Apcoleman January 14, 2017 Author Share January 14, 2017 Big improvement over a year ago! Is the carpet Nem still around? Carpet nem is still alive and well. It has grown and knock on wood, has yet to eat a fish. My clowns still ignore it and continue to call the overflow home that is less than a foot away. My bubble tip split the other week and I now have two. I am thinking of removing them because they are getting pretty close to some sps that are growing pretty quick. I got the BTA from Curtis and he mentioned this strain seems to stay on the smaller side. They havent moved much and I am lucky that the carpet nem has not moved once since being introduced.

dangros January 18, 2017 Share January 18, 2017 If you got a true carpet, I bet the clowns would jump in w/in a day. When I got my clown it hosted the powerheads for months. Then I got a very small green Gigantea. The clown jumped in almost immediately. While on vaca, the carpet vanished. I presume it died over the week and was absorbed by the water gods. A few days later, the clown jumped into one of the 3 BTAs that I had. Your tank looks great. One day I hope to get my corals growing as nicely.

Apcoleman July 24, 2017 Author Share July 24, 2017 It has been a while since I have updated this and I finally remembered to snap a few pictures on the phone that I could post. Work has kept me extremely busy and I thank myself everyday for reverting this tank back to a simpler setup. My calcium/alk consumption started to get out of control so I have moved to Bruce's system of dosing Kalk and using the CaRx. I removed a ton of red cap on the left side of my tank that was sucking up a ton of calc/alk in order to keep things in line and just clean up the tank. I still need to trim a bunch of colonies that have started growing into each other (good problem to have) and try and remove a bubble tip or two that have split and are hanging around the back of my tank. Fish are all staying well fed and getting along. Every once in a while I debate about adding this fish or that fish but I have enjoyed having everything on cruise control.

YHSublime July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 Absolutely perfect. Is that monti cap from the frag I gave you when you joined? That's amazing if so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangros July 25, 2017 Share July 25, 2017 Nice work Tony! Love the red. I've also adopted Bruce's method and have seen a significant speed up in coral growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cap is bullet proof and the flower pedal is one of my favorites! Edited July 25, 2017 by Apcoleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
