buddy it looks awesome but even in the pic that you say is 'brown' stuff still looks great.

Thanks Doug.
Jason & Colin, thanks as well. Jason I think you are certainly overdue for an order
Colin I am counting on you to help me make more room.

Okay, long story.
There are several parts to that equation. I started using Polyp-Labs "Reef-resh" which made a big difference, I added a 40 gallon refugium which not only worked as a nitrate & bioload export but increased water capacity, I introduced a whole bunch of blue legged hermits to eat the hair algae, I got a way bigger & better skimmer and I added a prop tank which again added more water volume. Unrelated to nitrates but I also added a chiller so I could avoid the annual "summer kill" or "brown out" from the heat. Unfortunately in July I had my infamous dishwasher leaking into my tank incident which either bleached or browned everything out again (lost about 9 pieces of sps) but as you can see it is now on the rebound. Thanks for the interest.

hey greg i will definitely help you my friend. the trick is convincing my wife that it is a NECESSITY to have more corals. no i'm just kidding, she is sometimes worse then i am. my tank is definitely on the rebound so be prepared for THE order coming your way. unless maybe a trade may be in order .

by the way congrats on the new business venture, there is no need to wish you luck because once people realize the quality and health of your pieces and shipping the business should go through the roof.

Is there any rock in there? or do you just have corals on top of corals.
