Looking good man. Jealous of the acros, I haven't been able to get any going in a long time.

 

[bribo12]

Yeah man I’m on my parameters like a hawk! They’re both looking good, the yellow tips browned a bit from shipping but it’s getting its color back now. Can’t wait til it actually gets the yellow tips

 

[Autumnsky]

Congrats on getting this pulled together nicely.

Some new additions

Red planet, green birdsnest, oxide zoas
I got daisy dukes and capt americas too but those pics were bad lol

 

[bribo12]

Some updates!
Corals are doing well. Red blanket browned out somewhat but the color wasn’t great when I got it in, polyp extension is still good and it’s growing like crazy already so it should color up. Most of my zoas have gotten new polyps as well. Ordered a tunze osmolator from brs as it was on sale and I had bday money . Also have a corals corals coming in tomorrow.

Nice pics!

New stuff, gsp is for the back of the tank

 

[Sniperhank]

A GSP back wall eh? I currently have some rastas that started going up the back wall at one point. They aren't going too far too fast though.

Growth shots

Timeframe is about a little over a month. Also seeing great growth on my vivid rainbow, bonsai, anacropora, and Stylo but hard to show it via pictures as I don’t have a good now shot vs then

Kinda been through the ringer this past month and a half. Tank got dinos and cyano, beat the small amount of dinos pretty quickly miraculously. However nitrate bottomed out combined with the cyano encroaching on my acros plus an alk spike caused them to bleach and go pale. I also lost a frag of zoas to cyano. All other sps that aren’t acros are doing fine as well as my lps and other softies. I’m beating the cyano now and the tank seems to be returning to normal so I’m hoping the acros recover.

Ouchie. That’s never fun man. [emoji853]

 

[Sniperhank]

Don't worry about it. As it stands, I have cyano in my tank currently as well.

 

[DRPAT]

Get a algae filter cyano is caused by an imbalance between nitrates and phosphate the algae filter will eventually restore the correct ratio and reduce the ppm of both.

Yep my nitrates bottomed out while my phosphates are around .15 which is the issue. I’ve resolved it now with wcs and dosing nitrate.

So sorry to hear of all the hardships of the tank. It is a huge stress. Glad you are getting it figured out. Before too long it will better.

 

[bribo12]

Well the aftermath. Lost a couple acro frags that had grown really well . However my tank looks great now. Cyanos gone, all corals except acros look great. I’ve seen a resurgence in micro fauna as well. Hopefully the nitrate dosing will help the acros and they can recover. I still have red planet, palette pink tip and hard bonsai. My hammer has fully split and gsp is growing on the back wall so things are looking good!

Even in your struggles you seem to come out of top bud. Still sounds like it is going well.

Yep definitely is and seeing polyps on some of the acros again which is great!
