And glad to see that your tank has hold up against the power outage and everyone in your family is safe
I'm assuming you mean the middle one not the ponape bird's nest? I got it from Snappy and I believe it's a purple valida. I got it coloured down and have had it better than it is now... needs more time I guess! it is growing well now though.

Yeah it's amazing what 6 months can do for small frags. they get a bunch of branches which start growing branches... and the rest is an buttload of brs chemicals.

Your tank looks really nice. Did you ever find your orange back fairy wrasses?

Thanks.

No the wrasse appears to be gone. I have a screen top and my only cleanup crew is a pair of peppermint shrimp. I have no idea why I haven't found any traces of the poor guy. Maybe wrasses can die in their sleep (under the sand) ?

Thanks man. Yeah I started up again with the Acan Plus once I knew I had the hair algae under control. I'm feeding 2-3 times per week and the colours and appearance of the acans have really improved. Some of my zoas and palys love the stuff too especially the candy apple reds and the sunny d's. their growth rates have increased as well as their coloration.

I bought another kent squirt thingy for dosing but the device is really annoying. When you submerge a 24" tube partially filled with the food into the water you need to expertly manage the pressure on the bulb to keep water from forcing its way in diluting the food. No matter what this almost always happens so I'm planning on rigging my own device with a syringe or seeing if I can get my hands on Julian's Thing.
