@revhtree , I think he went to a futbol game. Soccer?

Sorry I'm late :) It's been a day full of meetings. Now I'm back home in the sofa. So good evening!

Sallstrom here's a good one, maybe before your time, maybe. Monterey Aquarium at one time , was in newspapers, was planning a display of bioluminessence deep creatures in the dark zone. Has any Aquariums in world achieved that?
I've only seen a flashlight fish display, all dark with only the glowing dots from the fish. But that kind of bioluminessence display sounds cool!

So, no public aquariums display them?

Sallstrom, I guess no sliver to make Bud? Got home, chili coral ruptured at white Dot. We'll see what happens?

This is where I'm at:

Finally, we are at this point.

1. Because of tank design, had to figure getting thorough access to corals polyps. To feed efficiently.
Rotation of corals solved that.
2. Majority of polyps open.
3. Wait and see if corals grow and possible propagation.

A lot of patience

Yes, we're in the same situation. Wait a couple of weeks and see if they grow or shrink. A good think is that I'm off on holiday from tomorrow, three weeks :) So when I get back it might be a good time to decide if we should change the feeding regime or not. But my colleagues will send me updates and pictures :D

You know, if I could provide examples of yours and mine, water perimeters.
This is it:

Your water perimeters are like a reef that thrive.

Mine like a harbor where hopefully the water is good enough for corals to thrive. LOL

Two different extremities. Will see what happens.

Haha :) It's a bit unfair. We can use the 10000L reef as a refugium taking up all nutrients. And with that kind of volume and help from Triton Lab it's not that hard keeping the water okey :)

Serious now, I'm throwing you a curve, like we say in America, a surprise, even for me. I'm trying to make oysters spawn(using chillers), males especially for there sperm, to feed scleronephthya. How you like them apples.

Your scleronephthya have nothing on my scleronephthya. Heehee
