    Awesome score today - picked up a metallic green (with some purple tips) Frogspawn - 3 heads, very healthy and vibrant colors, about 6 - 7 inches expanded. Also got a tiny little Ricordia - $40 for both :)

    Was too busy to take pics - once I got home, I rearranged the tank a bit and I like the new layout a bit better. Glued the frogspawn frag down about 1/3rd of the way up the tank, so lighting should be adequate; it also has plenty of water flow (it doesn't seem like too much, enough to move the tentacles with the flow) so I'll see how it reacts to the area in the tank.

    Also, water params for today:

    PH - 8.4
    NH3 -0
    NO2 - 0
    NO3 - 20
    KH - 15
    CA - 420
    MG - 1280
    Temp - 78
    SG 1.028

    Do not have a measuring for PO4 but should be able to get a measurement tomorrow. Most likely under 1 (maybe 0, crossing my fingers) - phosphates have dropped drastically from my initial reading, by doing water changes of about 3 gallons weekly with RO water, and running Phos-zorb.
