Ah shucks! Thanks Scott and Craig! Wait 'til you see the tiny gorg frag. He is a STUNNER. Just about 2" but AMAZING color. For $5 you can't beat that with a stick!

The chili looks awesome when it expands to feed. It gets furry tentacles all over it.

Re: Here We Go Again!

Oh yes, I know what made it crash. I put 6" of sand I collected in the Gulf of Mexico in there. All the organisms in it died and that was the result.

Re: Here We Go Again!

She did freak out. Read some of the early threads.
I think it is incredible how much this tank has improved over a relatively short time.

Re: Here We Go Again!

Althea, Lynn is absolutely right. I DID freak out and nearly quit reefing one or two times. Tears have been shed as well. I can only speak calmly about it now because it's been a few months.

Matt, I think two of my corals are pouting because I added all the new corals. I can't wait until my carbon gets here. This time I bought a big container so I will have some for back up. I am even considering doing another water change. (Ugh.) My beautiful showpiece yellow fiji leather is looking scraggly and my purple zoas haven't opened in two days. Every other coral is looking good. Here are some shots I took tonight.
