Restart June 2014, I removed a lot of my rock work, and kept the shallower parts. I'm sticking to mainly SPS sticks, and am going to grow upwards:

Looking good! Def stinks about the crash, do you have an idea on what happened? I too have had some heartache with my setup so I can definitely sympathize.

Keep up the great work

Back in 2013ish, I had purple cloves all over the tank. I heard deworming medication could eradicate it. I bought some similar product from eBay, and that was that. Surprisingly, my goniopora was the only survivor.

Not sure if the medicine was bad, or just the die off was too great causing a spike in ammonia and nitrates. Lesson learned!
