Some My SPS - back from the dead

[afamousjohnson]

Since the site will be down tomorrow and the wife is out at grad celebrations on the town decided to clean the glass for the 2nd time since crash months back and snap some pics. Only cleaned a pic strip along the sps rack.lol but looks good in there.
A few of these pieces are new added after swap season to restock and help from friends. There is a good amount of whats there that has kicked back from nothing from the crash and looking like something. Was stoked I was able to save some frags of a portion of my babies. Now I just need to get them out of this dirty holding tank and cleaned up for growing.

More to come.

Getting color back and actually seeing a lot of growth. Seems all ya need to bring something back with is 1 polyp saved.
Try and get a few single shots up also.

What did you change or do so they come back that nice?!

 

[afamousjohnson]

hey thanks aaron

You got some fine lookin sps!

 

[afamousjohnson]

What did you change or do so they come back that nice?!

The change was a tank cross over that went bad and was actually the reason I almost lost all my sps.
There is a better alk stability with my cal rx as I dial it in better - so stability seems to be the cure.
My po4 is also high which is what I contribute the bright color to. Like having it around 1

Thanks Neil! Been looking pretty good over here. It's funny I have had a lot of reefing friends stop thru that saw her at her worst a few months back and they have all said the same thing...
"What the heck - how do you go from literaly killing all your corals to this in just a couple months. While my tank has no color"
My answer is always the same - its attention to them and time. Along with all the rest of the jazz.

The Prometheus is doing great also - you have the 1st frag coming to you if u havent aquired it yet by than. I also have multiple yellow tip frags doing awesome so if you like that 1 let me know and I will save 1 you can have. Just like the WWC yellow tip or JF yellow tip except it's the AFJ yellow tip.lol because picked up as a random non colored off a box order a while back that turned into a beaut - there are a couple of those frags in the 1st pic of frags but it doesnt show it's true yellow - hard color to pick up on the phone.
