Aww, that sucks. Sorry to hear that Brad :neutral:

Sucks to read that. You can get pretty attached to these guys.

Too bad about the tang, I hate losing fish

Sorry to hear about your loss. Your video looked like it was very active and fun to watch.

Sorry for your loss brad :cry:

:sad: Sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful fish.

Damn... Sorry to hear man!

Great video though of better times.

Sorry Brad
The frag you gave me is still going strong ... thanks

Sorry to hear about the tang, I thought it would have pulled through.

Growing pains...
 

The tank is approaching two years old now. It seems to have an entirely new set of challenges now.

Some of the faster growing coral heads are simply collapsing under their own weight. Well...Freckles (aka "the submarine") might give them a gentle nudge. But they inevitably snap off right at their tiny base.

Here's today's frag!

As the coral gets really large, the inner/lower areas don't get any light and tend to die off. As a result the coral just adds weight to it's top and never reinforces the bottom. It would seem that a healthy dose of constant trimming is the ticket to longer term, sustainable, large coral heads. (at least with faster growing types)
