Snails and crabs keep jostling it’s position, but it’s opened up well.  All heads look happy!

10 gallon Nuvo Fusion
35 ppt/1.026 salinity
10 drops/day phyto - it’s a variety that has a feeding response and opens its mouths when phyto is added, just like the sunnyD colony behind it.

3 new baby’s trying to bud.

Same parameters but added a doser to the system to keep alkalinity up to the level I’m trying to keep it at which is 9.

Three polyps with 2 babies.

Alk 7.5
Ca 360
Mag 1380
Salinity 1.026
Nitrates I haven't checked in months. Prob about 20.
Phos not sure.
Lighting Viper Spectra 12 hours blue, 9 hours whites
PAR about 150
Temp 78
PH 8.0 (night) with new meter that needed calibrating. Not sure I got it exact, never really worry about PH much if Alk is stable.
My SPS are growing well and since I have been opening the windows I have had to adjust my Ca and Alk several times and need to do it again.
Frag tank flow Aqua Clear HOB filter and Hydor Nano, Guessing low to med.

Water change within the past week, seeing some cyano now.  Most zoanthids in the tank are still looking good, but montis are dead and lone Duncan head finally bailed out.  I really need to get the 75 going...

Nothing too impressive, but a definite change since I took them out of the “jar” tank I had them in. They have been in this tank about 2 weeks now, looking much better, grew a new head much better color. Not sure on parameters, I don’t have my test equipment it’s at my buddies house.

Did a top view pic tonight, my zoas aren’t doing the greatest lately. I guess I really need to test my water, it’s been about 7mo, I guess it’s time.
