There really needs to be a drool emoji
A few more newbies and some colonies pics.. enjoy :)
I'll be tracking their growth here.

I was hoping someone would know the names on the ones I've forgotten. I bought them before getting into the naming game.. lol..

Amazing tank! No surprise as the frags I got from you were stellar :)

Do you have a preference g4 vs g5?
Thanks Matt :)
Not sure tbh.. my frag tank does have G5 Pros but the grow outs are coloring up and growing at normal rate..lol.. nothing too special.
I do believe that the T5s make a difference though.

It's been a while :)

I've been quite busy merging everything into one system. I think everything is finally settled down in the past few weeks.
I was battling all kinds of new tank syndromes during the upgrade: cyano, dino, GHA, nutrients fluctuations. Luckily, the majority of my grow-outs and colonies stayed strong and endured through.

Some of the dead ones (RIP) that worth mentioning were the SCOP, homewrecker, and confetti colonies. Most of my tenuis were the ones most affected, and they stayed dormant for a couple months. A few small frags STNed, and I ended up with struggling cut portions.

I didn't want to resort to quick fix methods. I just let nature took it course. All the sudden, everything just cleared out.

All in all, it has been great few months. Most of them have been growing and I have been fragging. I also added some cool stuff the collections. I'll start documenting all their growth here again.

Wow, you have an amazing collection! Can I ask how much PAR you're keeping your RC Poison Envy at? Mine refuses to get that red.

Thanks I've been moving the poison envy around. It's settled in around 350-400 par now. I don't think it needs high light to bring out the color, but mine was green for a little while until it gets acclimated..

Thanks, that's reassuring. I think that's right where mine is sitting. Growing really well, but just green with yellow tips. Guess I'll keep waiting and hope it colors up!

Yeah it does that. My RR Firecraker is like that too. It was gaining more red, now it's back to green. They're moody
