    LOL Yes it is! Huge frag too, for the money I couldn't be happier. They will all color up too when they get glued and move to appropriate flow and lighting. They are getting like 100% 12k light atm.

    Bah, went on vacation for 2 weeks and left my father in charge, who knows nothing about the tank.
    He did his absolute best, but its hard doing all the things and SPS tank require when you don't know the hobby. Came home and 60% is dead and gone, the other 40% is barely hanging on.

    Salinity was @ 45 PPT even with the ATO working, I guess he thought he needed to add "clean" saltwater to it when things started going south.

    He moved the outline of the doser out of the sump and it dosed my wall, so the alk was @ 4.5 DkH when I came home.

    The skimmer pump died on me again, so that was off for 6 days, and the finally, I had a BP reactor stop working and basically go septic on itself with no skimmer to removed the gunk.

    Thats the update for now. Over a year of growth gone. I think I might dump the reef and just go FOWLR on a 300g. Then he can watch it for me when I leave and nothing should be able to go wrong. LOL
