Plus he stayed still long enough for me to take a bunch of pics and pick the best one. 13 minutes ago, Dirté Sanchez said: I love my blennies so much!! I sure miss El Diablo. He's such a badass fish. I'm so glad I'm having much better luck with this one. I had one over a year ago and he was sick from when I had gotten him. 5 Quote Link to comment

You need to call Ghost Hunters and have an exorcism??? 5 Quote Link to comment

Thanks buddy 😊. Maintenance is water change every other week. Once a week if it seems like something is wrong. Lights are on par for what we talked about. I've got about another 2 weeks on acclimate mode. The bubble gum digis have slowly colored up. They aren't brown anymore but more of a purple? Hard to tell but not like they are browned out. Lights are peaking for 7 hours now instead of only 4. I'm about due to add another half hour. 17 hours ago, Dirté Sanchez said: I'm highly concerned about the ghost in the background of the third picture. Can we speak to that??

That was the perfect spot you suggested a long time ago. It's working out so well. I need more corals up top of the rock now. Looks like I'm gonna be starting to get acros 😬. Still seriously concerned but I'll be starting with something super cheap. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

One year later yup That is probably my favorite spot in my tank thanks to that solid idea. I would've never thought to combine them all. I think I like it the most because once they opened fully it looks like one coral to the untrained eye. Also if they start to pull in I know something is a miss with the water. Usually my p04 drops to zero and they shrivel up. Still battling that and I still have to get some phosphate in a bottle but I've managed to keep it in check. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Ok drumroll please............. I present my first acros? Maybe a milli? I honestly have no idea what they are exactly but I'mma try not to kill them. Hope the pics look ok. I felt I needed some green up at the top so these are what I got. So if any of you sps buffs know what they are let me know. And best part is they aren't booger sized either. 5 Quote Link to comment
