Cheryl's JBJ.

Just doing some growth shots:

Jan 2nd.


Jan 15th.



Still no coralline algae :-/ I just do not get it, values good, lighting good and all I can grow is cyanbacteria and GHA. Going to have to get a phosphate kit and see what is up.

Top down of new Millepora.

 

The RPs still growing. Thats an awesome growth in less than two weeks, Cheryl! New millie looks very happy too.

Speaking of, Im trying to get a decent sized RP frag from LFS.

 

Hey Shin,

The growth is actually my Christmas Millepora, but I do not think it's a Millepora.

It is the second fastest grower in the tank, put not a tabling.

 

OH haha thanks but ya it looks a bit different than regular millie..

 

Looking good!

 

Thank you Nvizn.

Same corals, some polyps, different day.






Of note, I cleaned the tank significantly this weekend. A couple hours of doing so I notices small flatworms on the surface of the glass. They seem to be a type that lives in the sand and are harmless. Smaller than your typical FW, it was a tad concerning for a brief moment.

 

Seems like every picture you post has awesome pe, I'm jealous lol, looking good.

 

Is the green one a Mille? Looks down right "furry"!

I get those little flat worms after a glass cleaning too. Seems like they're the first thing back on the glass and it doesn't take them long.

 

Thanks Chris, it's the chemicals.

Yes it's a Millepora.

Divers Den advertised it as "Bushy", that seems to be accurate.

The presence of any FW gives me pause. These ones are quick and tiny. I like the fact that it means my tank is now starting to show some bio-diversity after 3 months since nuke.

Stomatella have made an appearance.

Coralline is finally starting to spring up although sparingly.

 

Definitely looks and sounds like you've got it on the right track. Sit back and let it grow from here.
