Default Update

Well, it looks like the tank has managed to turn around since the December incident (with the crashed Profilux Controller). It took a few months but things have stabilized, colour has returned, growth is happening and all-in-all the tank seems to be back in its groove.

I had a few questions about the crapped out controller.. in the end, I ended up giving it away. I tried to diagnose it but I really couldn't get it to stabilize. After debugging it (factory reset, unplugging and plugging stuff back into it, etc) I did manage to get it to run for a period of time (a few hours) but it just kept rebooting itself and not starting up properly for no apparently reason. I finally decided to ditch all my Profilux stuff and went with just timers for my lights and a Ranco temperature controller for my heater(s), and a standalone doser. I did try to contact GHL customer support and the rep said they wouldn't bother to try and fix it as it wasn't worth it. I was, "better off buying a new one." Gee, thanks guys! Seriously though, no thanks.

Anyway.. here are some pics courtesy of my new underwater camera (Olympus TG-4) that I bought for a recent trip to Cancun (for spring break).

My red goniopora, which was a really deep red completely lost ALL of its colour when the temperature in the tank crashed last December. This thing was ghost white and I was sure it was toast. It also retracted ALL of its feeding arms/mouths and kinda looked like a favia/brain coral. Fortunately, this thing is NUKE PROOF. Slowly but surely, it started to get its colour back and slowly started to extend its arms/mouths. I got pink, then darker pink, then orangy-red-pink. It's still not quite the deep red that it once was but it's getting there.





A different blue-purple goni.
