Greg's 75g

Some corals have doubled in size since last year, and some have done nothing
I've been on a bit of a rollercoaster with dosing so ... it is what it is for now

Sorry I don't have more time right now, or a better camera
There's some growth happening but my POS Sony isn't up to it

Another member stated they would come by one day with their 'Big Camera', but that hasn't happened, so this is all I have

Hey, look, pictures !!!

Picked up a Porcelain 'nem crab

Although it wasn't my intention, it went right for our nems the next day
I only bought the little feller as I thought it's very nice looking
Unfortunately the nems aren't looking very bubbly as of late
I don't know why
I hope to solve this soon
I suspect it's a lack of suspended nutrients and extreme lighting as that's the kind of system they came from
I haven't been blasting the nems with light 'cause, if you've been following along, my SPS were suffering bleaching
I've been feeding the 'nems once monthly and hope things turn around soon

A FTS, just for posterity
And look, there's actually fish in this pic

Ouch that big guy bleached hard. I'm recovering from some of that myself. Nice score with the crab I really want to have a few of those again. Fascinating critters.

Thanks everybody

I hope it starts to fill in a bit faster now

I recently received an RD1 from DA. I've removed the RKL Head Unit from the QT and wired everything into the RKL, with the RD1 on the QT door
Now I'm able to play with the RKL from the sump room. And because I have 2 SL1s I was able to add 2 more switches to the system.
I put a float in the skimmer cup and another in the chaeto tank.
I love having more powerbars too. Pretty much all the automation I wanted is now in place.
One last thing may be a Net module; so I can freak out while I'm away and send texts to my tank sitter

A couple weeks ago my skimmer was acting up and it turned out there was a bug stuck on the fresh air intake I put out the window.
I picked up a breather filter so that won't happen again

The green birdsnest isn't as bleached as it looks in FTSs

I played with my camera settings a bit
This is about the best I can get
