    I haven't done an update for about a month. There are corals that have been added and some have been moved. I bought a used PAR meter and it wasn't calibrated correctly. I ended up burning some coral by having it to close to the surface.
    Most of the new additions have been acclimated and moved up so they are doing great.
    The LTA was irritated by the course sand so he moved to the rocks after about a week. Right on top of my new Teal Stag frag, which was killed. So he now lives in a nem/clown tank at an educational facility in Sioux Falls.
    This weekend I will be getting 2 Red Planet frags and 2 more yellow stags so I guess it'll be time for an update.

    Sorry to hear about the burnt and killed frags. Definitely sounds like picture time when the new corals arrive.

    Most definitely.

    At least they were just frags and not colonies. Still was a shame though, some of them were the last pieces of SPS colonies I've had for years and now are gone unless I go back to people I sold to in the past and buy frags from them.

    How are your tuka's doing? Aren't they awesome colored fish? The one I had would go absolutely bonkers for oyster feat & cyclops.

    The one I had (carpet surfer) was paired up with a Bartletts and the color combo of the two together was awesome.

    Don't know. One went into the rocks at release and I never saw it again until the hermits dragged out what was left of it.

    The other two were doing great. Eating and joining the rest of the community. Then one of them didn't show one morning and same story as above.

    The third then wouldn't leave it's reflection in the glass and eventually stopped eating. Went into the rocks one night at lights out and never saw it again.

    Bummer Mike, how often were they getting fed? I have read 3+ times a day is needed.

    Theres an Ehiem autoair feeder on the tank. 4 rotations per day + chopped mixed meats every other evening.
