Asylumdown's 275 Tank build

[asylumdown]

Sad day for me

Ferdinand the cowfish has moved on to a bigger home. Saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing I've ever done in the context of reefing. But it was time. He's off to a 600 gallon tank where he'll have more room to move around.



The tank looks empty without him, but it was the right thing to do.

Slowly but surely the tank is getting back on track:





Nearly lost all of these corals when things were crashing but they've hung on and are starting to grow again:


This frag is super blown out but one I'm really excited about:


These guys really took a beating over the last year, but they're making a pretty strong comeback:


Pink lemonade



This rock was infested with caulerpa to the point where I couldn't keep up with pruning it back, so I chiselled everything off, bleached it, then acid dipped it. Note to the world: this works great, but the rock REALLy needs a curing process afterwards. I put it straight back in my tank and had a hideous outbreak of dinos almost immediately. It's just on the tail-end now. I decided to go more for a 'mass planting' of only a couple of bright, contrasting acros on this rock, should look spectacular when they grow in.



I lost a teal A. scale that used to be in this spot, but I think I replaced it with something even nicer.

Looking great Adam! Can't even tell you had issues. Recovering like a BOSS ! :-)

Thanks Kien!

I know I just posted a fts, but I got a new app that corrects exposure and white balance in camera:





Also took some top downs with the lights on super blue sunset:
