Wow! Nice coralline colors too.Started adding sand. Washing a 120lb of sand takes a loooooooong time!
In the meantime, took some pictures just to document what's in the other tanks currently.
1 of my Jawbreakers. Got this one from fellow BAR member.

Go lyretail, or sunset, or basically any other type. Not the tuka

Tank as it looks this morning.
I got diatoms on day 5. Added cuc then the 1st of my fish.
Moved over some corals today.
An Acanthophyllia, a Trachyphyllia, Micromusa colony (acan) with an attached rock nem.
A couple of gorgonians.
Picked up a H. magnifica anemone yesterday from Neptune. It attached immediately to the rock I specifically had made for it and it looks happy there so far.
Moved my Picasso percula over last night but it hasn't found the nem yet.
Did have a surprise last night. Took some measurements and my alk was super low. @ 5.06dkh. I did not have any corals nor was there coralline growing so I'm a little stumped as to where my alk went. Only thing changed was adding sand but it is loose and not clumped.
Other thing is, Ca is where it should be at 396. So it can't be precipitation.
I dosed alk up to 6.5 last night and will bring it up to 8 today then 9.5 tomorrow. No sps so I can be a little aggressive.

Chromis - I think he added a clean-up crew (cuc)
Vincent - When you dose Alk supplement does it instantly look like it is precipitating like snowflakes? My alk keeps dropping but my Ca is staying the same, too. I was worried the alk was precipitating out and not doing anything but since it spikes my pH I guess it is not precipitating. I need to read up on alk and balance and don't mean to hijack this thread.
Which coral is that red and purple in the photo above? Is it Acanthophyllia? Never heard of that until you listed it as one of your faves. It resembles a scolymia?

Maybe alk drop could be byproduct if the emaco?

I had a Tomini in the tank before I put the regal and desjardini in. I also have a purple and yellow in the 40b but I'm reconsidering moving them over.
