Lived on that side for a year. Left as soon as the snow melted. I'm good here

Here's an August 1 shot. I'm going to take a pic every 1st of the month to see how things develop.
Here you can see the diatoms getting a bit out of hand. Love this part of the tank start-up process -lol

Shot of the Purple Monster and friends. Hanging on to it's color quite well, all things considered. The dead looking piece behind it is actually light yellow. (for now)

I was actually thinking some weren't getting enough That yellow piece is brand new, so not a result of the light in here. The rest are doing mostly great, with a couple pieces lagging behind. Those ones are furthest from the light.

It never lost a beat. I'm actually surprised how tough it is.

Many others lost most of the color with the dipping and moving and messing around with light, but most are almost back to original color.
I'll be happier though when the rock cleans up a bit I figure another month or three.
