Update!
Haven't paid attention to my tank since October. Been busy with work and some other activities. I changed my rightmost rock a month ago I think - to make it higher.
I visited Blue Harbor in Japan just recently! Will post pictures of that trip on a separate post.
I have a runaway RBTA that escaped from a betta box (friend was asking me to take care of it for him) but the betta box fell. It landed right smack in the center of one of my rocks, and it's starting to sting the neighbors there. Haha.
Anyway, I finally got to really look at my tank for the first time in 2 months or so. The reason for that is - the cable company came to my house earlier today to take videos of my tank. They *might* broadcast it in the Aquarium Channel.
Bad things that have happened in the 2 months I haven't checked on my tank:
1. The doser was turned off! Yikes. Apparently my BM doser was stuck on the menu and it wasn't dosing for weeks! Luckily I haven't seen any major disasters except for some zoas which are only slightly open. Should recover in a few weeks.
2. I lost a couple of fish during a power outage while I was abroad.
3. My sump is dirty AF.
4. My tank is filled with coralline. Side walls are completely covered. I just scraped off all the coralline a few months ago!
5. My Radion has started acting up - the fans are very noisy.
6. My RBTAs (2 of them) are stinging the neighboring corals!
Good/Acceptable things that have happened in the 2 months I haven't checked on my tank:
1. The SPS are growing like crazy. In fact, most of them are already touching each other and stinging.
2. My sandbed has become cleaner for some reason! It is really clean except for a spot here and there.
3. The fishes are still alive despite being fed erratically. Sometimes just twice a week.
While the cable guys were shooting their video, I took a few snapshots. They covered the back glass with black cloth, so I took the opportunity to see what my tank would look like with black background. Also, they added some extra spotlights towards the tank, which illuminated the tank itself a bit more.:
