    super glue! most of it was just hanging there (glued only in spots) but within a couple weeks it had attached to the glass/coralline around the glue.

    checked my params today. same as always. so if i don't have anything come up I am going sps and clam shopping sunday in support of the economy ;D

    nitrate/phosphate: 0
    ca 440 Alk 13 Mg 1470
    pH 8.4
    SG 1.027
    77*

    been running a bit cooler during the winter (still well within tolerable range) and it appears to me the coral prefer it. I will be lowering the heater during the summer (I was keeping it at 79*).

    My dendro and everything has been super open a lot lately! Lots of new growth. Acans have 2 little babies. Purple Blasto's are spreading off their frag plate. GSP is starting to spread and hide the ugly purple wall. good times.

    Who cares about the names when you have 'em in your tank? Your setup looks healthy and stable. K+
