Had a slight bleaching thing going on after replacing 40ml rowaphos..... i pulled out half of this stuff and with less then 20ml of it i still read 0 ppb phosphorus, looks like the biopellets seem to do a good job keeping phosphates down. (i feed 1 cube of frozen food every day, including wastewater)

Things have stabilized again, basic paramaters are rock solid now and it begins to show on the acro's! good growth and great color! the purple bonsai acro is even getting its intense purple color back! (very slowly)

Since i added a Dwarf angelfish to the tank the Goniopora hasn't opened, i brought it back to the store as i knew it wouldn't survive very long in this condition.

Other corals are left alone by the Dwarf angel, even my clam.
The clamtle's man did get eaten for 30% by a crab though!, but its regenerating fast and looking very healthy!

i have like 100 crabs in the live rock, most are emerald crabs, but some are vicious killers. one time i couldn't find my elegance coral anymore, i found it pulled under a rock by a crab eating it! (tissue was floating around in the tank) i pulled it from under the rock and it looked lost, put it on an open spot in the sandbed and its recovering, only at night it shrinks and u can see the tissue damage.
