I always find my red #rhodactis look their best when they are closed up, as seen here after a water change. On the top they are a striking red, but underneath they are almost like velvet sprinkled with stardust. The phone camera hardly does them justice.

Starting to look like something. Planted out a number of euphyllia heads, that has been loitering in the sandbed of another tank. #reeftank #euphyllia #montipora #pavona #corals

Restart time! This thing never became much more than a holding tank for excess frags, which turned into a nasty cesspool from neglect. Same old rock,  cleaned and cured again, fresh sand, high quality pump and heater. Let's hope I get it right, this time.

Through all the craziness, the Red Pavona has recovered nicely. Also got a few new arrivals as well. And i got a couple of nice Tunze 6055's today. Just waiting on the  9076 controller unit now. #nanoreef #reeftank #pavona #hydnophora #tunze

Mistakes were made, equipment broke down, some corals died, others are still going strong. But I'm back in the game again. #nanoreef #corals #maxspectjump

Shit! What happened? Well some time ago i posted about a cotton candy algae that had infested one of my tanks, and about the sea hare i had bought to combat it. Unfortunately unbeknownst to me, the tank was harboring predatory worms that ate the sea hare( and ALL other snails!!!). After that the algae returned with a vengeance, and after failing to contain it, with a variety of methods, i was left with the nuclear option. So i instituted a month and a half long blackout. Time to pick up the pieces.
