Moving fast Bob.
I'd be really worried about those idols.
But the corals look fantastic. Adam

Adam's worried about the idols so you better give them to him to be safe...

Changed out the carbon & GFO from the reactors last night.
Also ran a full battery of water tests:
SG = 1.0255
temp = 75.7 - 77.0 F ( 24 hr max swing)
pH = 8.2
dKH = 9.4
Ca = 390ppm (I dosed some calcium after testing)
Mg = 1450ppm
nH3 = 0ppm
nO2 = 0ppm
nO3 = 0ppm
pO4 = 0.03ppm
Cu = 0ppm
I think it fair to say that, after running 72 days there was no measureable longer - term 'cycle' on this system. nH3 peaked @ less than 2 ppm on day 5 - and was again 0ppm by evening on day 6 - nO3 peaked at 10ppm on day 28 and was only above 0ppm for 4 days...
The Idols are eating mysis, brine shrimp, Emerald Entree, LRS Reef Frenzy. The larger one (female) also takes Spectrum pellets. I have been leaving a 1/2 sheet of Nori hanging to encourage grazing.

Another week and still looking good.
Tests were all same results w/ following exceptions:
Ca = 420ppm (up from 390ppm last week)
pO4 = 0.02ppm (down from 0.03ppm last week)
Took a bunch of photos on Saturday 05 / 16 - Day 78 of the new 150g Reef:

Sunday, I took a little drive up to Bird World / Pet Village in Bountiful just to check things out.
Found this little beaut while I was there:
Now, black is not a color you see too often in a reef; so when the opportunity presented itself I had to grab
this sweet 3" Black Ultra Maxima clam from Doug 
Here it is, getting all cozy next to its big brother the 6" Gold Maxima:

Been awhile; tank has changed somewhat...
Took out a whole section of live rock a few months back. Took a couple of random shots this afternoon -
