    I got my ORP and Conductivity probes installed and correctly calibrated and installed a new PH probe this weekend (the last one was a little wonky).

    Here is a screen shot from the Apex:

    I've also got a pic of my spongodes that I'll upload as soon as I can find where my wife put the camera :)

    That looks fantastic Darren. Where in your tank is that located?

    It's about in the middle. The bummer is that over the last couple days it has started bleaching on one part. I'm doing a water change tomorrow and another the following day. I haven't done one in a while, waiting on my auto water change system to get its tank from the local plastic manufacturer, but something is going on so I'm doing two 15% changes over the next two days.

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will turn around. Have you done any water tests?

    Mag is a little high at 1550, Alk = 9.5, Ca = 450.

    Nothing really out there.

    Sometimes you don't realize how quickly corals can grow. Below is a comparison of the Monti Setosa. The first was taken today, the second I posted here on the 18th of March, just two months ago!

    Also, check out the zoos in comparison to my avatar pic.
