My Acro collection/ Lagoon

[Perry]

This piece was brown, brown, brown, forever... Several months back I noticed RB's on this piece, which led me to treat with interceptor. Here is what this acro is now doing. Something of the oddball sort, but a peachy tone with some really nice tips showing up.

BC Toast of London which has yellow and green, a few other hues as well. It's battling at the encrust line with the BC Sunflower Spath, the result is tissue mingling and folding upon one another. Could the blue ruffled tissue offer a morph? Upper right corner for reference.

Pearlberry continues to become a large colony, the color is quite captivating in person, especially with top down viewing...

BC Battlegum is quite beautiful, it's different from my old Sniper SPS Bubblegum, but starting to finally pop branches. The cone shaped branches and stubbiness of the coral make it show worthy for sure.

The TGC Bugatti is the fastest growing smoothie in my system, which is a bonus! This is likely the same coral as LRO Buzz Lightyear.

Just messing around with the new Flupper top down view box, so far I love it!!!

Yes indeed, it's a staple yellow, and such a pretty coral fully colored.

Not bad looking either, and that's under t5 full spectrum, when it goes to straight blue, mind numbing, lol...

LFS in Daytona.
Got his last one, he said they are back ordered, Mayne sealing the deal, lol, I wanted it, he had the dang eshopps overflow kit too. Man, start to finish one weekend, lol...
I was hustling
Any LFS that orders from Central Pet should be able to get it. Anyway, totally stoked. One tank t5 lit, other led only. I am brave, just moved my JD over...
"Sketch the Serial Killer" (Arc Eye Hawk) now has a tank to himself, after 3 months in a 20 gallon, lol...

Thank you very much!!!
P04 bottomed out recently, need more fish! Now I added 50 more gall9ns of water, in hopes that my skimmer doesn't continue to destroy the water column, lol...
N03 is lowish at around 4-7ppm
P04=0.00 This still despite adding 4ml of seachem phosphorus and feeding 10 fish 2-3 times per day.
Properly run BB system works well, maybe too well.

PH chasers,
Nothing like having another tank running, in separate room, with the exact opposite light schedule...
Still in detailed observation mode, but already seeing interesting results.
Also, I was using SR Aquaristic kalkwasser, switched to ESV, and saw .1 ph increase, as well as taking 20ml of esv 2 part offline, and....taking an interval of 375ml out, from 18 x15 minute intervals to 17.
In fairness, the SR Aquaristic kalkwasser was about 4-5 years old, and my cheap butt wanted to work it out. So likely it lost it's concentration.
Before- 8.0 low and 8.3 high
After- 8.1 low and 8.4 high

As the corals settle, begin growing in the low boy, and as corraline seeds, I am certain the low to high gap will shrink, hopefully none.

PH is far more important than I ever believed! So is P04.
Keeping an open mind is of course the most important aspect of reefing!!!
