But after stirring it up, and not dropping back down on my Hanna, then I know it is time to change it.

It's nice to hear that everything is doing well now.

I think the long wait is over, I will dropped by there soon. I'll shoot you a pm.

By the way, what GFO do r u using?

[Reef Pilot]

I use the HC GFO, from various sources.

Your tank is looking great Walter!

Thanks, Janet, everything is healthy and growing good now. But I still need to do some rearranging to get some corals better placed, and maybe make some room for others. I just need to figure out how to do it, without tearing my whole tank apart...

PS: I do want to make it over to your place sometime to see your tank. Your pics were awesome.

Problems were last summer. Water and tank are good now. Coral color and growth have returned.

Are you referring to my red planet?

Why I like SPS... Got this frag about a month ago, was completely white, now starting to show some interesting colors.


What was left of my Pink Lemonade colony,...encrusting is starting to show branches already. Won't be long before I have another giant colony from this one. It has very good genes...


Another recent frag. Looks a lot like my Pink Lemonade encrusting,... but the mother colony was more fuzzy yellow, so will have to wait and see.


Not sure what this recent frag is either. But seems to be settling in nicely.


Some of my old favs.

And from another angle.


This one's been around for a while, but had to move it a couple times due to being crowded out by my plague mushrooms.


Red Planet color and growth has returned.


My poor Setosa still losing the war with the Red Planet. But it is spreading elsewhere...


Sunset Monti doesn't lose any wars... Latest victim was my Pink Milli, which I had to frag and move.


Bonzai trying to escape the mushrooms...


Pearlberry(?) doing fine...


Green Bali getting crowded out, too.


Nothing can stop this Valida...
