    Well my Plasma is still loosing tissue and the polyps are not out. It's slow. Hopefully it will pull through.

    I have stopped dosing Calcium... it's at 450. I want it at 430.

    I dropped my Alk dosing down. I dose for 60 minutes all night long. Took 12 minutes off to drop it slow. I'm at 9.6... I want it at 9.

    I'm going to use more conservative numbers.

    My Blastos are insane. I really love that purchase. My other frags are doing OK, but then they did not have great color to begin with... but I understood why.

    So what do you do when one of your frags is in bad shape..... go buy more.;D

    The Plasma is pretty tattered, but it appears that the recession has stopped. PE still sucks, but hopefully it will pull through.

    So I got some emerald Crabs and reinforced my clean up crew. I'm having an outbreak of Cyano and have stopped dosing any coral food/aminos for now. Harlequin is still grazing.

    So did some rearranging. Still trying to sell my Green Brain for the realestate... not takers yet. I wanted to sell me Candy Cane colony, but now I like it where it is at.

    Please excuse the Cyano. I like how things are. A little fuller.

    I got a Purple Stylo.

    And two new Blastos. Look at the one I got two weeks ago... it is BAD A$$ I think. It is so full.

    Look at this one. It has not opened up, and was recently fragged. It is real peach and green colored. Insane in person.

    And just to top things off.... I ordered a Apex today. My Jr. will be for sale shortly.

    He's getting a colony next week that he will frag up. Sent me a pic it is WAY cool. I think that will be enough Blastos after than. I'll have a little Blasto patch.

    A big piece broke off the green, and I've had to trim back the Idaho Grape to keep from shading those below. Actually my Faave is my Jedi Mind Trick, real green and red polyps, grows at a nice rate... meaning not overpowering. It was hid before, I'll post a pic.

    More pics. Some didn't come out yesterday. Got some frags glued down.

    Now that I moved my Caulastera colony, I think my post looks better. Red Table will grow well there.

    And here is that Jedi Mind Trick. I really like it. Looks better now not hidden by the Candy canes.

    Next order of business is getting rid of the damn Cyano. I stopped dosing additives. Time to replace carbon and GFO Monday. Maybe cut back of feeding. Never had a problem till I started dosing additives.... I probably did too much. When I resume I will go much lighter.
