  1. Loving the colors I see

    I ran across a comment by one person who stated that even when my tank has issues, it still looks nicer than their reef. I completely understood what he meant, in that we are never really happy with our tanks because we see the problems and annoyances. When I stand in front of my tank I do see some pretty corals, but I also see those that aren't doing well. If it is just a couple, it's much easier to overlook. When it's system-wide, something must be done.

  2. Enough doom and gloom

    I took a few pictures today and thought you might enjoy them. Everything was shot with a 50mm f/1.8 lens.

  4. Hints of life in the carnage (of select corals)

    While a number of corals look okay, there are some that were hit really hard. One was a little SPS that never really did anything in the nine months it was in the tank, but decided to take a nosedive during the bacterial overdose. I watched it and a few others turn white, and just left it alone. When checking on this particular acropora (A. milleopora) I noticed that some life did survive even though about 70% perished.
