00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Tell me the name again? Are they pretty easy to keep?

Cynarina! Yes, they are very hardy, you can spot feed these guys and they love to eat! These are very peaceful, my green one will actually inflate itself and let the crabs and snails clean under it. The colors have grown more beautiful as I've had them. My two are on the sand bed in about 80 to 100 par.

Amanda, how many days has it been since you added ReefFlux?

Added it on the 7th so if you count the 7th it would be 6 days.

 

[Calmwaters]

That's dumb. Thanks for letting me know

That's the policy all the places I have ordered from has.

I wish someone local had a par meter, I don't want to buy one :grinning-face-with-sweat:

And I realized after hitting send that that's likely not a Favia but a Plesiastrea or something I suppose. I'd still give them a little space between them.

Sold as goniastrea, but who knows. I call them all favias too lol

Keep us updated.

I think the gha is looking lighter like its starting to turn white but it could just be my imagination/wishful thinking...

I think some places rent them like BRS.

Goniastrea makes sense. Definitely not a Favia.

Yea, probably ought to bite the bullet on that one. It'd just be nice to have one available in case I change lights/settings etc. I suppose before i get corals I can just set my lights up for every intensity imaginable and make a bunch of charts :grinning-face-with-sweat:

I set my tank up in 2023 with Marco rock, “live sand”, a load of pods, and some starter bacteria. If I were to do it again, I would have tried to get at least half the rock from an established tank that was being torn down or some water.

I let the algae train roll on for almost a full year before it settled down. I had a massive bubble algae issue, solved with a mess of emerald and pitho crabs, Mexican turbos, tuxedo urchins, and a fox face. GHA was solved by the turbos and tang. Cyan was solved by keeping phos and nitrates in check.

Pods definitely help, I need to add a lot more. And some amphioods.

I been looking at getting more pods. I have a population of 1 or 2 varieties but I want some slightly larger ones as these are all super uber tiny ones

First picture is today second is before adding the reef flux. Not really sure if I see a difference...

@tbrown any thing from Alycia?

I really hope they still give it to you.

There's discrepancies?

He was a Supporter when he won but it expired since then.

I think you shouldn't worry because if you weren't a supporter member at the time you couldn't participate in the thread. What worries me is that you have a limit to claim, I think.

Still 11:28 here lol

Should still be ok as long as he messaged her before time was up.

 

[Calmwaters]

If the GHA doesn't start to die should I treat again with the reef flux?

 

[luis angel]

Can everyone do me a favor? Can we all post a full tank shot of your tanks as they are today? I know i could probably go back and look through all the tank builds for each of you which I did but it takes a really long time. Lol you have all seem mine just yesterday in my build thread but I will post mine to start with.

Right now since my lights come on at 2pm

A couple of days ago

If it doesn't start to die it means there's something else feeding it and another dose may or may not work.
