1200 pounds of fun

Thankfully it warmed up Thursday night I defently dodged another tempture bullet a few more degrees lower could have crashed the tank

I thought I would bump my thread being that my tank is turning two ! I am very lucky to report that I have managed to stop a RTN bleaching from the bottom up outbreak. I first noticed some bleaching on the base of a acro about a month and a half ago . I have experienced this before and lost a few big colonies so I acted fast cutting off the dead tissue fraging and re mounting the acro .

I would have been great if it stopped with one coral but the RTN seamed to jump from coral to coral bleaching about eight sps over a period of about a month. My parameters all seamed to be in good order , the one thing I did notice was by bio-pellets were clumping a little bit so I took them off line as well as my gfo just in case and have been running carbon only for the past few weeks .

The good news is all the sps survived the RTN event some are just a little stubby now

Hear is a photo of my tank august 2013.



And here is some photos last night

Well I should have knocked on wood or not posted that last post. I was sure I beat this dam STN but low and behold I have found two more Frags STNing 😬. I guess I was just being to dam cocky posting pictures of my tank live and learn I guess . Hmm back to step one wait and see. Fingers crossed or maybe I need a prayer recator.

Thanks Warren ! I'am hoping I get it under control soon . I didn't find
Any corals STNing today so it's wait and see here on out . Any corals that show any STN will be removed from my tank immediately.

I was bored on the weekend and I was thinking about the good old day when I would run 500w of MH for 9 hours day. So I started to think to myself and then I was convinced that I had better colour when I was running my phoenix 250 watt 14k. So I thought I would do a side by side comparison to my a360we.
I was totally surprised that when I tunded the the kessil to 70% colour I could not see any or very little difference at all. I am sure the die hards will disagree but I here is a my photo. Sorry for the low quality but you get the idea
