    Added a torch frag. It looked nice and fluffy in the store and appears to be close to splitting into two polyps. I thought maybe the clowns would host this coral.... oops I mean the coral would host the clowns ;)

    lol, i reckon you could get by with a small BTA once your system establishes a little more. this would avoid your torch being stressed from the clowns, should they decide to take residence. Remind me what lighting you are using?

    I am using a Maxspect Razor Nano. I thought a torch could handle to abuse? If not do you know of other corals that can?

    Oldfishkeeper - thank you :) it looks even better now that I have all the Mg/KH/Ca levels up where they should be.

    Picked up some frags and everyone looks like they are happy to be here. Hopefully they stay this way.

    My favorite is probably to monti. I really like how it looks like it's melting when fully grown out. This is a pic of the mother colony. I placed it on the upper side of the left column hoping it would kind of grow down a little where the light isn't as strong since this monti doesn't like as much light as other SPS. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Also everything I've read on montis is that they like lower DKH levels around 8-9. Per instruction from the Red Sea care program I am running the tank at 12 DKH. I have seen where some people run their tanks at 10 DKH. Am I ok at 12?
