Weird.....since nothing else (even other acros) have this issue. The meteor shower cyphastrea is growing like crazy! The purple haze monti is growing well and I think my new plating monti's are getting ready to grow (I see a white rime now). Hope things turn around for the Cali tort, I still got a few frags left on my rack. If it continues, clip off the burnt tip to prevent it from becoming full blown TN. Check your alk and/or nutrient level. do you plan on going to Lansing swap? Maybe we can meet up there? I can bring u another one if you need it. Quote Link to comment
--chris-- Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Cali tort is Cali toast. Everything else is encrusting and growing but the Cali didn’t like something. i won’t be among it to Lansing, we have a hockey tourney that weekend...maybe next year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

You mentioned algae took over the tips, was that where it began? Quote Link to comment
--chris-- Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yes, it looked like what people described as burnt tips then it faded over a few weeks and RTN'd in a day. Alk has been within a 0.5 window (around 8.5 dkh) as well. I think it might have been the light? I had the UV channel cranked up, a few other corals looked unhappy so I backed it off ~30% and since everything has been much happier looking. Thats my guess anyway. Light shock (?) then it never recovered. Quote Link to comment

--chris-- Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 The location of the tank makes using a tripod tricky, so here are more handheld shots. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nearly doubled in quantity since I got them from you! The cornbread rainbows are also very happy, I had 4 polyps initially, now I have nearly double that. The rasta's too are growing quickly. The SPS are doing ok, the monti's are very happy and growing quickly. The Acro's, well they are "ok". The neon green acro is always happy and is encrusting quite a bit. The dark green acros (above) is also happy and encrusting but the blue tort didn't work out and now one of the other acros is STN'ing. 1 Quote Link to comment

The current owner tried to buff out several scratches and hazed up the glass real good. the tank comes with one of those pro polishing kits. If you zoom in you can see the damage. What say ye forum members? Is it beyond repair? when It’s filled with water the scratches kind of disappear....but not enough. hey, in my pm yesterday or the day before, I was wondering if this thing is still sitting around in your garage...I know it's been over a year, but this hobby has the tendency to make a hourder out of anyone 😄 .
