Time for an update! Not the most uplifting, but here we are... I think my tank had some variation of OTS. The algae was out of control, and many of my frags/colonies had died. Completely cleaned out the fuge, and have been treating w/ Fluconazole (3 cycles). My refugium never worked the way I wanted it to. The DSB in there had next to no flow, and I think got a bit toxic. Removed a fair amount of sand from the display tank as well - probably more to come.
Think this tank is going to be more softies and fish going forward. Just haven't been successful w/ sps, and this tank is what it is now. How do we get there, functionally? That is where I welcome your input, ARC! Chime in! Lots will be for sale eventually, so feel free to PM me w/ anything you might want down the road.
I think my plan is to re-landscape, frag up some of the colonies to make room, get rid of some more sand, and add some fish. Euphyllias, mushrooms, leathers, maybe an anemone again...
Stream of consciousness re: video below:
Frogspawn has been happy and healthy until those 2 heads died a couple of weeks back. No other heads seem to be even sad or affected. Thinking of fragging this guy up into 5+ pieces.
Will find a way to keep GSP, likely on it's own island/tower.
Mushrooms have never been happier - this vid is them at 80%. Definitely going to frag and sell - I have rouge shrooms all over the tank. Metallic Blue Mushrooms
Hammer is going to get fragged up. It's happy, w/ baby heads popping up on all trunks.
Lone Star Leather - hit me up! $40 for 2x2" chunk.
Peach Leather - will sell the whole thing for $30. There are some blue fuzzy shrooms under there that can't thrive in the shadow, and I want to see them go/grow.
Cinnamon Grandis Palys - going to frag this up too
