Took a FTS earlier... backed my lights down to 60%, I need to test but I'm pretty sure we're ULNS and almost out of phyto. A few corals are looking pale, but not bad. The lobo is knocking on death's door. It hasn't been doing well for a long time. Wild colonies...
Oh yea, everything looks different... lol. I tried making a tunnel with 3/4" PVC going under the rocks and up to the bottom of the skull. Not a good diea, the rocks were unstable but the skull looked good and the tunnel was neat. We kinda need rocks that won't fall over tho. This scape works, and the skull is actually kinda flat on the rock. Maui was in it earlier today, but he spends most of the time digging under the rocks. I spaced the corals out a little better too so they have some growing room.
Speaking of the skull, we bleached and actually had part of the cyphastrea die back.
I removed it from the skull and set it on the frag rack and this is what happened.
The dead spot is still there, but holy polyp extension Batman. Oh and we found a name for it, its Blue Meteor Shower.

I'm thinking its a bottom of the tank over in some shade kind of coral. Seems to like being out of the light.
The Project X comes tomorrow, and I had him cut a birds of paradise for me too. Maybe we can keep from bleaching these?
