View attachment 5403This frag is starting to get fat already. I am def going to do a water change tonight. Perhaps fine tuning my GFo, some hair algae is growing a little quickly. Bastard algae! And a few pieces of bubble are growing. Nipping this in the bud.

My frag is nice and fat. I'm expecting in a few weeks.

I added four more LEDs over my 8 gal. At 39watts I expect to see better growth. Knock on wood.

I finally moved mine to my work tank last night:
JBJ Nano HQI
Standard JBJ MH bulb
StevieT Media Rack
JBJ Skimmer
No extra powerhead

It might do okay if the snails stop digging it up. I put it back down I the sand twice last night.

At one point, mine had a new head forming on the side, but it got absorbed. I'd take it off of the frag rack to check again, but I'm afraid I'll just anger it again. So I wait.

Yep, best to leave it alone. It's kinda like watching paint dry!


I love reefers...

Congrats! And the race is now on! We have a few members with babies already! These guys seem to be really decent growers. (my control polyp just sprouted baby #2 while I was in the hospital )

I knew that was you! You went straight to AA after you got out. I saw you going in with your pillow and water jug.

Lol! That WAS me, but I got out Wednesday night. We stopped on the way back from the old lady's doctor appointment at Alexian Brothers for baby #2. Surgeon said I needed to get up on my feet and move around, where better than at a LFS having a sale!!! And better yet, shopping in pajamas. It was sweet.
