AWillroth Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'll take another video with the lights on tomorrow. Everything is looking really good now. I was worried about moving but a week later everything in the tank looks even better than before. Added some birdsnest frags today. My only other sps is a little monti frag and I bleached it at first but it's coming back. The birdsnest seems polyped out already, after just a few hours in the tank. Link to comment

AWillroth Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 That sun coral I grabbed a few weeks ago is looking way better. Wish I had a way to take good pictures of it. Wouldn't open for about the first ten days and when it did it looked in bad shape, but I've gotten it eating every night and it's looking pretty good. Link to comment
AWillroth Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Here's a quick video with the hammer and also the sun coral is slightly open. Link to comment

AWillroth Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Loooong overdue update. Had a long and ugly battle with gha and cyano, local fish store closed down and I had to go 7 weeks without a water hcange before I could work out buying an ro filter and salt/mixing equipment. Now I'm on the other side of all of that, I think. I lost a couple of coral but everything I have left is looking great and exhibiting growth. Link to comment
