Some pics of my tank after I had a crash a month and a half ago. I lost 8 pieces of SPS including my loved pink birdsnest. The tank is rebounding well, the rest of my SPS except for two pieces have come back strong. Still doing all I can and hopeing the other two continue to thrive. Still battling with the alk and pH, going to invest in a calc reactor with the tax refund. Take a look and any comments are welcome. Have a great day or night!
1; rose millipora, tank crash didn't even phase him
2; Red Formosa, tenuis, and monti cap that started out the size of a nickle 4 mnths ago
3; trying to start a ricordia garden. Should have gotten a pic of the green one at the bottom. next time then.

1&2; newest SPS, A. secale. Camera is junk and won't focus on it well but you get the idea, the polyps look like little stars under the actinics.
3; red sea mimic blenny hanging in his green monti cap. Again camera issue I do apologize.

Ohioguy, thanks for the props. I was looking at pics today and am going to put together pics from the start of the tank till it's first b-day at the end of next month. The progression is very interesting to see where it was to where it is now. thanks again and good luck with yours.
P.S. I wish I had a tank big enough for a Sohal, I love them!

Stontium and molybedenum every 4 days. I use Tropic Marin bio calcium when needed. dKH buffer or Marine 8.3 buffer when needed. I use Tropic Marin salt, I found it to be the most stable parameter wise for me. I stated out using Kent salt and like that as well.

One more from the mimic blenny, she loves to hang on my polyps now. Catch her doing it quite a bit. Love the blennies they have so much personality.

Cowfishrule, No he is my newest inhabitant, been in the tank one week. he is doing very well and has eaten all of the nuisance mini feather dusters that were overtaking the left side of my tank. He also eats mysis, and prime reef cubes. None of the fish were effected by the crash oddly enough.
