    Blue is nice too though! That one piece you had a while back that was cream but faded to blue at the tips, you still have that one?

    No that was the hyacinthus, a sweet acropora but it needed stronger flow and more intense lighting than I could give it once it started to grow. Problem with Nanos every coral pretty much gets the same flow and lighting.

    I told myself no more colonies. Just let the ones I current have grow out. My thought was to just fill in the spaces with zonathids/palys and monitpora.

    With that said, I think I actually need this piece.

    Dang that is a nice one! Have you decided what kind of sand you want to go with? Or are you still deciding if you even want it?

    I am going to put the Aragonite white medium size back in, maybe.

    Also looking for a young designer clown to match with the evil older female.

    API test kit:
    Ca: 350-400
    ALK: 10

    Red Sea Pro:
    Ca: 290 :angry: :angry:
    Akl: 9

    Red Sea Pro harder to use but more accurate, boy that chaps my hide......I knew something was up. Marine depot had a special on the test kit so I got that and some Chemipure, and glad I did.

    Sand added to tank, just feels right. Yes I am extremely fickle.

    New corals coming all from Happy Corals: Pink zoanthids, green very pretty palys, and green and pink Millepora.

    Over and out. :)

    Wow, that's a big difference on the kits. Was it an old API?

    And congrats on the sand, I knew you'd come to your senses ;D

    Naww it was not too old, not expired.

    Yeah so much easier to add sand than take it out. Probably 1/4 deep so cleanable, that is the part I do not like, is that dirty sand bed and I have a bad history with deep sand beds.

    That is a BIG difference!

    When using API did you use syringe and measure 5ml or did you follow the white line?
