    unfortunately no new adds in, well, too long lol. SPS/LPS weren't doing well so I've been giving the system a few more weeks to mature and stabilize before I make another go at them.

    (Still no po4 test, my LFS only has red sea (not the pro) that I read weren't very good. and BRS is still sold out of salifet)

    These green zoas are growing around the frag plug and making all kinds of new heads. Heres some before and afters of a few colonies

    These are beutiful man. very healthy looking. I think your doing the right thing tho, just let the tank settle in a tad, and watch the frags you do have grow out some.

    I did see the coralline, my 20 is actually growing some again. i went a few months with no signs of growth, but the stuff that was there didnt die. my maxi jet has like 10 small spots on it, and my back wall. congrats dude.

    Man you can really tell the difference next to those crappy digital camera pictures too lol. The camera alone justified the upgrade for me, if anyone's in the market for a phone I recommend it!

    I'm happy the zoas are doing well, but I can't wait til I can show some crazy sps growth like you've been having!

    Thanks! I might go get a couple more zoa frags tomorrow. The rock towards the left with the green ones has plenty of room for a few more

    (2 or 3 mushrooms fell off that rock in the middle and are chilling in the sand behind the scape. Gonna try to rubber band them back)

    Thank you! The coralline is so faint you can't see it unless you're looking for it, but its spread on all the rocks and is encouraging non the less :p


    I need to catch up on all your guy's tanks soon too! Shin and Smitty I hope yours are still doing great, and Snook I know you got the wheels rolling on your 75! But I gotta force myself to sleep now or I'll murder my alarm in 4 hours lol

    Oh I almost forgot.. new adds today :)

    I forget what they said these were called at the store. The first one started with a G and the second I think they said is a Duncan coral?

    When I first put it in, its about the size of my fist. It was probably triple the size at the store

    And here it is about an hour later, I'll get a better pic when it gets adjusted.

    Very nice adds, Goniopora and Duncanopsammia are the scientific genus names.
