I am noticing some color coming back. This guy really caught my eye last night.

I run a lot of flow in general, but try to keep it all indirect. This is pretty easy to achieve with bare bottom. I've been messing with my Tunzes more lately. They are the pulse kings.
I haven't tested par in a bit. But most likely around 350. It gets a lot of white light and being a rainbow tenuis, it usually looks pretty bland during the day. I can see much more pink now though in the flesh.
Under whites.

Some shots I just took. You can really see just how much bubble algae liked all that extra po4! I have been very lazy about dealing with this. I figure now it shouldn't grow so much and I'll just have to chip away at it with manual removal.
I've got some pesty SPS I'm gonna have to deal with. I already let a small piece of rogue Red Monti grow enough to kill my Orange Passion. That giant birdsnest will have to be dealt with soon. The encrusting montis are going to be a giant PITA eventually. There's a Green Pocillopora as well that I need to destroy. I took the main colony out a while ago and threw it in the frag, but left a tiny nub that is now a small colony. Don't be lazy like me.

The orange and green one(forget its name) seems to be overtaking the superman so far.

Right time, right spectrum!!! I can only see these colors around this time of evening and they are especially noticeable top down with a decent camera. This is a no name wild acro I got from a local friend. This is a bland looking tenuis for the better part of my photo period. In it's defense, it has very slowly been coloring up over the last 8 months or so. So perhaps it's just now starting to show it's true colors. But definitely only under blues...
I still have tons of bubble algae.
