Thanks! Would love to add a few more, hint, hint but it's certainly a nice collection of pieces. Growth actually slowed a little last month because I had a couple of small alk swings. Bad batch of alk or salt messed me up for a while. I've been really staying on top of things lately to make sure it doesn't happen again. And pics this time didn't come out to pretty. They were taken with my white bulbs on (10k + 6k).

I can't update the list for some reason but Bill just informed me that the holy grail from wet thumb frags didn't make it (dead). On a seperate note, all the pieces in my tank are doing well, with the exception of the disco inferno piece I cut for Jai. It's still alive but doesn't look good and it's receded a bit. The other one that doesn't look great is the cut frag of the viron flame. It's alive and eating, just not happy and puffy. My miami is showing a new growing eye and the others are doing well. My alk has been steady at 8.5-9, I've been testing practically every day just to make sure. Calcium is at 425, mag at 1350, salinity at 1.027, temp at 78/79 and ph at 8.1. that's all folks.

Lookin good Bill :smile: Well I just got back from vaca had a blast but like the saying goes all good things come to an end I came back home to find the oi completely gone it was a booger before leaving but the lil guy didn't make it guys I am very sorry it was a piece I was lookin forward to gettin my hands on and watching it grow out I will be workin on snappin some pics and lookin forward to doin an update by nexts weeks end

 

[gonewild34]

ok i figure i should update since its been awhile i came home today and some of the chalices looked flat not as puffy as they usaelly are i dont understand why everything has been right on spot

 

[fab1971]

Updates :wink: Hurray!!! Thanks Dan and Bill! I'm uploading a few pics myself. Everything is looking good. I estimate by the end of March, we can knock out a few more off our list. The pieces on my end are growing nicely now and all very happy. Only exeptions are the strawberry wm. It had receded a little bit when I had my alk issues and I didn't even notice. Thing was so small to begin with that I didn't become aware until I photographed it today. The other one is the snakeskin chalice which is weird because it's never given me problems. Looks a little bleached on one side so I shaded it a bit (hence no pic). Anyway, you guys should be happy with the rest. My numbers have been spot on. I've been testing very often and changing the water + cleaning filters constantly. Also changed my salt (new mix is great). Anyways, hope you like the pics. Only t5's, 2 ati blue plus, purple plus and coral plus bulbs. No leds on these pics.
