Hi Mark, thanks for being interested in my tank. You said: old age. You must be teasing me. Haha.
I have to admit I am getting lazy of taking pictures of my corals. The tank is doing fine. I have been on vacation 3 times this year. Each time is at least 2 weeks long and "knock on wood" nothing bad happened to it.
When I get a chance I will post some new pictures. Stay tuned.

Happy Holidays everyone. Hope 2019 you have a better-looking reef tank.

I have been very lazy of taking and posting pictures of my tank for over a year. Here is the first photo of FTS.

Very nice tank. Any plans to do some trimming and sell some frags?

Thanks.
The corals as you can see are starting to touch each other and shading some corals beneath them. I have just bought a coral saw to do the trimming. I will wait after the holidays. Now all the children and grandkids are in the house, very hard to do it.
I usually take the frags/colonies to the local fish store.

Hi Ed,

About a year ago, my corals lost colors, very little PE and the coralline algae almost non-existence. Thanks to your advice to reduce the bacteria dosing, now the colors begin to come back and as you can see the corals have good PE. Coralline algae are all over the wall now -- tough to clean them off the curve edges though. Haha, you win some you lose some. Most of the corals grow fast, but with a small tank like mine, I would rather have good colors than fast growth.

I also find keeping the alk at around 7 dKH really make this tank more robust.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks, Matt. "Still reefing" -- I think I will have about 6 or 7 more years to go before I really quit. I still remember I was about 8 years old when I began with a bowl of one goldfish. Haha, since then never stop except a few years in college. And about 30 years ago, I went from fresh to salt water -- some memory.

Happy Holidays, Matt!

Thanks. Time to trim some corals. It is going to look more ugly for awhile.
