Couple Updates:

Well my parameters are finally where they should be (At least with the big 3), I have purchased the Prodibio Reef kit of Oceanic corals and will see how this works to lower my nitrate level (Currently resting at 20ppm). I re-aquascaped the tank after the crash and I'm very happy with how it's looking.

I will grab some photos when I get my camera back but I decided to go with 2 giant islands, one containing all my chalices and the other the fragments of my SPS. On the good side I have a whack load of room for some coral, I think I will be placing a bunch of frags in place to see what sort of growth I can get out of the system.

Coral is forgiving but only to a certain stress point .

Added my prodiBio to the tank today and snapped a couple photos after the lights were off. The zoas are with there night light and I quickly turned the actinics on for the main tank.

Its a little early to see but after 3 weeks of dosing Reef Booster my zoas seem to be a fair bit plumper and healthier looking. Really excited to see what the rest of the line will do, hopefully I can drop my Nitrates down to zero.

Thanks man! I hope your new condo is coming along well, excited to see your multiple 60g system . Chalices are always so much fun to watch color up, they walked out of the crash pretty unscathed but they did loose a bunch of color from it.

Thanks, by that time my tank should be nice and grown in so I will have many a frag to spare. All the fish are sleeping, took the photo at around 1:00am.

Bought a new MP40W to increase flow in the main tank, the tangs really seem to like the extra flow. I also reaquascaped the zoa tank and added a few new additions.





Couple new Red Long finned wrasses.
