Mellow

Tank finally settling down again 3 weeks after disaster. Though I notice the pink bird of paradise seems to be the only coral still suffering the aftermath. Finally got hold of those mini rbta at aquamarin yesterday. Apparently it doesn't get too big. Nicely settled in that spot since introduction. Hope it stays. A tad too near this galaxy monti frag from a bro, but oh well... No more real estate anyway

What a beautiful tank!!! Very nice!!

Nice wild sps (only a few pieces left), yellowish orange hammer and and many small to medium croceas spotted at iwarna this afternoon. I think those sps are from OZ. Croceas are pretty affordable and small quite nice colours too. Thought I saw a few echinata and giant turbinarias too.

Just back from aquamarin: -Small yellow tangs -Chromis - Assorted wrasses - Banggai cardinals -Sexy shrimps -Chromis -Many captive bred 20cent size rbta similar to the kind in their mix reef tank. Very cute, good colours and reasonably priced. But accept cash only for that. -Many nice aquacultured acros, digitata, monti, pocci, birdnest etc -Elegance -Hammer -Assorted Mushrooms That's all I remember as I was in a rush. Happy reefing.

Thanks angel keeper and oceanviper. Shall take it as a fresh beginning Taking stock again this morning and didn't seem as bad as I felt yesterday after all.

And final, a highly trimmed green digi as well Whig thankfully still looks lush

Another previously shaded green stag finally seeing light

See how the orange digi encrusted onto the green digi and the small remaining radioactive birdnest encrusted onto the light blue stag

Remaining lime green slimer taking over original position of the radioactive birdnest

The gaping hole left after removing a chunk of the orange digi. Left with two small pieces on 2 sides

The cleaned up look fts

Silhouette of the tank with noticeably lesser sps. Shall update more tomorrow after I recover from the back breaking clean up.

Aftermath after cleaning up sand bed and the many small unsightly loose pieces on sand bed. Decided to save a small piece of the lime green slimer for myself only and plugged it somewhere at bottom right. Shall take more pictures in full light tomorrow coz by the time I was done, all the lights were off.

Start of domino when only the lime green stag and birdnest were down.

And the lime green bali slimer. Notice the orange monti cap which has not yet been taken down

Didn't capture the radioactive birdnest which was already removed. The pile of orange digi rubble on the bottom right. Thankfully still have remnant attached to my base rock

There must have been at least one and a half football size of sps removed today and probably weighed almost a kg in total. Panic and was really sian to leave everything lying on the sand bed and decided to give away to a friend willing to adopt them. This was just the orange digi removed.

One of my biggest fear in this hobby materialised today. Not a tank leak. Not a chiller break down Not a power shut off Decided to finally frag some of my over grown sps and while trying to break off my lime green bali slimer, it set of a domino effect. As the slimer was encrusted onto my radioactive birdnest, it went down with it. As my radioactive birdnest was encrusted onto my orange digi, my orange digi went down with it. As my orange digi was encrusted with my light blue stag, Part of it also gone. And finally, as my light blue stag was near my orange monti cap,...you've guessed it. Partially gone too. On a brighter note, I think it's perfect excuse to clear my tank of some space

Almost forgot about this super purple encrusing monti monti many many months back. Been spreading across the live rocks but definitely lost that very deep royal purple hue. Now just look like corraline algae. Haha.

Turning a bit darker/bronwer in the centre parts. Polyp extensions has improved a little though

Noticed the polyp of this long time resident also turned green in the inner parts. Usually is blue polyps. Initially when I first noticed it, thought I got AEFW again.

and here's the birdnest which were affected by my low dKH incident. Only the birdnest were affected somehow and the green one also had little bald patches around it in addition to it turning white below.

Thanks bro for the complimentary galaxy monti frag early. Here it is in my tank now. Nice big cube tank you've got. Finally seeing you again after so many years. Haha. great catch up btw.
