The shimmer really does look more natural when you see it in person.

I love the blue colors the radiand and AI give but the whites just aren't the same.

I love the Kessel shimmer coupled with the orphek bars can get some serious light

Tomorrow we have the electrician coming to install the stand by generator, so today I dug the trench for the conduit.

Tomorrow when i get off work I'll clean the lagoon and take some freshies.

The kessils have a different spctrum....more white so the pics aren't like the 220.

This is absolutely nuts that bed of torch corals looks like it'd be so comfortable to just lay on

Strange @Eagle_Steve thoughts?

Posting 0.11P , 11N today

Nutrients looking good, some stuff will pass.... keep telling myself we are going in the right direction. Things are looking a lot healthier overall. Algae growing is a good thing.

The big ticket items are still alive and looking better (torches, zoas, fish, nems and clam)

most acros still ok, montis bleaching still (all weed montis)

Just keep swimming , Just keep swimming

Tanks still using through nutrients continue to dose to 10N .1P

Rasta torch Jellied on me. Womp. Sucked out the unhealthy head last night, hoped the remaining would make it.

Have a few other losses to pull here today from the Great Dino fiasco of 2022.

Stand pieces for the display fuge project. Just add wood.

@LRT quite a bit of algae growing. Back off nutrients adding? Keeping at 8-10 N and .03-.1P

Balancing with brightwell

Looking dirty. Post clean here's the monti I killed a booger survived

made some zoas frags and a rack to start growing them out on

Got out some of that nasty bottom algae. Testing nutrients 7.6N .03P.

Didnt add anything today. Hopefully we can get it to stay there. Leaving on Thursday for a week. Probably best for the tank.

Look ma no Windex!

Hey Nate I was going to suggest giving all your surfaces a good scrape and clean through the 5 micron sock to see where things settle in. There's no getting around removing the nasties from surfaces until the goodies take there place. Nutrients look good. Just stick to obsessive cleaning and nutrient monitoring and you will be there in no time

Tonight lights out a little early. Dosed 1000mg Cipro .

Dinos are mounting a mini comeback on some surfaces some not. Planning to manually remove daily to make headway.

I think some cyano mixed Cipro should have an affect on this would be my guess.

Building the stand for the supplies + display refugium
