Bubba's SPS Journey

[Birddog]

I use tilapia, shrimp and scallops and sometimes I add clams.
I go to the grocery store to the seafood counter and ask for the stuff I want. I go home and put it in a blender and blend it until it's the texture I want. Put it in a ziplock until frozen and then I chop it up to cubes. It turns out to be about a 1/4 of the cost if I bought it already made.

Thank you sir!

You can also add spirulina, seaweeds, phyto, selcon, selco boost, black worms, All kinds of goodies.

Salmon also does contain a ton of fats. May or may not be healthy for our fish I have no idea on that.

I have two JF Fox flames, one in my display and one in a frag tank. The one in my display has done nothing but encrust a 5" area. The one in my frag tank is starting to look pretty good, I just need it to grow.

Can we play a guessing game, lol? I bought the coral below as a certain coral but it has never looked like it for me. I always thought I was just horrible at coloring it up. After I received a different coral recently I am almost certain they are the same thing.

Can anyone guess what this is?

Green Slimer?

Thank you sir. Not bad for po4 on my frag tank of 1.16 rofl! You would probably cry if you saw that number on your tank lol.

That high? That seems crazy lol. Mines raised up to .35 and I agree with bubba, my system doesn’t agree with it. Coral have been losing some of their color and with my angels picking at them they seem even more upset.

not going to bring this to off topic levels but yet its that high.. now granted today i have bought some gfo for both tanks but as I confirmed the make up water running out of my 54" x 10" DI canister registers 0.00 on Hannah

Just fyi you can't accurately test phosphate in rodi water with a hanna. Not sure about ATI ICP.

Sorry.. to confirm it’s 0.00 in fresh makeup water 1.026

Don't let the sps bug bite you or you are going to become addicted, lol. If you ever want to start that addiction, let me know and I am sure I can get you started with something.
