Thanks Nick and Mylon. And both you guys are overdue for a visit.

Very nice colours and great pictures.

Summer is usually a tough time for my display tank (was last year), but so far no problems and all inhabitants seem to be happy. Parameters are all staying consistent, coral growth and color is as good as ever. No algae now (had a problem last fall), no cyano (haven't had that for 4+ years), and sand is clean and white (thanks to my goby). Only problem is no room, and corals are crowding each other out. Mushrooms have turned into real pests, and overgrowing some of my SPS. Have not figured out yet how to control them (Aiptasia X doesn't work).

And my DIY chiller has worked great, as my big 1/3 HP Artica has not had to come on once through this latest heat spell. So am very happy with that. I think I will put it up for sale, and gain a little more space in my sump room.


FTS, though hard to get a good one this time of year, with all the daylight.


Some of my fav corals.


Red Planet getting too large. Might have to chop off a large colony piece.

Close up.


Pink Lemonade stub after I sold off the colony is coming back nicely.


More favs.












And my poor bonsai losing the battle to the bad, bad, mushrooms.
