Some top down pics after building an acrylic box for pics. There still not great but better then the side shots for showing colors.
I still cant get my camera adjusted to show the real blue in this piece but oh well, I know its probably me, Ill keep fiddling.
Heres a some pics of a couple of the platygyra frags I cut a while back, should be ready for sale soon.
Heres the platygyra colony in my tank. Its definitly a slow grower but the green really pops nice.
My two monti caps.
Frag sump is filling nicely.
Going to look into maybe some supplemental light next or possibly a fixture change. Im not really sure yet, Im wondering if my lighting is almost too intense. I have a chalice coral thats recovering in my frag sump as it was bleaching on the bottom of my tank. Im curious if the light was the cause, moved it around in the tank a few times but it was never happy. I guess it could of been something else ****ing it off but my pagoda isnt super happy either compared to the piece in the frag sump and now that Ive pushed my ricordea under a rock ledge its splitting and growing, otherwise it was starting to shrink. I had some candy cane coral in the main tank but didnt seem to inflate much in the main tank, looks happier in the sump. Not sure what to make of all of it yet. Part of me is wondering if I should give the reef side up and get a nice large tank of angels next. There my favorite fish and are one of the main reasons I was drawn to salt. Unfortunately there not reef safe.
