Thanks, guys! That is suppose to be a RR nauti spiral. The polyps are a deep rouge however, I guess them Mitras made them polyps look kinda blue. It is an awesome piece and very affordable and fast grower too! MJC may have them. I'll try and get a top down some time later in this week.

Default Jan 2014 updates and pics
Happy New Year to all reefers! Not much to update other than experiencing patches of cyano and to take care of this I added chemiclean into the tank and I will complete the process with a 40-50 gallon water change this weekend. Some frags have taken only 2-3 mths to settle while others have taken 4-5 mths...

Within the past three weeks Alk hit 11, ca is at 1390 and mg is at 1290. Will need to incr on ca and mg and with the water change to reduce the Alk. I may keep it higher as I am noticing better growth, or it may just be a coincidence.

The BK is doing an tremendous job while the new wp25s increases the flow and making the millis even happier.

Here are a few new pics....













Have a few new top down shots and will share later...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Default Warning...Huge Jan pic update!
After using chemiclean the cyano is gone ( hopefully for good) however, there are still numerous patches of turf algae on the rocks. To fight the algae war I have increased the GFO and have been adding 30ml of MB7 for the last 16 days and planning to add a few turbos. Besides the algae the corals are finally starting to show signs of growth and coloring. Hope you like the pics and ehem! Please ignore the algae in the pictures...
