    Looks like your bad day is better than some tanks that are having a good day.

    First off, since I started paying attention to the tanks again, growth has exploded. I'm also going to try some of the HyperKoral that Matt recommends - it's getting shipped in soon.

    Aside from the fact that my big orange monti cap started bleaching for some unknown reason, everything is great in the tank.

    More shots...

    This is a new ORA Mint Pavona that I got a few weeks ago. Seems to be doing well.

    Here are my stags - growth has been great in the last couple months

    I found a new love: Cyphaestreas

    A very bushy yellow stylo

    As cool as this pic looks, the color is NOTHING like it is in person

    My teal stag. Yes, I said TEAL. I wish I could get the colors to come out better with my camera. Some stuff is right on... then there's this. Still looks good, just not accurate.

    This is one of my encrusting montis. Below it is a pic I took when I first put it in a couple years ago..

    Here's one - the other needs a good glass scraping before it's pic-worthy :)

    Darren your tank is looking great! Funny how paying attention goes a long way, eh? I've noticed that as well. :)

    Cool. Let me know what you think of it. I started to really notice stuff after about a month. Jeez.. how much do you have to dose on your tank? It's 1ml to every 100 liters (26.4 gallons) every other day. Works out good on my tank that is 26 gallons of water volume. :) Gonna be a bit more in your tank!

    Tank is looking awesome!

    Love the cyphastrea. Wish I could get mine to encrust like that.
