Hmmm.... must be in this glass of vodka

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Nope its in the rocks and substrate :biggrin:

You really knocked this tank out of the park buddy

Scoots, peeing in this tank every morning caused a bacterial bloom in the water and on the rocks.

The vodka within LMAO! Thanks Rob

Thanks fredro. I ripped the left side apart last month and disrupted the symmetry of the overall look. Once The left side grows some more, and I clip the right side a little, I think (hope) the tank will looks its best. We'll see.

With SPS tanks, in one short moment everything can change. One mistake, one piece of equipment failing, one anything. At the moment, I just enjoy what's happening with this tank, because I know I could be at square one very easily. :headache:

Rich what you running your Alk at?

 

[jackson6745]

Paul, running at 9dkh right now. Nitrate currently 10ppm and po4 is .06.

 

[ssdawood]

I see your nitrates came down a little. I thought you ran a little higher at like 20 or 30ppm

Coming into my busy season at work. I don't have time to monitor the tank so I reduce my nutrient level during the next few months to give me a greater margin of error.

Coming into my busy season at work. I don't have time to monitor the tank so I reduce my nutrient level during the next few months to give me a greater margin of error.

This busy work season has taken it's toll on the reef. Due to neglect, my parameters were all over the place and it took it's toll. I lost a few pieces including my huge shortcake colony, but I was able to save frags from many receding pieces. Over the past month I have stabilized things and have the tank back on track. All sps growing over any recession.
Here is what it looks like now. I'll go into more detail on exact issues later. Just wanted to log progress.

Kris, what's the status of your tank? I know you had the toxin problem. Any coral left?
