Flippers reef 125 gallon

[Flippers4pups]

Been messing with my new iPhone 11 camera and it settings to see if I could get better pictures with it than my old phone.

It’s definitely an improvement.

Great pics. How long has that red monti been there towards the bottom?

Thanks, closer to what I see when looking at the tank. The red one on the rock at the sand bed, I’m not quite sure could be a year maybe two.

Pics looks good with your new phone. Of course it helps when you have a good looking tank like yours.

Any idea why your growth is so slow?

I’m not quite sure. It should have taken over the entire tank by now! ;Shamefullyembarrased;Joyful;Hilarious

Glad to have helped you!! Makes me happy to help fellow hobbyists! Always a pleasure seeing you!

They will grow into large toadstools soon enough! Keep me posted on how they are doing!

Man what a weekend! I sold all the toadstool frags I had and sold some birdsnest, Pocillipora, candy cane......

Even sold a toad to Remy from Bahama Llama coral YouTube channel. A local Youtuber. Check him out and if you like his channel, hit the “subscribe” and the like “button” and the bell!

Hi, my name is Remy and I like coral. I've decided to devote this channel to my love of the hobby and everything that surrounds it. The channel started back ...

Maybe we will see it on his channel!

We met up at a local LFS “The corner reef”.

So........ I had to buy something from them and picked up a “fire” Goniopora!

Thanks to Steve at The Corner Reef!

Don,
Was wondering where you have your wavemakers located and how high.
Working on the flow in my DT. Starting to have cyno appear in spots on my rocks.
I don't have the coral like you. Tank has been running for 7 months.
I have (2) RW15'S in the middle on each end 5" down from the top pointed at each other ~ 4" from top of the aquascape. Two returns in each back corner pointed to the front middle of tank.
I have flow around my aquascape at the bottom, I can see little swirls.

I just replaced one of my RW15’s, as it had finally died after 5 years. The JB wave controller looks to be not working either. So I’m just running them all with the Jebao controllers at the lowest speed for now. Since I’m home now, I’m going to attempt to master/slave them.

I have them at each end of the tank facing each other, pointed at the water surface about three inches from the waterline.

Update: Corals are doing great! I was able to synchronize the Jebao’ and I like the chaotic flow, so do the corals!

Water change soon. Water is made and ready.

I’m going to go DIY for phosphate. Was watching a Youtuber “telegraham” live stream making it. Food grade trisodium phosphate. Way cheaper! This will happen!

Going to pull the trigger on a clip on filter for my iPhone soon.

My corals the wife ordered from Yourreef will be shipping soon. I will do my best to take some pictures of them after they settle.

I have mine running master/slave in mode 'C', which is p1 runs, stops, p2 runs, stops. Both stops for few seconds then both runs, then repeats.
Thanks
