Old pic when I had my 300. My Red Sea Sailfin :).

Looks like you all had too much fun, maybe next year I can figure out a way to wander over for this

I ate too much turkey, but, before I ate turkey, I took these just because I could. My green birdsnest in the cube got a massive trimming, now I can see what is behind it.................lol. My two Bangai cardinals are not really thrilled about that, but I have to assume the thing will grow back, kinda like weeds in your driveway

Polyp extension is something that I really don't pay much attention to. In nature, SPS feed at night, so polyps will be there in the evening hours. All I really care about anymore is are they growing!! If they are growing and you are having problems keeping your alkalinity above 8 and your calcium above 400, then things are good............................lol. JMHO

These particular ones, since May of this year. Thank you

I'll think about it when the next frag swap comes around, I just hate fragging it, even tho it is so cheap. Thank you

For what I have been thru with this colony................................... you don't have enuf in your bank account :).

Clean that up, this is a family board

I have had this for a little over 7 years, I don't frag it much, but thanks. Lots of Blue Moon Belgian White for a frag of it........................................lol.

That is an original Oregon Blue Tort

Oh yeah, we got 3-4 inches last week and it really hasn't gone anywhere.....................lol.

All together draining into a 100 gallon sump. thank you

I usually do monthly pics of my tanks just because I can. So here we go, hope you enjoy. This will take 2 posts because my pics are too big, OOPS .

Good luck, and remember, nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank.

This is all a poke and hope idea, because you may not like the looks of the tank with the whites turned down. Alot of people I know running LEDs are primarily blue, and I am only speaking from what has worked for my experiences.

Just my opinion, but try maybe turning the whites down a little. Maybe 50%? Let's see if there is a difference with the algae?

IMO, a phosphate test kit really won't do you much good, it will probably show 0, but the phosphates are contained in the algae and won't read out. I think your tank is still cycling and time and patience will win out if you keep up your water changes. You could maybe do 2 water changes a week for a month and see where that gets you? Was the live rock dried rock and did you cure it before it went into the tank? All that bein said, what % are you running your lights at. In my experience, the higher you have the the whites, the more chance of nuisance algae appears. I run mostly blue on my Mars Aquas and have been pretty darn happy with the results. hope this helps

LOL..................... let's not go that far................................ :). But I do appreciate the welcome, believe me <3

Just let me know what you see in there, and let's see what we can do :). We might be able to find a way to get you something maybe next Spring or so? I do believe we were taking pics, were we not?

I am 20 miles from Glacier Natl. Park. Thank you for the compliments, I try

To be honest, I just never really wandered in there til a little later..............lol. If you hold this again next year I will definitely be back, that was a whole bunch of fun!!

Hello, Nice to meet you..........................lol

Couldn't figure out how to delete the quote, I only know enuf about computers to be dangerous :). Anyways, here's some pics of my 75 gallon refugium/frag tank/garbage disposal. this is lit with a 4 bulb T5 fixture, only 2 of the bulbs are working because I am too lazy to go down to Missoula to get replacement bulbs

Some one asked :).
