    Lovely shots and congrats on overcoming the cyano. It is wierd that you can become limited by PO4 but anything is possible with the technology we have at our disposal.

    Looks good. When those zoas grow out, it's going to look stellar.

    What happened to those SPS frags from a while back?

    I got half an acro and some sunset monti lol...... I couldn't beat the cyanno in time. It bound and released nutrients. I was running BP, performing aggressive water changes, reducing feedings, but nothing helped until I got chemi clean. Now im cyanno free with undetectable nutrients and the monti is growing fast. Ill try some other SPS and see how they do.

    I saw the photos, pesky slime.

    I say add a couple stag horn types up high and have the ZOA's fill in underneath.

    Maybe a green slimer and blue tort.

    Yeah Kevin. I just picked up some more montis for "canaries" so to speak. We will see how they do! Anyways, i've been eyeing a local brain coral for a few months thinking it had potential. It was all washed out under crappy chineese LEDs and I took it home today. This is like 3 minutes after acclimation. Its going to be as Cheryl puts it; Balla!

    Commensal Crabs are one of my favorite parts of marine life.
