More pics of our fishies, but a bit blurry ...
One day I'll be able to afford a better camera for action shots :sad:

Our Kole now has a name
Here's Ziggy

And here's our clown and bangaii, Goober and Boo
Notice how much Goober has darkened since he was a juvie
When I brought Goober home, he only had black on his fin tips
Now, the whole top half of his body is black
I'm liking it as I wanted a black clown :smile:

Tanks sure looking great Greg, you seem to be getting nice growth! I wish I could say the same fo mine :P I have one milli thats finally doing something after 6 months. :doh:

gregzz4 12-08-2012 02:32 AM

I have some that grow, and some that don't
Lots of encrusting going on and lots of Alk usage

Your tank has been through lots of changes. Plug away, it'll all be good

Thanks, but you haven't seen them up close :wink:
The outbreak I had this summer was taken care of by the big snails, the urchin, and higher Mag levels

so your mag levels are higher I always thought that if my mag is always low causing this.

gregzz4 12-08-2012 03:23 AM

You're right in a sense
Mag levels help control Alk and Ca, and contribute to algae control
Maybe my Mag level was too low this summer, but ever since I raised it above 1400 the algae became controllable
I don't dose it right now as WCs and Reef Builder are keeping it above 1500

I've also started dosing more often, and performing regular Carbon and GFO changes
