I haven't gotten a chance to take too many pics this year yet with the long honey-do list my wife put together for me... It always starts this way with a bunch of 2019 resolutions but she'll wear herself out and life will get back to normal soon.
I can at least update on the tank. I can't remember if I mentioned but got a huge dino outbreak after removing the sand from the frag tank. Its almost entirely gone now but it was interesting to see the acros look less happy when it was there. Still have some green cyano but I'm aiming to let it take care of itself as my system balances back out again.
I've ripped out my giant ORA Chips, giant Frag Farmers Red Robin Stag, large Nicks purple passion, and a few smaller pieces to make room for some new pieces that are ready to be added to the display. Right now it kind of looks like a construction zone.
I've finally moved my Baton Rouge down to a lower par and it already looks better. A deep blood red is coming in nicely on it. Better than when it was getting roasted by 450 par. Its at 200-250 now.
I've added an anemone frag tank and its up and running. Once it gets through the ugly phase, I'll share my work on it.
Nitrates jumped to 50ppm... Yup... That's not a typo... So I guess I'll be putting my biopellets back online. I started it back up a couple weeks ago.
Otherwise, everything is chugging along. Color is amazingly deep and growth is probably at its best I've seen in awhile.
Couldn't leave you guys without a picture so here. My confused clown in my Aussie gold torch. He has a perfectly good Colorado Sunburst anemone but liked to hang out here until the wife needs him. I guesd the gold torch is like his fish room.
