Great to hear your Tamarin is off it a good start in it's new home. Looking great:)

I'm glad too especially from all the things I have read about them.
 
I was actually really lucky with my tang. It cleared up all the bryopsis. So I haven't had the need to dose fluconazole. But I guess I'm glad I have it in the case it comes back ;)

A few frags I got from two days ago. Some of them were browning on the side since these came from huge colonies and the light wasn't hitting certain parts of the colony but I was compensated with the size of the frags. The Hawkins isn't doing really well bc of the dip but I've never had the best of luck with certain smooth skinned acros. I guess we will see if it makes it.

How do you like the sump? I have the same one and have noticed a lot of salt creep around the cover for the filter sock holder

I actually don't have any there but I have salt creep by my skimmer because of my skimmer lol. Overall I really do like the sump but I don't use the ato container so it seems like wasted space to be honest.
 
Nice progress. I skimmed through the thread and glad you shared.

I have a question, the rocks - were they your old dry reef rock or did you buy them? I ask because I have plenty of dry reef rock from a 9 yr old thank. I am concern with unwanted algae growth just because they're not live rock

Well I'm glad you read through the thread. Ask away!! But I actually just used Marco dry rock. Never even rinsed it lol, I just shook it off. Idk what the rocks look like that you have but I would definitely soak them in vinegar at the very least. But if you can cure your rock that's definitely the best option.
 
After 9 yrs sitting in the old tank they're as dry and you can get :). Yes will be curing for sure. THX

Wondering how these will grow out along with others you have already. Seems like it'll be a jungle soon ;)
