Been busy and the tank has been doing great. Awhile back out of the blue my full size Goldflake angel just vanished. I looked all over in the tank, around, under, overflow but the fish vanished. I'm thinking it jumped out and either the housekeeper tossed it or the dogs grabbed it and took it out in the yard. Either way, very bummed to have lost the fish, and not having any luck finding a replacement.
Corals have been growing really well. I started dosing Triton Base and Trace elements. Been dosing the elements for about 3 months now. I haven't noticed any difference in the colors of the corals. But the growth of some of the corals has just taken off. I have several corals that have been consistent slow growers for up to 2 years which have just taken off in all directions since adding the Triton to the mix.
After over a decade of great service I finally replaced some of my Tunze pumps. One of my original 6200's is still running. I had replaced my aging 6200's with Tunze 6155, and 6255. I have been really disappointed with the reliability of the newer pumps. I'm on my second 6255 in the past 18 months and as of this week it has quit running. The 6155's spend half their time spinning in reverse. So I opted for the 4 of the Neptune WAV pumps running off my Apex. I am running 2 as upflow pumps (in the middle of the tank pointed at the surface). The volume these smaller pumps move is outstanding. I have to dial them back to 60% when I am home because the move so much water that the boiling water has gotten too noisy.
And here is what we are looking like
My Grafted
Middle of the tank
Pink Lemonade
Blue Stag -- Had this Aussie Blue Stag for over a year, all the new growth tips are since starting the Triton Elementz
Oregon Tort Colony - Getting big
The Whole Darn Thing
