No real updates, prior to my vacation my parameters dropped crazy. I finally got it to stabilize today but will continue to monitor and adjust. Forgot once frags turn into colonies they consume crazy amounts of alkalinity and calcium.

I have new photos but need to edit before I can upload.

Accidentially fragged the tip when trying to remove it from the plug, but looking at it today its grown back.

This digi has definitely grown!

Will continue tomorrow, so much work with the frag tank I'm planning to impliment soon.

That would be the Reef Tech Starburst Cap, very beautiful piece.

I'm running the ATI Powermodule 6x39w fixture. 4 Blues Plus, 1 Purple Plus, and 1 Aquablue Special. I believe in T5s but wouldn't mind removing 2 channels for LEDs. We'll see later on.

Hey Eric what montipora digitata is that with green base blue tips? Very nice! By the way the ReefTech likes you reef, great color!

Thank you, the Digi is Reefers On A Budget (ROAB) Digi. Has green polyps with a purple undertone.

ATL Christmas Mirabelas, had to capture that green but its also still coloring up.

I saw that you were concerned about possible AEFW in one of your posts. Didnt really see the signs of them, but in this pic I can see Red Bugs. Way better of a problem to have though. just FYI

No, not me. Just red bugs but they don't seem to be bothering the SPS at all. I'll get some wrasses once I set up my frag tank so they will control them. I did interceptor once and they went away but in this hobby with all the trading and buying, you'll get it regardless unless your really diligent with QT.

Looks like I know what I'll be doing the next few days, cleaning the tank and taking pictures.

I recently took the bio-pellets offline but have since turned them back on till I can figure out how to use vinager dosing correctly. Some of the SPS have faded, also picked up a bottle of MB7 and will be using that as well.
