Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[sfin52]

A couple of the leathers look like theyre leaning. they hate bright light

Would a 25%drop in white cause the nem to move. It's very happy in that spot.

Suggestions?

They are leaning because the light just came on. The other is because it's sitting on the very edge of the rock. It got knocked over and attached that way.

Thanks the top one may be getting way to much since it has grown. It has more than tripped in size.

Any suggestions

Either it a little or try that slight white reduction.

Should I try dropping a little at a time or in one shot. It's attached to a 7lbs rock. That rock is a main rock in structure. So dropping light is the only option.

Yes - gradual until it appears super happy

Wow thanks for bringing that to my attention. My whites got bumped up to 75%

Go 40-45% and see how the coral respond and how you like effect.

That's the end goal. I think I'll do that over a couple weeks. Or can I do that now with out any ill effects. I was thinking that I had to lower slowly.

Youre turning down. . . should have any effects. Turning up will. You can manually ramp it down slowly also

Thanks. I'll do that. I have no idea how it got bumped up like that.

 

[sfin52]

Dropped it back to 42. The leathers have responded. Gsp, Xenia and leathers look better

 

[Why-Me]

I cleaned the 20 gal I just transferred from and just did a 25% water change on the 40b everything going well, new tank uglies as to be expected that's it.

Well, my pics of the coral farmers market weren't worth posting but here are some of my haul. It was a beautiful venue at the Marriott a block from Apples headquarters. It was a great show!
From left to right Pectina, bubble gum digi, mystic monti, cyphastrea, utter chaos, and acan. I did not expect vendors to make such good deals. I spent 90 bucks on frags. Reef nutrition was handing out small bottles of pods and some tdo pellets that I am saving for @dantimdad

 

[12gallonsofhex]

Btw, those Kessil A700 lights that most of the vendors were using really make the coral pop.

Love the Pectina and the Acans! Makes me want to order some coral right now.

I didn't find the one thing I went for. I have been on the lookout for a brightly colored platygyra, maze brain, but most of the vendors said they aren't popular so few have them in growouts. I am very happy with the new critters though. Now I have to find room for them. Lol.

All coral goes in phases. Soon it will be something else
