So Warren hows everything looking now? Still having issues or back to normal?

Everything appears to be back to normal. Ended up tossing the piece as it was too late to save. Going to monitor for one more week then begin mounting the frags.

Forgot to ask you today how that new skimmer is working out

It's working great! The best part is all the extra room in the sump!

What extra room ?

drunk post :biggrin:

Lol, still drinking? The AquaC, although a fantastic skimmer, is basically a giant box. It took up a full 25% of the sump and blocked access for adding socks... something I can do now.

c'mon, all Greg's weekend posts are "induced" - lol

Minor disappointing update I'm afraid...

Lost the Kole and a Flame Angel, within 12 hours apart, to what appears to be Ich. Ruled out Velvet, based on where the Flame came from. He was re-homed to my tank last week. Too much stress in too short a time I figure. Clowns and Damsel are showing symptoms, so I am hoping for the best. Plans to add fish at this time are completely on hold. I am starting to reconsider a QT.

Nitrates continue to be around 5 ppm. With the help of a few other members at large, we've pretty much narrowed it down to the dry rock, and the time it takes to build up the beneficial bacteria. Just a waiting game at this point.

Corals were browning out, due possibly to the fact that I was only running the Kessils at 60%. Slowly been ramping them up to 100% with a longer photo period, and the corals seem to be responding, with colours returning.

On a positive note all the inverts are doing well, including the Bubble Tip, which has quadrupled in size. The Trochus Snails continue to keep all hair algae in check, and coralline is starting to take hold on the rocks finally.

At this point I am thinking of a coral and invert only tank, lol.

Finally picked up some pods today in hopes of building a grand army!

I think your corals are browning because you are using LEDs
