Parker's 265 Build - Thread Retired

[lastlight]

I haven't been reefing long but already I know how you can sorta fall out of routine and put things off. I was doing minimal maintenance for a few months when work got nutty. Kien and I had a chat about getting back on the horse and I've been pro-active and all over any issue I can identify. I saw the results in less than a week.

Glad to hear you have some sps still. Water's been tested time to get some frags!

Ignore my aptasia problem, that's next...

Well I guess I have a bit of algae in my tank, but for reference I have never cleaned the back wall



The on coral that's survived it all. The color is starting to come back.. Dez mentioned this one should be whitish with colored tips.. the top of is whit with colored tips even though you can quite tell in the picture..but you can see it has grown..lol

Some decent growth there and it's down pretty low too. Is that mounted to your closed loop intake? If so you better hope it doesn't encrust too much!

It is on my closed loop intake, but is hasn't encrusted to it yet.. almost though! I have to figure out where I want to put it but I'm reluctant to move it because it's really starting to do well..

I'd say move it higher but you have very few options for doing that with the current scape. You have the potential with your scape to have some crazy massive colonies...

Sounds like you bought some of those to save time lol. PICS!

I gotta say, I'm a weeeee bit nervous now having these in my tank!

And just like that you've got more coral by weight than I do. Well done!
