2KS2K Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Starting to encrust over the glue! Nothing changed on my end! Seems happy so far I really need to invest in a lens filter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylorhardy1 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Mines doing okay in spite of my ongoing algae/bacteria battles. Encrusting a bit, not enough upward growth to justify a picture, BUT its started throwing a couple new little branches.

J-Dog Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Happy and healthy! Starting to see the “Superman” blue on the encrusting growth. Excited to see how this piece turns out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obrien.david.j Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) OBrien CNC Superman, Check-in: July 6 Still not sprinting for me. Currently working on increasing Nitrates in my system slightly.

Tandor69 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Here is my July photo. Frag has lost almost all color, but it’s not bleached. Still has some polyp extension so all hope is not lost. I’m upping my nutrients in hopes for a recovery. No noticeable growth. Crappy pic but I am just starting to learn how to use my new camera and need editing software. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I'm out. The photo I posted on June 30 showed a bit of algae growing on the top of my frag, and after returning home from the weekend holiday, I saw a lot of tissue loss. Today I found the frag completely dead. Something is going on with my tank, but I'm not sure yet what's wrong. I lost a lot of my WWC Yellow Tips last month, and now this frag. Parameters all look fine, including an ICP test I ran a couple weeks ago. I'm keeping a close eye on everything for any signs of new problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure...just rub salt in my wound...I lost my growout frag, my Oregon tort, most of my WWC Yellow Tips, most of my CNC wild acro, half of my Mad Mike's Tri Color, and now I'm seeing damage starting on a Garf Bonsai. I still have no idea what's causing it. Sending a sample to Eli for microbiome analysis next. At least yours is looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Pretty sure it's still dead as last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Fully encrusted the epoxy and starting to encrust the plug not a lot of polyp extension on the deck tho- this is my daylight pic Hey Jorge- how come you haven’t booted anyone yet for not following the directions- just curious and not minding these days, I’m just getting old I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m predicting Holly wins this- probably fitting maybe some form of redemption since she usually kills all the other acros she’s ever grown- not quickly mind you so there is time for her This is so unprecedented I expected her to keep the status quo and kill it like normal- strange times...... strange times Woot woot for Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
