Most of the Cyano has finally gone away.   Corals are starting to get their pop back.   Took a few pictures today.

Paul looks like the tank is coming together for you well now. Corals are looking much better.

Tank looks great. Giving me a lot of ideas for some updated changes on my tank and fish room.

Didn't realize that it had been so long since I posted an update.   The last part of 2013 was a rough period with chemistry just not working.  I got it straightened out early this year, and things have been going well for 6 months.   Here is a current FTS

Looks really nice Paul. I like the layout of the rock. Plenty of space for coral growth.

Been playing with my new D5300.  This is a big improvement over my D80

All your corals are looking really healthy and tank is quite a difference from the shot above in Feb.

That came from Mantis at Cora.  I'm not sure what he called it, but as it grows, it looks like an acropora sarementosa.   The tips are lavender to red.

Sweet! I have a piece with similar growth that I got from Rich, I hope the tips color up like that.

Quite a few of you know that I've been struggling to get back into things after my system crash. Over the last week, since the frag swap, I've been going through the system getting things cleaned up. I thought I had lost this coral, but during the removal of the dead skeleton, I came across these little guys. This is one of the first corals I ever bought, it is around 12 years old.  I about killed in my early days of reefing.....I brought it back from a single polyp half this size. These are about dime size right now.....and I have two right now.
