My Reef Tanks (pic heavy)

[GrimReefer]

i noticed my new bubble coral was starting to brown, so i added a 28w T5 strip to my existing 130w PC. this gives a much more pleasing colour temp. but i had to reduce the exposure time to improve clarity...reducing brightness. it is definitely time for a new camera.

my aiptasia problem has receeded. i can see less than a dozen heads and i have some juice for them.

my blue sponge grows a lot faster than i expected. when i get more tanks set up for propagation, it is definitely on the list to prop.

hair algae is dying off. it was introduced with new LR, as i expected it. twice a week water changes and a more efficient skimmer has delt with it nicely. some unwanted macro is colonizing the left portion of my tank. it's not unpleasant, but i'll try to further reduce nutrients to kill it off.

eventually, i'll be adding an overflow, 10g sump, and 10g display refugium with seahorses. better, random circulation will be added. a few more ricordea and this system is done.
