    Yeah all the corals, LPS and SPS and the maxi are all growing like weeds. Got clowns today, that is a whole other story.

    Tyree Pink Lemonade via Battle Corals.

    Nice additions Coralline. I loved those clowns when they were small. But then again I had 3 pairs of clowns then so that might have been the pecking order issue.

    They seem fairly benign, do not move much. The advantage of the mini is the colors. I will be adding more since they pretty do not wander much. Not big light seekers either. I love the texture.

    I do expect attitude when they get big. Bob at iBluewater was kind enough to send me a pair, I would say they are smaller to medium size, really pretty. They are still hiding and shy. I have the lighting turned way down and I turned off some of the flow so they did not have to spend calories fighting the flow. Both fish were very tried, sleeping a lot. Boy shipping is stressful.

    How are your sps doing on the Kessils? I will look for an update. You be living the dream tank Wayne. :D

    Excellent I look forward to it.


    So I dosed a very small amount of Acropower this am and then feed, this is the result. Not sure if it's good or bad, but the Acropower is definitively doing something.

    It's very good. The gonipora is not only trying to feed but it's actually ingesting. Very good stuff. I think you'll have a softball size soon enough. My aleveapora has tripled in size since reefapalooza. Check out reef roids if you get a chance, frigging reef crack!

    I might try the Roids, I have heard good things about it as well. I have no idea what it's made of.


    You know Zesty I almost bought a Red Goniopora today from LA. I am loving the coloration of the green and red varieties, but it's the movement they add to a sps dominated tank.
    It's been almost 10 years since I kept them, I do not remember mine ever blowing up like my currant one is doing or like yours in the image.

    Instead of buying more corals, which I really do not need right now I got:

    Tunze 6040 Controllable Pump, it's pretty awesome.
    Tunze Osmolator 3152

    My clowns are doing beautifully, already eating, amazing.
