Haha, I hear ya. Top Shelf Aquatics reached out to me last August and offered me their photographer and online position as their previous employee was moving. I agreed to fill position.
Taking pics all day of coral doesn't leave me with a lot of desire to rush home and take more pics.
I am grabbing a lot of mariculture colonies from Top Shelf Aquatics and will be filling my tank with them. Indo was closed for so long we rarely seen any new and exciting corals enter the hobby, so now I am going to take advantage of having access to the colonies. As having something new is exciting I will be excited to share pics of them. Hopefully I find an Indo gem, lol.
Stay tuned for the return of pics!
I haven't heard from you in a while! Come visit me at Top Shelf Aquatics

I posted this to my IG but forgot to post it here also.
One of the mariculture colonies I got from TSA about a month ago. It is doing really well and is growing new branchs down on the bottom right.

With you having only small SPS have you had to start dosing yet? I bought my first SPS today and am worried I don’t have the time to keep doing regular tests, so I would like to know, how many SPS corals do would you have to start automatic dosing?UPDATED FTS of all tanks as of December 2018

I don't really share much pics but I figured I would start so I can document my journey and sps growth. I will upload new photos of new sps as I get them or have time to take more photos. Here are a few to start with.

Groaning nicely!Cornbred Maleficent. This is my favorite coral I own. I use to have the BC spainbow in this spot as you can see the Maleficent growing over it around the edges.

You are looking at a post from several years ago.
Sps are a little harder to keep if you don’t regularly test. You need to test alk regularly to know if you should dose. Once alk and calcium drop them you dose to keep it from dropping.

One of my favorite corals. I couldn't capture it in the pic (can see a little in the lower branch) but it has a florescent glow to it that always catches my eye.

I no longer use that. I use a product called reef primer after seeing what Adam at BC said about it and also the success at tsa has seen with it. I follow the instructions on the bottle.
Ingredients are listed as "potassium salts" so gotta be close.Oh okayI'll need to get a bottle of that now... are there any similarities with potassium chloride?
