Yeah I was pretty relieved when they showed up healthy. Had to get at least 24 for the free shipping though

Thanks Greg I'm really happy with how it turned out. The wood is maple.

Just a quick update on a few new changes with the tank. I added a royal gramma and a copper band butterfly last weekend. Brings the fish count up to 9, i'll probably only add a few more and call it good. I had an abundance of tube worms in my tank but the copper band just keeps sucking them out of their tubes i'm sure they'll all be gone in a couple weeks.

I also started to dose a couple of zeovit products yesterday. Coral Vitalizer and Xtra special. Most of my corals look pretty much the same as the last pictures I posted so I will be using those as base line to see if the zeo has much of an affect on their growth and color.

Good luck on the copperband bud, keep us updated.

I was wondering how your frags are colouring/have coloured up and if you can noticed any effect of using the zeovit products yet.

I would say that yes I have noticed better color in some of the acros but not all and I have noticed better polyp extension in some acros but not all. By no means would I say that the product is a big game changer for my tank so far. I remain optimistic and will continue to dose until my current bottles are gone and then will evaluate from there.

I think at the very least I would continue to dose the coral vitalizer as food but am currently unsure about the xtra. I haven't been using it very long yet though so need to give it more time before I come to a conclusion.

Growth is going pretty well with most of the frags but a few have stalled out after they encrusted their frag discs.

That stand looks fantastic. I love dark-stained maple had it in my old house. I'm surprised those little magnets can hold the entire front on are they strong like the tunze magnets?

Looking forward to seeing those frag grow out I was thinking 'wow' as I looked at them and 'double wow' when I saw where they came from.
