Return of the PO4 remover

After testing the PO4 was 0.08ppm. Ideally it should be < 0.03ppm. Therefore, I DIY the FR for rowaphos after my canister filter(for running PURA carbon).

First SPS fragging

Accidental fragging aside, I have performed a fragging of the Fiji Turqouise birdsnest. I had to do so as the Maxima had adjusted itself into the position where its mantle touches the branch(which was fragged). Had tried to move the Maxima away several times but it kept moving back. Had observed that the mantle will retract whenever it touches the birdsnest polyps. I was worried the clam gets stung. 

The red circle indicates the point it was seperated from the mother colony. The orange arrow indicates the point the mantle of the clam that retracts. 

The tools used. Was bit messy. 

Waiting for the glue to dry. 

Frag returned to the display tank. 

Majority of the polyps had extended. Some mucus is observed.
