started a jolt growout/backup in my frag tank and it was looking good so took a picture. Its so much easier to get good pictures in a frag tank.
Happy new year everyone
Happy reefing in 2022!

Thanks!
Unfortunately, i lost a lot of my larger colonies and some frags/grow outs during a power outage at the end of January (i think). I did learn a lot from it though, and made some adjustments to my back up plan, including a new larger, quieter generator and a wood stove will be installed this summer for back up heat.
So, i'm in a bit of a rebuilding phase while i grow out some new colonies. In the meantime i will share some of the newer acros that survived the outage or i recently acquired. Small, but some cool stuff i'm excited about.
CC Pink highligher update: It survived the outage, but it did have some STN on the colony and i cut the top off to try and save it. I dipped it the section with the STN and they both survived so now i have two grow outs. It seems to be growing well. under blues
a shame that most of those beautiful acro's are not availible in europe , are there no wholesale companies that would like to fill that hole in the market 
, i think there's some money to be made ....

Mostly a iodine based dip, Reef Dip by seachem, i was also using polyp labs reef primer some. I'm not sure if the pink highlighter got both (separately, not mixed together) or just the Reef Dip. I was trying everything i had i thought might help stop the STN, and i had a lot of colonies and frags that were impacted. It doesn't always work, which is why i cut the top off first to try to save some. In my opinion it is always worth a try to stop a possible bacterial infection. i try to always have some iodine based dip on hand. I also use it when i frag fleshy corals to try and prevent an infection.

RR USA Angry Birds
Two versions both sold as RR USA Angry Birds. I have heard a couple possible reasons for this, one theory is that RR USA lost the original then replaced it with a different one. The other is that TSA used to sell a different version than the one they do now. I don't know the truth of the matter and i suppose only RR USA or TSA does for sure but either way they are both very nice tenuis. can't wait for them to grow up. Keep in mind that i don't color them up as well as they do

What can I feed for corals like aminos and things like that without the phosphates and nitrates boosting so high

Every tank is different but I don’t find that amino acids or the coral vitalizer cause my nitrates or phosphates to be a problem. They are the only coral foods I feed. I think a lot of the phosphate in my system comes from fish food
