Medic155 - 6 Month Update

medic155 · 12/18/2012, 07:17 PM

Well, it has been roughly 8 months since I started my adventure into reef aquariums. I have learned a lot from all of the people here, and probably would have thrown in the towel a long time ago had it not been for some of the great people here. Here are some pictures from around July when I finished the majority of my stocking.

FTS

Long Tentacle Plate Coral

Duncan

And here is today. Don't mind the GHA that I have been fighting. My ATS went down for about a week due to a faulty pump, trying to catch back up now.

FTS

Plate Coral's and Frogspawn

GBTA that split about 2 weeks ago

Pink Birdsnest(Before)

(Now)

Duncan(now has 5 heads), Torch, War Coral, Bubble Coral

Now for a small confession. I haven't tested parameters or done a water change in almost 3 months :/. I have an ATO, but work and school the last couple months have gotten so hectic, along with a 10 month old daughter, that I haven't had time to keep up on water changes, but things are apparently still okay, since my GBTA split, and the birdsnest has trippled in size. After the holidays, I will slowly start getting back into small water changes. Then again, it might be best to leave things well enough alone.
