Thank you sir... little higher PAR, more flow and heavy feeding

Can you post a picture of yours for me please?

So everything the "experts" say not to do. I do agree that the best looking gonis I've seen were getting blasted by light and flow.
You're making me want to try them again.

I just thought of something....

It is really true. I think I finally found a hammer that has not immediately melted from my clownfish hosting it. I just hope it stays strong. I thought about changing my cube tank into an Anemone/Softie tank and moving the LPS over from there to my new display once its ready and let them go wild on some bubble tips and if it moved and murders the zoa's and soft corals so be it. I have frags of it already in other tanks but we shall see.

I am going to look up Porcupine Tree

Great band with a wide range and unique style. They've been around a while and I think you'd like them.

That's a good idea, I won't lie i've thought about throwing them back in the nano with an anemone and just not dealing with them anymore

Clownfish are not reef safe!

Porcupine Tree is another good one! I try to keep up with all the new stuff, along with older stuff (more uncommon or obscure stuff). It's a lot to keep up with every week, but I guess it's almost a hobby for me with how much music I listen to each year.

Sometimes I wish I got paid to research music and musicians. Lord knows I spend a ton of time doing it. It's my passion though, and would be lost without it lol

Meh, mine are hosted very happily by the feeding tube/port and the corner of the tank that the tube lives in. Although recently, as mating behaviors have begun, they have chosen my Setosa as their daytime host and now I have chunks of Setosa spread around my sand bed. Gentle they are definitely not!

Hosted by an sps!? Wow those are some menaces!

She likes pink, what can I say?

Classy lady!

What kind of par do you have your setosa in Tim? If I remember correctly, you have them in different spots and parameters around your tank? Mine is only a couple of inches beneath the water line in high par and flow. It's very bright red with the new growth being a hot pink/orange. The new growth is also almost a plating structure.

It is beautiful here today! Very hard to come back inside after my lunchtime walk.

@Rocks reef, unfortunately it looks like it will be several days before I can print your power brick holder. The A1 is a really good printer and it has only had two failed prints. Yours was the second. The A1 has a really lousy camera and no spaghetti detection. I've gotten a little complacent since it always just works. Anyway I went up to get a look at your print as it didn't look right through the camera.

Here is the heating element/nozzle:

That black is your power brick holder. The little sliver of silver at the top middle of the black is the release latch for the nozzle. I have spare nozzles but it will take a while to dig the clip out of the PETG and it looks like I may have to replace a couple other parts. Bambu does ship quickly but I need to get it apart first to see what all it needs.

Here is what the nozzle should look like:

--edit-- for those that know what this should look like, this is what is under the silicone sleeve. The silicone sleeve came off easily and is fine.

I think a lot of people just regurgitate information, whether accurate or not, rather than speaking from personal experience.

I tell you what, I trust more people here in the Smorg than I do most other members. We all have tanks, have gone through mistakes, battled the same pests... and are able to share and give solid advice.

I will Amanda. I'll look through my phone for some pics.

I will pay for the new nozzle Tom

Steven.... with a "v", unlike those "ph"s that think they're better than us!

Thank you Steven, great alias! Don’t let the Stephens get you down, they are snobs! Driving around in Polo shirts with sweater sleeves tide around there necks driving their convertible BMW’s!
