Mammoth Nano SPS Reef

I just dosed chemiclean in my tank for some cyano I had and also some random VERY slow STN in my wild colonies. I am hoping this will help not only the cyano but stop that STN as I believe it is bacterial. I forget, did you add any bacteria back into your tank after the chemiclean or not?

Nothing from a bottle, but I did source some live rock that I believe helped. It was added about a month after treatment.

Got my hands on a few scrapings of browned out ARC Fireworks. They have since colored up and are thinking about throwing out a branch.

Just stumbled across your thread and Your pictures are phenomenal! I looked through quite a few pages and could not see where you or if you stated your camera setup? Curious what it may be?

I use a Nikon D750 with a Tamron 90mm VC macro lens (F017). See more detail at post 231, thanks!

This specific colony has taken many many months to show any color other than the deep burgundy/brown. I think that might be part of it. They're very finicky and require patience at times.

I have had mine for 3 plus years and it’s finally not a brown turd

I'm doing better than you, mine took ONLY 10 mos!

A month of growth on this one spurned me to change up my flow. The undertow from the MP40s has caused a discernible growth pattern and the bases in similar frags refuse to encrust on the side receiving the laminar current. I'm trying a pulse setting now and will hope for more symmetrical growth in the future. Maybe some less encrusting too!

Nice collection and growth! pics are amazing as well!

One of my favorites. Had to clip this one and move away from the ever encrusting BC Belicose as it was beginning to cover the foundation tissue. I was a bit nervous to do so and kept putting it off, but it hasn't missed a beat since. A few locals inherited some nice frags in the aftermath.

I rescued this frag at the beginning of the year. It had almost no polyp extension, burned tips and was browned out entirely. It's fun to watch the improving transformation.

Lovely!!

A tough one to photograph properly, but it is really quite unique with the bright peach skin and dark green polyps.

This guy is true to the reputation of a good grower so far. This pic is a month after the shot a few posts above.
