Okay, so I picked up these struggling SPS colonies over the weekend. They were pretty brown and a couple of them were RTN'ing so the store owner practically gave them to me. I'm always up for a challenge.

Browned out RTN'ing pocci.



Browned out RTN'ing red(ish) digi.



Unidentifiable Digitata. Browned out, o course.



I think this is an Austera but hard to tell as its browned out a bit

Default Third time's the charm

Well, it appears as though things are back on track. All of my equipment is back online, the tank has been rehabilitated with all parameters in check. A few weeks ago I threw in some struggling colonies and they have all stopped STN'ing and are starting to colour up in their growth tips.

This digi here was completely brown and STN'ing. New growth tips show blue with red polyps. Appears to be turning into a "Superman Digi" maybe.



A few other random pieces I've picked up in the last little while.







I do miss "watching" these buggers grow. Grow little friends, grow!

I sure did miss taking pictures in the tank.





Wrasses are so hard to photograph!







When I first saw these two together I was sure that this relationship would end badly!



I've been proven wrong. They've enjoyed each other's company for a long long time now.





Shrimp cocktail anyone?

You've inspired me. I'm officially on a mission to bring my tank back from the brink of destruction.

On a side note, I somehow landed on this post

"I am actually liking this skimmer now. For the first year that I had this skimmer it was nothing but headaches. It would blow its skimmer cup often and I could not figure out why. I came so close to throwing it into the recycling bin so many times! After about a year it started to settle down and hasn't blown its load in quite a while. I think it just needed an insanely long break in period LOL. Anyway.. I won't be replacing this skimmer any time soon. I'm in love with it again." - Kien

My skimmer was the same. My Tunze Master DOC Skimmer took about a year to break in?! I'm loving it now, but I would have replaced it if an opportunity had presented itself.
