The gsp looks cool when its out and I love how the jawfish is looking at the camera as if to say "Excuse me....but enough with the pic.'s already!"

Tony! I hadn't seen the Rhump before, it is quite attractive. Hehe...

Hey Wes, the frags are doing well. The Bonsai did not take to the Coral Rx dip very well and I lost about half of it, but the rest are doing very well.

Laurie, I have a short video of the Jawfish looking at the camera too, but it's choppy off the USB Magnifier.

Steve, the pics of the Jawfish were taken with a USB Magnifier, and the rest were taken with a Canon G7. I don't have the Magnifier in front of me so I don't know the brand name. Most of the pics from the G7 are grainy on this page because I had it on 400 ISO by accident.

Wow, I haven't posted on here in a long time! The tank has been a polluted dump since the tank sitter was primarily looking after it for 8 consecutive months. I have also been using an under-sized skimmer (SWC 120 Cone) on it since I got fed up with the EuroReef overflowing and needing adjustment which the tank sitter wasn't good at doing. So the under-sized SWC was the better option. Still, the SPS were browning out, and LPS were happy as a clam! There has also been little growth in the last 6 months, and a healthy covering of cyano over most of the sand.

I finally had enough and started dosing Prodibio Bioptim and Biodigest (aka BioClean) in mid-June. What difference! I'm sold on this stuff! I also ordered a SWC 180 Cone from The Reef Shoppe which will be arriving on Tuesday. Woohoo!

I am now home full-time, no more working out of province so I can clean up the tank finally! Yesterday I switched out the GFO which had been in there since April. I also removed the carbon which had been in there since April too. I will add some fresh carbon back in next week since it will be enough shock to the system to add fresh GFO.

The SPS aren't very impressive right now, so I took some pics of some of the LPS for you guys.










This guy has a third mouth on the other side. Nice piece.




FTS from July 3. I should have taken before Prodibio FT photos to compare. This is 3 days after the second dose.
