Hope you have a screen cover on the tank, both of my flashers jumped right out of my tank and landed in the back when I wasn`t home. Hope to get a few for the new tank.

No worries
I built a light surround and everything is completely sealed
Look at pages 71 through 74

Greg, sorry to hear about the flashers being harrassed and chased all over. If the whip fin doesn't mellow out I may be interested. What page is the whip fin on in your journal?

Our clown went back to J&L
Ever since I removed Goober, the whole center rock structure has become more lively with all kinds of guys hanging out in and around it
I'm glad I got rid of the clown

Our whipfin went back in the DT after a week in the QT jail and has been a model citizen ever since, barring a day or so of battling with our lubbock's

I'm considering a re-scape, but it's just a thought for now
I'm not liking the height of our center and right structures and am looking at how I can make room for coral growth without loosing the corals we now have

The green birdsnest breached the surface last month and is looking good so far, but I'm seeing what may be some STN @ the base
I can't see anything in the base that would suggest rotting dead things
I'm on the fence today about removing it, breaking off the dead stuff, dipping it and putting it back in
I don't want to do it right now if I'm going to do a semi-rescape

Still have some green and red cyano

Other than the stalled corals, everything is doing great and growing well enough

The next couple months may show some different pics though ...

My FTS progression shots compared to many others are not anywhere near where a lot of tanks are and I'm thinking I have to make some changes
I'm liking my temp for growth as far as other tanks go - Brad reported growth after upping his temp to my 79F
Maybe afterall my MP10s aren't enough ?
Maybe it's still just a lack of food ? We have 17 fish that range from 1" to 3", with the majority being in the 2-3" range. They get lots of pellets for lunch (4 auto feedings of about a pinch and a half each) and 2 x 1/4" cubes of mixed frozen for dinner

Params are still stable and I've been testing weekly
A bit out of balance, but stable
Temp 79F
SG 1.025
Alk 8-8.5 - looking to drop it or raise Ca
Ca 390-410
Mag 1290 - looking to boost it a bit
NO2 and 3 zero
PO4 zero
