Hi Guys
All is going well in the tank. I wanted to share these pictures. I am having fun seeing how an Acro colony is growing from what was left (encrusted) in the rack. That rack has always been under hydroponics lights, to grow the Macros in the fuge. I had 2 small frags saved from my last crash (~3 years ago). They grew in 2 beautiful small colonies. One encrusted the rack. I sold that one around 8-9 months ago. It was left a flat encrusted Acro section on the rack. Just FLAT but with polyps. The second colony was moved to the display tank and is the one pictured that continue growing. Now the pictures.... A few months ago TODAY The lights. You can see the rack under direct plant growing light. The colony growing in the display tank. Cheers Daniel |

Stunning, Daniel!
So dense and so healthy in there! Really good to see your tank again. Considering the troubles you went trough a couple years ago with the sps,it’s amazing how healthy they are now.. and if I know you, all you did to bring them back to such good health was to get your hands out of there and let the tank heal. You have a real beauty of a tank there, Dan! Great job!!

This week we had an outage. 6 hours without electricity and I wasn't at home. Temp dropped to 72 and the outage started at the start of the lights. So SPS had a long night. Doser was off too. But when lights came on (arrived home and started the generator) corals had a very short day too. In other word the few alk pumped was not used and next day I have an increase from 6 to 7 dkh. So I reduced the dosing 3 ml of 107 ml I was dosing. Next day alk went down a little. Then I have to travel again. In Washington DC right now. I left all as it was. I expect at my arrival on Monday Alk have returned to its 6 dkh. I keep my finger crossed that this change have not affected the corals ... or I definitely will close the tank. I though to shut it down when I lost my job a year ago. But then, 5 months later, I got a new job with less traveling out of state. But my badluck was here this week and the outage happened when I was 2 hours driving from home and stuck in a meeting. I left home at 9 AM and at 10 AM lost power ....... GRRRRR. Ok... it is what it is. Cheers Daniel |
