It's great you can get him out. Losing a loved one is so hard.

Hey party peeps, BC growout signups if you are interested. If you buy a battlebox he would even throw these in as freebies since they are all super common and a lot of people already have them. Spots are going fast!

I have no idea what to tell you to do to keep them alive but I wish you the best of luck my friend!

What can go wrong! I will just throw them in my new tank lol I probably have the par for them and so far all the corals I have put in there have been doing okay. That's about it though. I do need a doser as I really would prefer to not dose by hand. I did add some stuff in my tank today as well, I added a rock to create a second cave area behind one of the sections of the arch, moved some corals over from my cube tank and moved Larry & Sandy over to the new tank. Only the true OGs will know about Larry and Sandy. I also attached a piece of mesh to the lid in between the emergency overflow section and the Lid as I feel the opening was more than large enough for a fish to jump through.

Parameters seem to be doing well. The only thing I was a little sad about is I did not see the wrasse out and about today when I was home but I hear they like to stay in the sand a bit. Hopefully they will be out and about tommorow.

They definitely need some water, i can tell you that ;)

Its easier than you think, some of the easier acros are way easier than something like acans. Pump the light, pump the flow, dont starve them, and the pretty well grow themselves.

Well the good news is I got the light and the flow for sure with the ability to increase it if need be. My lights are at like 64% and put out like 350-450 par. I also have my two AI Orbit 4s only on around 15% pulsing in a 4 foot tank so its putting out like 5k GPH flow not including the returns and I can easily turn that up in a 4 foot long tank.

For the battle box do you usually go with the lowest amount of corals of the highest amount of corals. I see they have the $300 one and you can choose 4 or even 10. I think to avoid shipping I will get the $300 one but not sure...

 

[kingranch2003]

Heck yeah dude! Win or loose it is bound to be a good time!

Absolutely! Im really excited to build the battle box. Most the ones I liked are sold out, so Im just gonna give him some color guidelines and ask him to work his magic.

Totally up to you. If you opt for more, you'll get the more common stuff. If you go fewer, you get higher end stuff.

That is hands down the best way to approach this! All the ones i was like "surprise me" have always been better than ones i asked for specifics.
