    Haha, beat ya. Mine went in last week but I can't get a good picture to save my life. The other two are doing their nightly dance in my ten gallon QT.

    Thank you, really appreciate it!

    What do you use to keep your Cal and Alk stable? That's some serious growth you've got there. I'd like to learn your secret.

    All my top off goes through a kalk reactor, the rest of the demand is supplied by BRS two part via BRS dosers. The honest secret is I test my ALK a lot and do my best to keep it pretty stable. It does fluctuate at times but the key is to not bring it back within range too fast, just small changes made over days not hours. I find getting it back to where I want it with manual doses and then slowly adjusting the dosing pumps to work best.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Attracting the Wrasse people again I see. We have a notable collection of Wrasse addicts here, cough (evolved, Alex....), but there is nothing wrong with that. ::)

    Beautiful images, what camera?

    The Purple Stylophora and the Green Slimmer are really sweet.
