Took some top-down shots during a water change this weekend.

Mille worlds colliding




Pink jade


A new Mille I acquired. Started off as blue, changing more purple in my tank

Visited Unique Corals while I was in LA last week and picked up some jewels. I've had them in QT for a week now and I noticed today that my Pink Floyd was dying from the bottom up. No clue why, so I dipped him and his friends and put them in the DT, which has much better water quality and movement.

Pink Floyd with most of the dying base covered in glue. In the picture it looks like I didn't get the top line, but I'll keep an eye on it and reglue if it looks worse.


Hard to tell since the lights were turning off, but diagonally from the Pink Floyd to the back right is 1. Pink Floyd 2. UC Blue Ogor 3. UC Teal Tort and 4. Ultimate Blue Stag 5. To the right of the Pink Floyd is the UC Bali Shortcake

Tore out two of my larger colonies from my tank today. I'm running out of room and accumulating so many "high end" frags, some corals had to go. I bought the Two Guy Coral Inner Planet, Red Massacre Mille, TGC Event Horizon Mille, and s gold torch this week.

I tore out my red Mille



And I removed my GE Purple Orchid. That one didn't come out as nicely and is more of a jumble of branches now than a colony. New frags from Unique Coral and Two Guys Coral have been glued and I'm ready to start growing!

Maroon Lagoon V2.0

One of the corals I bought from AquaSD a couple months ago I bought because it looked like it had the potential to be a combination or blue, red, and green. AMAZING!!!

Well as corals directly from the ocean tend to do, it completely lost those colors and became a drab green with nice blue tips. Yeah it looked nice, but nothing special. Well tonight I was looking at it with actinics on, and it looks like red is starting to slowly reappear! Whoop! So pumped if this trend continues, it could be a real stunner if it does.


And here's my little collection of "high end" frags. Im currently in a stage of "high end" expansion for a better coral portfolio I just think they look pretty.

ORA says the ORA Blue Iris is a slow grower, I tend to disagree... this thing is going to be touching my Hawkins in weeks!


The Pink Jade has been looking super fine lately! And the frag to the right of it is starting to show some real potential!

A dollop of fish eggs, a dash of mysis shrimp, a pinch of shredded dried seaweed, a dusting of fish meal, a few spritzes of Selcon, and of course the most important ingredient, LOVE.

Still running LEDs with two T5 bulbs as supplementation. Can't complain with the colors and growth I'm achieving at the moment.

Took some PAR measurements in the tank today. As expected, high readings directly under the LEDs, lower towards the front of the tank and as it gets deeper.
