    its only been about a week, but I firmly believe the rest of the tanks occupants are now looking even better than they did when those 2 leathers where in there
    I was running carbon 24/7 but even so, now I have them out and still running carbon 24/7

    Ill get a new FTS later today, with full lights on rather than just actinics
    there is a pronounced growth area around the new Monti cap , which is very pleasing

    the monti with white growth around edges

    [​IMG]
    the Radiant wrasse, in slow motion mode so I got a picture

    [​IMG]
    the clam/ fronds oyster? and zoanthid double act - I fragged a few off already for the nano, Ill have to do more soon

    [​IMG]
    the elegance , holding on

    [​IMG]
    the birds nest, growth seems to have stopped, the white tips not as pronounced as they where for the 1st couple of months after I got it

    and now for something completely different
    some of the supporting cast in my SPS takeover, the corals that are hanging on in increased flow

    [​IMG]
    yellow polyps bottom left corner, where under one of the big leathers, looking a lot more yellow now, the big fella is not taking all the light

    [​IMG]
    not a great image but blue zoanthids expanding nicely and moved towards left hand side of tank, where they are slightly shaded from the T5s they are getting a nicer blue

    [​IMG]
    moved the large anthellia colony to the 4ft, but you can see some baby polyps all over this rock in bottom left corner - they are a long way from my SPS , so Ill leave them be for now

    [​IMG]
    just waiting for the hammer to fall - just hanging on in the increased flow, but opens daily so Ill stick with it for now.

    Steve
