I just snagged some different yellow zoas from Cultivated Reef and Legendary Corals. King Midas, Sunny D's, Scrambled Eggs, Blondies, Tutti Fruity... Maybe another I'm forgetting lol. Some great sales going on!

Oh, you guys have a lot less selection, bummer!

 

I definitely agree on the 30+ per polyp lol.

Welp so this whole time ive been using sand that was not good. Grains too large allowing algae to dig their spores in deep and all kinds of nasty stuff get trapped in it... soooo it is time to enter the realm of bare bottom reefing (somebody pray for me) maybe ill carpet the floor with green star polyp for compensation... (background story... been ripping out wads of hair algae from my substrate for at least an hour a day and next day... its back. Dang satan spawn) XD there are solutions for everything the bare bottoming will occur tomorrow... now to figure out how to stand up frag plugs ????

I usually snip the stems off frag plugs to sit on the bottom. I'd suggest looking for a small magnetic frag rack too if you need something temporary for ones you have trouble with the plugs.

Well heres an FTS post todays cleanup water change... also im trying out a higher area for my hammer. I was previously worried about him stinging my sps butttt hes about a 3 inch perimeter around him... plus he might be too busy fighting off my gsp

 

Stuck a tiny frag of xenia on the top right back side of the glass XD lets see what happens.

Day 3 of bare bottom and im impressed with the lack of algae on the glass and on the live rock, i think my sandbed was producing too much nitratea and the sandbed algae was spreading like wildfire, i was also forced to clean the glass every day... havent seen a spec of anything since...
