I think your good for now. That’s a pretty gradual swing through the week. Looks like your water change is replenishing all you need for the time being. If it were me, the ATO would be my next investment.

Thanks I'll start looking for one!

Made my first attempt at fragging the JINGLE BELLS cyphastrea. Didn't cut the plug off like I originally planned just cut an edge off to see how it recovers. I didn't take pictures yet, super nervous about it hopefully it recovers quickly.

So far the frag and colony look good. I cant get a good picture of the frag.

Nice frag skills!

Thank you! The dremel I got off Amazon works pretty good for fragging

I have dremel too I bought, but I haven’t worked up the nerve yet to use it. Anyways, which disk did you use?

Mine came with the one I circled but I was looking at ordering this pack so I had all different options and backup.

Surgery went well, it was bigger than they had originally seen (went from 1cm to about 2 cm). They put me in a knee brace and said I can't move it or put pressure on it for 6 weeks now

So this shall be my view for the next 6 weeks,

Just wanted to document the SPS growth. Top left was 6/15 and bottom right was 7/30. Really happy with the growth and color that I'm getting!

Not bad for a month and a half! Must be doing something right!

Thank you! Hopefully I can keep them stable and healthy. I'm still debating whether or not to start dosing. I have been reading and watching so much reef related stuff that it seems that once people started dosing their SPS took off. But I'm super nervous to change anything because the status quo is still producing.

Since I have so much time on my hands to sit around I decided to give photo editing a try. This is a picture I took today.

It's a little dark but not too bad for my first attempt!

jk_s124 · Aug 4, 2020

Nice! What are you using to do the editing?

Thank you, it's the Adobe lightroom app on my phone

Easy to use?

Surprisingly yes, I'm only using the free version so I'm sure if I upgraded there would be some more things I could do with it. But honestly I am only looking to sharpen the colors more so it looks more like how they do in the tank.

I think I'm getting better at this! This was my favorite shot of the cyphastrea to start but it really pops now!!

Did my first water change with the help of my daughter. I love how into the hobby she is! The cyphastrea is about a third of the healed over already after only 2 weeks. Took some top down pictures after the water change.
