i am sorry for the quality i am not a very good picture taker with a smartphone so some are a little blurry i did my best

to get them but the phone was detecting the stuff floating in the water where i had just cleaned the tank which is why

some of the coral are not as open as normal. I did manage to get a great shot of the blue magoo paly.

Here are some pics of the rock work showing all the pass throughs both between and under the structure.

I almost forgot but did find a few pieces of bubble algae that had hitched in on the coral and have since removed them without popping them

The Bubble Algae came back a second time on same coral that they hitched in on will continue to observe and manually remove as necessary to prevent spread to rest of tank. I have dipped after each removal just in case I missed something.

Parameters continue to stay low of course i do not have any fish on inverts right now just coral and so the only influx of nutrients is the broadcast feeding for the corals.

On the topic of inverts and fish I will be adding a few inverts at a time to build up CuC as I add 1 fish at a time. This should help the low nutrients situation.

Most of the coral have wonderful colors and are growing fast.

Pics to follow.

Bit of a photo dump but took several pics of each coral in an attempt to get clear pics and unfortunately the issue I have had when posting previous is they look great on my phone then blurry on the pc.

Well how time flies haven't even realized it had been 2 months since last post but as for tank it has mostly been in a
holding pattern as due to a temporary promotion at work I was to busy to really do anything with it so no new
problems no new additions.

The coral are mostly growing well and very vivid.

I still have the brown algae from before around but it is only here or there and not trying to overtake the tank.

In the last 2 months the GHA went away to be replaced by a couple new comers.

1 looks like it is a green turf algae.

The other honestly looks like a rock covering sponge.

Today is the first time in awhile I've had to really investigate what issues I might currently have in the tank.

Algae that persists but is not trying to overgrow my coral.

Found a single aiptasia last week near a coral appears to have been on its plug when it came in hit it with Aiptasia X today.

I also spotted today a couple pieces of bubble algae hiding so I got to try and remove without bursting them.

Will be doing a lot of testing and cleaning on the tank this week as I only work Thursday.

Once I finish catching the tank up I will Post some Pics of the coral as most have flourished.

I did lose one of the corals early on it just did not take to my tank and another I think is due a change of scenery as it is the only healthy one not fully extending.
