Heh, well that's that! Your electric bill must be insane already.

Not really. It's just a little under $300 a month. It's the gas bill for the heater that's high. Over $400 a month.

Selling anything yet?

Selling anything yet?

Oh yes, locally. Just timing my vendor sponsorship here since I'm no longer in the hobbyist category. Just fine tuning the acros. Going to order 10 Radion Pro G3 next week. The MarsAqua works but not good enough for me anyways.

Borbonius Anthias.

I wish you could manage sometime to capture these guys more clearly. They look very interesting. I've never seen a fish like this before.
I like below the radar, different, not-your-every-day-livestock kind of fish.

Too late. Those are sold and gone. You can google it and find more pictures.

Updates?!

Updates?!

Been busy lately. Too many things going on. Well I got my Radion G3 Pros and still playing around with the spectrum. Have about 5 acro colonies lose its color and turned a little brown but for most it looks good. I guess they are adjusting to the new light.

 

[Reefer93105]

Just some of the livestock I have at the shop. I have many more especially acros.
I'm planning to get 50 more large Indo acro colonies to play around with. Moved corals around to adjust to the new Radions and make more space for new colonies.
Also space for the livestock from the 300G at home. I want to take that tank apart and redo it.
Hopefully my GEO1218 calcium reactor can keep up with the stock.
Also considering making the fish system into a coral systems instead. It's such a pain to acclimate fish. I just don't have the patience for it. LOL

I also started to stock the softies tank.

Wow bro what monti is that in the first pic

I got that from a local reefer around 3 years ago. No idea what type of monti it is. It was a brown $5 frag. Slow grower and took almost a year to color up. Have to play around with placement to get it that color.

 

[Reefer93105]

10 Radion G3 Pros are up. Let's see if these improve color and growth more. Added 15 new acro colonies to the quarantine. On the list are W*F acro, TGC Starfire, TGC Evening Dress, Deep Water Suharsunoi that I was always looking for, 5 millies, and many others.

This build is epic!

May I ask where the acro colonies came from? I've been wanting to have more colonies then frags...

Australia, Indonesia, Fiji, and some are my collection as a hobbyist for many years.

I believe its a 'Montipora Palawanensis' .
A very sexy one at that

What's going on with this awesome project?!

 

[Reefer93105]

I'm still here. Fragging along whenever I get the chance. Getting ready for RAP in November. Just finished tuning the Radion schedule and spectrum for the acros. The SPS AB didn't work too good for my acros. Lost some color and I'm not sure if that setting is accurate in regards to PAR values. Also cooked a few rainbow chalice colonies while dialing in the Radions. Uggh.

Have to frag 300 more pieces to fill up my 8 foot shallow frag tank.



This acro colony turned all green under SPS AB but with my new settings the orange/purplish tips are coming back.

This colony is also doing very well under the new setting. Pink corralites are beginning to show.

Here are some that are coloring up nicely under my new Radion new schedule.

I'm impressed with your colors from the radions! I'd be curious to know more about your new settings. I am building a shallow frag tank and was planning to use the AB+ program.
