Post Holiday Update
Well as some of you may know I've been on holidays since boxing day and got back on Sunday night. I was a little nervous when I got home about what I was returning too! But luckily all was good in the reef :) A few of the acro's are rather pale and there's some minor bleaching on a couple of pieces but nothing worrying that some love and food can't fix! There was plenty of algae though :( The fucking caulerpa nummularia had gone nuts! I HATE THAT SHIT SOOO MUCH!!!!!!! lol

Yesterday was a good old water change day and tomorrow is as well, algae removal, parameter balancing (haven't tested yet either lol), nutrient removing everything effort to get the tank pumping again! I'm going to try one of the lagoon blue Giesemann tubes as well instead of two pure actinics and I'm putting the new Radium bulb in too, in the next week or two lol

Either way, here's what I returned too :( Luckily it's only on the zoa rocks, even though it's hurting them it's not all over the tank!

Looking a little better now, hopefully better again after tomorrow and at the end of the week I'm starting the algaefix dosing again! Going to nuke this shit out of oblivion lol

On a more positive note, the zoa's have grown well!

Artistic top downs! Everything looks green though :( need some more blues, reds and those types of colours!

Man that Caulerpa looks like such a grind, hopefully the second round of algaefix will piss it off.
Mr Fire truck is complaining about having more reds in his tank! Haha

Looks great mate, a great small tank for me to take inspiration from.
