This week has been fantastic for me & my tank; I took a day trip up north of me to meet with another fish keeper & we did a trade some fresh water plants for some corals. Win win for both of us!
Then yesterday I took some time to myself & went to Calgary to check out Wais Aquarium store & I had to go to Pisces for wet dog food & seeing as I was there I got 2 blue bulbs for my light. I installed them on the outer with the day white bulb in the middle. I think I will try either the Beauty Max or Color Max in the middle to see if there is much difference.
I think now my reef is set, I have found a very nice selection of different corals... Now to let everything mature & grown into itself. & for the fish to grow up.
Today is water change day.

Tank coming along fantastic except I thought "let's take the teal mushroom off the rock with the blue mushrooms & put him elsewhere to spread out my mushrooms". Ya it wormed it's way out of the glue & is hopefully somewhere around my tank rock in a cozy niche & didn't get chewed up thru the circulation pump. I believe another trip to Wai's to see if he has more larger than 1/2 the tip of my baby finger is in order. It is a beauty.
Tank really pops with the 2 Blue lights & the Beautymax bulb in the middle.

Life has gotten in the way of a few deals for new corals. But in the right time I believe it will all fall into place. Found the teal mushroom. I put him on a rock then covered with another & using an elastic band have sandwiched it. The research I have done says this method it takes about a week or 2 for the mushroom to stick itself to a rock.
Unfortunately the green birdsnest got knocked off the rock as it would seem the epoxy didn't hold. I am gonna go back to the reef glue. It seems to be the only thing that truly holds.

Oopsy overdose of Polyp-Booster will cause murky water. Learnt my lesson I now know even a 1/2 dose of recommendation for my tank size being that all my Corals are frags is too much. But I know what to use now.here is a cool picture. Top pict is after a 10gal then a 15gal change the next morning. Bottom is taken about 36hrs later & less than 24hrs after adding the electric Flame scallop.
