So it's been a while since updated this thread. I ended up staying in the hobby after my tank disaster. A few of my fellow NJRC members gave me a few frags to get me back into things again. I just want to say thank you guys.

I ended up doing something different I stopped using artificial salt I'm actually using NSW from the ocean of Atlantic City , Nj. So far I'm seeing good results. I have polyp extension on all my corals. Which before only certain ones opened. Haven't noticed anything else so far it's my 3rd time doing the water change using NSW.

Glad to hear things are going well for you jose.

I'm really glad I stayed in. The tank is starting to flourish.

Old tread, well kinda, and I don't mean to bring up bad memories but in your pic of the old frags you have a little one that looks like a mini blob(11 of 17) on the app it kind of looks like a little jelly blob, do you remember what it was? The little guy on top

That was a Blue Ridge Heliopora.

Thanks h8z2luze. Yeah I came real close of getting out. But no one was buying my livestock. So I decided to give it a 3rd try. With the contributions of my local reef club I'm back and running again. I did a few purchases as well. The tank Is thriving now. I have to take a pic and post it.

 

[h8z2luze]

I like it, there is so much you can do with that rock scape

 

[jose7878]

Had a little misfortune last night. My zip ties that were holding up my rock scape some of them dried out and broke. So my left side of my rock scape came tumbling down. So was forced to rescape the left side of the tank.

This weekend I'll be attacking the right side.

Sorry to hear that jose. Looks great though man.
