Where do you see the eggs, I’m looking hard I don’t c anything that looks like fish eggs. That’s pretty cool your fish do that!

They're really hard to see with the shading:

SCOP growth shots. I've already pulled off a couple inch chunks from the left side since the first picture. Last shot is full daylight, this coral is insane:

Pictures get fairly downgraded here. Close up shot from the last photo:

Looks like you’re going to have an entire mature colony before too long.

That SCOP is growing like crazy, damn! That’s better growth than anything in my whole tank.

Super super nice coral! Color and growth pattern texture are amazing.

Question: how did you get the last picture to come out so clear as opposed to the others?

For some reason the first one got compressed like crazy by the website, it doesn't seem to like portrait orientation photos. The last one is just the last photo by itself in a normal horizonal shot and uploaded with a larger size too.

Also some more Seatak testing. Managed to have a single axial polyp of a Tort survive the night and didn't burn out like super glue would:

thanks for the info. I guess it’s luck in the dimensions, BAR more often then not compresses my images and I feel like they are blurry mess when I’m looking at crystal clear HD on my camera roll. All good though.

Yummy!

 

[Devon]

Looking good!

 

[derek_SR]

Wow that Disney is really taking off! SCOP growing like crazy too.

Your tank needs more acros and less of that soft stuff.

Some of the nicest micros I’ve seen and very nice growth!

He needs a bigger box!

 

[Coral reefer]

Corals all look very happy. Like kids at Disney!

Tank is cruising along! Tested for the first time in two months before my water change:

Phosphate was above the Hanna limit (oops). So time to change out my Phosguard I guess.

All animals look great, despite everyone online saying that level of phosphate is tank killing . Only dosing is 12 hour reverse schedule kalk still along with a couple pumps of Tropic Marin K+ and A- a week if I remember.

The beauty of long established tanks, nothing can hurt them. Why do you believe your phosphates are elevated?

Probably overfeeding. I've been away from my tank during the week the past few months. I usually hang around 0.50 ppm.
