Tank 2
Alk tested in at 8.7 last night. I knew sometime right around day 5-7 I was going to get a little jump thats why I backed off fusion to 5ml day before.
Hit with 8ml A4R, no fusion. Looking for it to settle now.
Not expecting same kind of consumption as shroom lagoon. If I had to guess its going to settle in around 5-10 ml to maintain constant alk. Check it tonight and see where its at.
Shout out to @SawCJack00 and Epic Aquaculture. This goblin frag is beautiful. Pure representation of the straight chunky fire goodness that you post and show regularly. Didnt expect any different but was pleasently surprised when I dropped it in if anything it exceeding expectations man. Very nice!

If I ruin this frag I have no business playing with sticks of fire haha.

And some shrooms

 

[LRT]

Real quick before I forget.
Tank 2 8.5 alk
Hit with same 8ml A4R as yesterday. If it drops a bit more ill bump it to 10ml tomorrow.
Sticks not dead yet, looks good still

 

[LRT]

Took some pix. Everyone is super mad I just got done cleaning glass.
Didn't even think to look but looks like the stick had some polyps extending before I tore stuff up lol
Minecraft and Radioactive are in beast mode. Godzilla easily covers 3" disc now. Cant believe how fast its growing. I think mom walked far enough I can remove baby and glue to plug. Along with some blurples haha Need to get that done soon!

Anticipation is killing me ive had a cpl boxes hanging out there for few weeks now but looks like shipping delays have caught up and should be arriving tomorrow
Snagged a few collector zoas (I still don't see what the fuss is about but most don't understand my shroom obsession either haha)
I figure if the wife has to have them growing all over rocks we may as well make it worth while.
Besides the shroom the rest are literally testers to see how they do and get a few things dialed before I get what I really want.
I did pull the trigger on a finicky more challenging stick so we will see how it goes. Last thing I want is anyone rolling through here claiming this 24hr instacycled tank is full of easy stuff.
I'll give them this.
Throat punch son cup coral doesn't count being that it does nothing unless Alk is 100% locked in between 8-8.5. Neither do the shrooms that will melt and fly away unless exact par and flow requirements are met. We won't talk about the shrooms that just love and or hate Phosphates and how those params need to be balanced kept locked in to keep them all happy lol.
Saying that I won't even bring up magnesium lol
Anyhow this is more of a challenge for me honestly. I'm gearing up tank 2 to do the more challenging stuff. I just want to see if I can meet the requirements for certain corals while a meeting the demands for my Already finicky fussy ones that don't really count

Once you know the sticks are happy, check out Adam's inventory at Battlecorals if you haven't already. He's got some beautiful pieces.

As of now I've only been able to safely get 175 par on lagoon and was told the slimer needs 200. Im hoping it will be ok while I ramp tank 2 up and get it dialed. I bumped par on tank 2 to around 200 par today with 5 day acclimation. So hoping I dont screw this slimer up before it gets to forever home haha. If it doesn't die I may take a tip off just to say i got a stick in the lagoon.. maybe it will stay idk.
Flip side is I can easily do torches with the shrooms and start rocking tank 2 with crazy sticks. Battle boxes at the top of list for sure. Doesnt help having Epic Aquaculture literally 4 exits from one of my projects. Hes got 5 or 20 pieces im gonna snatch up before anything else haha

I'm pretty sure if you shoot him a message and ask for a box in your par range he'll make it work. He's a magician.

My tank has such a stupid range of par I can't believe it. If the seneye is to be trusted.

 

[LRT]

Forgot pix
Also Tank 2 dipped to 8.0 alk.
Bumped A4R to 15ml
Just don't want anymore downward movement. I can bump back up with a little fusion if need be.

[LRT]

Ah, gotcha. I’m sure it will take off in your magic tank! ;Woot;Wideyed

I was shocked looking back on the first picture of my digi, and then seeing it today... crazy the amount of growth over such a short period of time! ;Pompus
