Looking good! Nice score on that rainbow acan. I see EA post nice stuff but haven't made the drive in a long time. It was out of the garage last time I was there.
Thanks. Yeah they have a pretty big selection now, I’d say more mid to low end coral but always some hidden gems.

Quick update. Summer, work, etc. haven’t paid as much attention as I should to tank the last few months but overall things are doing well.

I lost a couple pieces while on a two week vacation. Bummed because I picked them up at WWC in Orlando while there for work. Nothing crazy just grafted Cyphastrea and a sweet little turbinaria. They look they want to come back if the algae would keep at bay.

I’d like to add a true HG torch sometime soon. And maybe give another turbinaria a try, really dig the shape. SPS is still my downfall for sure.

Top down update. Tank has been doing well, so much so I’m even afraid to look at it wrong some days, lol. :ROFLMAO: Biggest problem has been keeping up with Alk, I’m constantly trying to get it up to 8 dkh but hovering around 7 most days.

Fragged two of my torches, that was a first for me. Went well and despite gluing some of tentacles to the plug they seem to be doing good. A few more months and I will probably need to worry about that monti.

Looking good! 7 isn’t bad and not something I would worry about too much. You can increase AFR a little more as long as the other parameters are good and not elevated? Otherwise, small additions of soda ash at night might help. If things are looking good and there are no issues, then I wouldn’t try to change much. NSW alk is 7, so you’re within the target range.

Thanks John!

I need to test all the other parameters it’s been a while. But I did take your advice and added an extra ml about half day. I’m not unhappy with 7 but it’s not uncommon for me to drop to 6.6 -6.8. I’d like a little more headroom

Then add another mL midday and check alk, ca and mag. If all check out, then you're good to go.

Tank is looking awesome! Can’t wait to get my first torch! Pretty sure that’s going to be the next coral I purchase.
