Hemmdog’s 90gal Seaciety and 40gal Vale of Shadows

I’m so not a visionary when it comes to interior decorating and that is what I feel this is like. I do like the colors of the sps and the flow of the euphyllia so some good balance between movement and color.

I hear that. Sounds nice

Oh I see. Well idk if you can tell from pics but this is my dining room illumination only from the tank.

So yea.. fairly bright lol. Don’t mind the clutter.. reefing stuff.. +1 my printer lol.

That’s awesome, it looks like the reef is floating in the picture, well done sir !

Imo it's like landscaping. That's how I break it down

Thank you so much for this. I'm sure it won't be stuck in my head now

Nicee. Random Q but if you touch those are they super squishy all over or prickly on the ends? Looks like a unique texture.
They remind me of these. Hopefully less prickly.

Evidence that miracles do happen. Never throw away your dead! (Only apply that mentality to coral )

Not as firm as that, like a leather coral.

If you look on Liveaquaria they are listed in with the leathers.

Nice, they are nps though right?

Wow, the water is crystal clear. How did you do that?

Thank you I can’t pin point it to one specific thing, but I run a skimmer rated for a 180 on the 90, 110 total volume. I run chemipure elite & blue media bags after the baffle in my sump. I have a fuge with caulerpa and chaeto on a reverse photoperiod of the display. I dose a very small amount of Nopox daily. I also am pretty ocd about cleaning my glass no water changes though!

Yes, I have done a lot of observing since I got the gorgs, these are my observations!

The polyps are nearly identical on a goni and a dendro.
They are feathery, the easiest way to describe what I mean is think of each polyp as being like a micro nem!
I target feed the dendros daily, pumps ON, either a liquid food or reef roids.
After I figured the flow out by them I just slowly release the food into the water right next to them so it flows over and around them, the gorgs are down flow so also get fed.

Correction: the tropic marin pro is why my water is sooo crystal clear! lol ;Hilarious

 

[mattzang]

your water is super clear tho!

did you do anything special with the pink lemonade? dips or anything?

i've had a couple of acros kinda die off like that. not RTN, but it was overnight. they have a different bleached look to them than RTN. i've left all of those in the tank hoping for a miracle lol
