Happen to have a picture of your tank? In my experience of the orange monti cap is more of a hot pink color then you may be having an imbalance of nutrients that are feeding the coral with you type of light. When my tank was lacking nutrients my orange monti cap was more of a light shade of...

Depends what you plan on keeping/fish bioload and your feeding regiment. Automating a tiny water change daily of like a gallon would be nice , you have to factor in how much your parameters swing, and also the salt mix that which your replacing it with. Seething that up you add another variable...

Did you happen to see the colony pictures of which you received your frags from or personally know the owner of the original colony? Sometimes that may just be the corals natural colors.

There are some corals that are really hard to color up. For my it’s vivids rainbow delight. It grows onto a brown turd, with slight purple in the tips but it should be a heck of a bunch of other colors. While I have no issue with colors on my other corals. Some corals look better when they turn...

For me, when I view this coral under daylights it has the shine of orange and yellow, but I can’t capture the orange I see unless I trick the camera but pumping up the blue leds, and then removing it with the lense. But doesn’t matter how much I try with a phone I can’t get the orange with...

I only use a phone for my pictures and I honestly don’t have the patience to transfer the pictures to Lightroom to adjust white balance, so it’s a lot easier to throw the lense on. Obviously the picture without the lense isn’t what the tank looks like to the human eye because some optical...

It had almost a chrome blue/green with a odd shade of hot pink almost like the tgc inner core to my eyes, maybe when it turns into a colony it will get it again, I just hope it’s not getting too much light, like the confetti will tend to be all pink shades in overpowered light, it needs to be in...

Random tri color is starting to encrust. This one gets neon green tips once it’s happy.

Thanks for the kind words Eric, I’m alittle sad it shifted colors but it is deff in a completely different environment that once created those original colors, so can’t really help it lol

Not bad growth for alittle over a month from a fresh cut.

I am curious as to why you are dosing phytoplankton?

It prob took that tank about 2.5 years to look like that. Stability for some reason in that tank was so easy to maintain , found the right bio load and feeding regiment with a proper skimmer and everything took off from frags.

Was my 75 when I was 21.

Little clowns can’t wait to grow and host in the gsp.

Thank you all for the kind words, I don’t get to watch my tank everyday so anytime I visit it, the tanks so relaxing to watch with the orange lense glasses and actinics.

Here’s some Pictures

Some snails would help clean the rocks atleast that’s a start, and hopefully not too much detritus is sitting in between all that eggcrate. Egg rate can end up causing spots for detritus to settle and not get removed from the tank.

Interesting, how often do you do waterchanges sand your sure your rodi water is clean?

Happen to have any pictures of the tank? With smaller systems I find it takes longer for bare bottoms to fully sustain them selfs. Without sand you remove so much surface area on each grain of sand that houses the bacteria so although there is biomedia, it will take awhile for the tank to...

Did you happen to upgrade the back pump to the maxijet? That’s what I have on my tank because it’s stronger then the original pump it comes with. Maybe try different angles with the return to push the top scum more towards the overflow.
