Wow, very puffy and healthy looking Euphyllias, props to you ! What does your maintenance look like ? Sand looks cleanI began adding at about 3 months, all one head now 5-6 except for my NY Knicks and orange tipped frogspawn which I fragged two heads each last month. As stated above moderate light and flow. My tank runs with higher nitrates and phosphate then what was recommended above.
Healthy looking acros!Oh they are fine....not that I am recommending this but it usually what I do(lack of planning and patience lol). That system was a large shallow vat about 30"x"70. Set it up and on third day it was full of coral. Below is a more recent pic, but all these acro colonies were the first inhabitants. They were transhipped and I did lose 2 colonies in the first week but none since. The ones lost I believe was about shipping stress more than anything cause they all came in rough shape.
Thank you, I do weekly 12.5% water changes, but what keeps my sand clean is my diamond watchman goby, 4 nassarius snails and a tiger conch. I never have to vacuum.
my stupid clowns cant leave the frag rack be
Gonis but they also love my duncans
looks good i would really like to see a vid of how much flow you have in there... i have heaps and they are a rockin but seem ok... be nice to see a comprison cheersEuphyllia [or any reef] stable parameters is the biggest key (I know that can feel like an overused term in reefing but it’s the biggest truth their is) There’s plenty of examples of happy torches, hammers, frogspawns, in every type of system from those running .2-.3 PO4 and 30-50 NO3 all the way down to “ULNS”. Let your system and maintenance routine find it’s sweet spot and run with it as long as everything’s looking happy.
Melafix Marine is my dip of choice for Euphyllia. It doesn’t seem to be nearly as harsh on the coral as others I’ve used over the years.
I have the Euphyllia Addiction too!
If you’re on Instagram there’s tons of videos of my system on my AK_Reefs profile. Not sure how to upload vid on R2R without a YT link.
