Today was the big day. Monti frag day! Since I am in this hobby the owner of the fish store I always go to became a good friend of my. So sometimes I help a little bit in the store. So somewere around summer a big shipping was coming. And I was going to help my friend while unboxing we found a simple red montiplate broken in pieces. At the end of the day a got my 'salary' a small bucket around 30ml big, in there was a piece of the monti as big as your pointing fingers nail.
Well around that time my tank was quiet empty so just for the fun I attached the montiplate. I thought it would die for sure but I gave him a chance. After a few weeks it was growing fast! Now at this moment it is the fastest growing coral I have in my tank I gues. It's almost the size of a pizza. But as you know. Corals can get to big... it grow against two other corals so I had to break it apart. So I broke it in pieces and created a new smaller colony. Tomorrow I will post a picture of the new situation. But here the old situation.

Finally I finished the upgrade for my sump. I've created a panel for all my controllers. And because of that I could end the giant disaster of cables running everywere. Now It's looking nice and organized. I also created surface flow in all the parts of my sump. Before I had a small pump hanging in each compartment else there would form a layer of bubbles on the surface. Now I've stopt that problem also my microbubbles are gone in my display tank. And I also bought a carbon filter. It's a small multi reactor from aquamedic. But I am very happy with it. It's very easy to clean you just take out the center cilinder. So you don't have to take out the whole pump. And you can also use it for other things like po4 filter ore other filter media. In one word happy with this small investment.
Here you can see the new situation. You can see the old a few messages backwards.
In the back at the right behind the flow switch you can see the reactor. Any questions about it? Let me know.
