    I dont have any auto feeders, and do not have a controller. I do have my lights on Home depot dial type timers.
    I do have a continuous feed ATO from my RO/DI to the sump.

    I come home and everything looks pristine!!

    Feed em, mag flaoated the glass, checked the SG- 1.026 (perfect for me),

    I couldn't be happier!

    I'm going over to a local reefer I've never met in a few hours. She's advertising a LOT of coral frags, great prices. I got to pick up at least 3-4. She gots some montis I"m interested in. I've got 2 montis already.

    This will add to my already 29 different species of Corals. (Includes softs, LPS, and SPS in about equal numbers).

    Long story short, no feeding or anything for 3 days, and NO CRASH- YEA, far from it!!

    Sorry, I'm just continuing the great mood I still have from the weekend family YMCA camp!!

    Sounds like a good policy.

    I think I'll post up the 4 frags I just got for next to nothing!

    Now with new sps frags of mine #'s 30-34

    OK, posted the pics of my newest frag species #'s 30-34

    I may need a little help with ID'ing some of them.

    The first is a huge piece of Orange Neon Montipota- tha larger plate is at least 4 inches across!
    The second is a Birds of Paradise? Also huge piece
    The third is a piece of an acopora? Also several inches high.
    The fourth is a Purple and blue - acopora?

    Please help with the ID'ing, and sorry, my Iphone 4 really makes things bluer than I see them!
    Thanks

    Those look great! Pic number three is a green polyped birdnest, I have a couple ORA one that look exactly like it. Great score man make sure to test and keep your numbers up. Those first three and the toughest sps I can think of

    Thanks Ingtar!

    I'll do my best. Everything has been thriving for a while now in my DT.

    I already have about 10 sps, including Monti flower (tyree strain), and Sunrise MOnti, etc., before these 4 were added.

    Could someone please give me the correct name of Pic 4? It's a purple and blue ?
