Problems were last summer. Water and tank are good now. Coral color and growth have returned.

Are you referring to my red planet?

Why I like SPS... Got this frag about a month ago, was completely white, now starting to show some interesting colors.

What was left of my Pink Lemonade colony,...encrusting is starting to show branches already. Won't be long before I have another giant colony from this one. It has very good genes...

Another recent frag. Looks a lot like my Pink Lemonade encrusting,... but the mother colony was more fuzzy yellow, so will have to wait and see.

Not sure what this recent frag is either. But seems to be settling in nicely.

Some of my old favs.

And from another angle.

This one's been around for a while, but had to move it a couple times due to being crowded out by my plague mushrooms.

Red Planet color and growth has returned.

My poor Setosa still losing the war with the Red Planet. But it is spreading elsewhere...

Sunset Monti doesn't lose any wars... Latest victim was my Pink Milli, which I had to frag and move.

Bonzai trying to escape the mushrooms...

Pearlberry(?) doing fine...

Green Bali getting crowded out, too.

Nothing can stop this Valida...

Thanks Rich. You know,... for the life of me, I can't take good FTS's. I always have poor focus and/or reflection off the glass (acrylic). Not sure if it is the cameras I have tried or just me. And the color is not right either (WB).

But I did take some not too long ago, so maybe I'll post a couple pics.

OK, here are the FTS's, from about a month ago. But not a lot has changed since then.

Wow. Nice corals & pics. Superb colours.

I mean, c'mon! You've only been reefing a few years and your tank looks like that?
Did you make a deal with the Devil? Practice underwater voodoo? Sacrifice your first born?
Absolutely incredible! BRAVO!

Ya Warren it's a beautiful tank for sure, nice setting in the wall of the kitchen beside the center island. Great job Walter.

You're all way too kind, but thanks. Have had my ups and downs, and lots of lessons learned. And the journey continues,... still wrestling with a few challenges. I guess that's what keeps us in the hobby. If it was easy, it would be boring.
