I did the dose until I was willing to add the coral back in.
So, I luckily had no losses this time against the first time I did that trick.
Then, in that 4 hours of dosing I went and got my second new light! Yes, I have 2 new lights on the tank with the Radions!! I went for the AI Blades, both the Glow and the Grow. Attaching that was fun but I did it eventually (about 3 hours it took
) they don’t make it easy I can tell you that.
So, once the lights were on it was time to reintroduce the last few coral from my nano!! I still have at least 1 piece I’ll move over I just want to see if the other will do well prior to the move. So, we added today;
1x Dragon Tamer Torch
1x Ultra Grail Torch
1x Plasma (currently an expensive 24K) Torch
1x Bubble Coral
1x Dreamcatcher Goni
Which means this tank is now looking lively again!! Here’s a much needed FTS and a few photos of the corals and BTA

Just the question if I go for one the size of my Bicolour or slightly bigger.
Probably won’t pick one up for a while as I want everything to settle but man the tank is looking empty without him

We’re back! Corals are loving life again
Now the dilemma of what encrusting species to trial out with the fish. All my corals are currently coming out of the rock but none are actually going to cover it long term.
Any ideas?

Bizzaro Cyphastrea for sure. Maybe Electric Daisy Styloconiella.

Superman Monti in the right light is really cool as well.
I'm trying out encrusting gonipora with this next batch of corals. Might be a neat idea if you want something differentWe’re back! Corals are loving life again

We must let this spread. It will take over everything. Your tank could be next

My elegance loves high lighting, the sand bed is good for them but man if you’ve got an area at the top of the rock shove them there, they’ll love it.
They also love manganese.
Mine is now back to this size again… only took 1.5-2 months.
