Nice! Keep us updated. How about a picture with the day lights.My tank is doing well. I started doings amino acid once daily about two months ago. See pic below for brand:
I have been traveling for work a lot lately and had my father watching my tank. I gave him strict instructions about dosing the amino acids. Telling him to only use 1 drop each day. I came home from my trip to find that I had a hair algae out break on the sand. I asked if he added one drop or if he had dosed a complete dropper full. He is sticking to his guns and saying one drop, but i think he did a complete dropper full. Either way i got 2 conchs and they have cleaned up the sandbed.
For some reason I cannot keep sps to save my life, but the soft corals are flourishing. I tried keeping a nem and it died after 1 month. I fed him and he seemed happy, but my clowns never paired with it.
I still have some hair algae growing on my rock so i am going to cut back on my aminos to once per week and see how it goes. Below are some pics that I took tonight.
Looks like that coral ate a crab in the last photo.These pics are still kind of blue because the lights are ramping down. I have had a self induced issue of late. I decided to bring my dkh up to a higher level so maybe, just maybe I could keep SPS in this tank with all of my LPS. What resulted was very happy SPS and extremely unhappy Acans and Lobo. I finally said screw it and will just live with the LPS. It's not worth risking the majority of my livestock to make a few frags happy.
It was at 7. I raised it to 8.5 over the course of 2 weeks. I noticed a huge improvement in my montis but saw a sharp decline in my Acans. My frogspawns were doing well. I have found them to be extremely sensitive to changes in alk. So that is a head scratcher to me. I also have a 30 gal so everything happens quickly, which can be a problem for sps since maintaining stability (chemistry) is so important.
I think that was the molt. I have seen the crab since then lol.
