hi, I do a clean every 2-3 days with a magnet. But I'll scrape the edges with a blade every 1-2 weeks. Thanks for your compliments. Glad u like the pictures

Noticed one of my sps colony's polyp hasn't been opening up as much lately and did some tests last week. Parameters:

Cal: 380

dKH: 8.6

Mg: 1260

PO4: undetectable

NO3: undetectable

Suspect it could be a combination of low calcium and magnesium, in addition to the sps touching each other a fair bit my tank.

Took some steps over the weekend including adjusting parameters and doing some pruning. Parameters as of today:

Cal: 435

dKH: 9.0

Mg: 1320

PO4: undetectable

NO3: undetectable

Also saying hello again to my best reefing friend. Red slime!!!!

Looks like I need to get another circulating pump as I'm not inclined to use red slime remover which affected some of my montis

On a brighter note, I found this clam over the weekend.

And a rapidly spreading green star polyps over the glass. Does anyone know if it consumes calcium and carbonates? May need to control its growth if it does since I'm depleting a gallon of C Balance almost once a month

Wow bro, very nice growth of gsp on the wall. Im hoping to get the same results, just pasted a few on my tank wall. Unfortunately, not sure if it consumes calcium n carbonate. My guess would be yes, but in a very small negligible amount as it doesn't have a hard skeleton structure unlike sps. Any pros can advise, would like to know as well. Cheers!

Love this RGB sps lined up together. Noticed a spurt in growth for the blue stag but the orange digi polyp extension has been not that good of late

The not so good orange digi polyp extension lately. Bu funnily it is still growing quite quickly. Hope I see more orange soon!

This green stag somehow doesn't grow upwards as I hoped it would but keep having new branches. It has to contend with a fair bit of warfare with neighbouring orange monti though. I fear that this is the beginning of the end.

Got a moorish idol recently though I know odds are against me to get it to feed. Hope it eats soon. Only noticed it pecking on the rocks currently

Long nose hawk

Xenia attempt. So interesting to see it pumping furiously away. Hope it spreads!

Very nice and matured reef tank , just a question,can see the corals are very close to each others,don't they burn the weaker one?

[Mellow]

Thanks guys!

hey bro, yup, in fact a lot of them are touching each other already and the weaker ones are sustaining burns. Most notably, the orange digi and the montis which seem to lose to the acroporas

[Siowaro]

I c... When this burn happen. What should we do?

actually most people would frag them before they touch each other or when they get burnt since that part would likely die off.

For my case, I'll just leave it and usually the burnt part would die and the stronger sps would encrust over the dead part. Other than that, things seem quite fine.

But might have to look out for mucus for the burnt corals and try to blow them away

[Siowaro]

Thank u bro, learn something important.

Your aquarium is absolutely gorgeous. I love the sps, growth and how your gsp is growing up the side of the tank. Amazing!

Sharing some pictures of interesting fishes at the aquarium in Bergen, Norway.

Their propagation tank on display too. Very nice polyp extension of the purple monti digi
