It's Just a Tank

really like the new goniopora. I may need to move them to higher flow.

I dont think goniopora appreciate large amounts focused flow. Gently swaying of mass flow is better. These guys like a lot of the LPS are from more of a lagoon setting where its a large mass of water movement at low velocity, definately not reef crest type setting.

Looking good though!

The water flow at location, is hardly budging the polyps. The greens are doing very well with a medium flow. I'll give it a couple of days and see.

If you ever need to look at the tunze box wavemakers. I had on on my 125 which is a 6 foot tank and I could make a standing wave that would splash water out of the tank! That tank with metal halides.....mmmmmm beautiful. Still have the set up split between my house and office. The softies and euphyilla were mesmerizing. I think it is the perfect setup for everything except maybe SPS. But that was 13 to 14 years ago, I wasnt mature enough or smart enough at the time to keep SPS.

I won't be getting into demanding acropora. Just the much more simple sps.
I've kept a small red colony of goni before. They can be picky. If I need a wave maker, I will. For now everyone is flowing alright, except those 2 new goni. It could just be them adjusting.

low to med light ,agree countering low to med flow.
don't leave up high ,in hopes..better safe than sorry.

The new crappy orbit ic and marine thing. Definitely not the problem. Those were much better designed.from what I seen. And discontinued

That acro looks fire.

I only have 1 acro and it's green.

When someone says “that’s fire” it means they think it looks super cool, awesome, sick, wicked, etc… :cool:

I know, it used to be "killer" back in the early 90's Just saying my green slimer isn't very fire.

It's been nearly 2 months since my little colony of magician palys stopped opening up. Due to being munched on. They just started to open up a few days ago. I was sure they were goners. They lost a lot of color, but I am sure it will come back.

Current fts for now. I may rearrange the live rock, eventually.

On subject of paly's,i bought a small 14 head orange zoa frag and lfs threw what they said was neon green paly's,i just looked at them after not being in house for a week and theres 2 heads and one moved off the frag plug and one nearly off and they was 100% on top off the plug,and now one on edge and one loojs like off buf cant get full picture unless take rock out tank,i do notice they always open and dont shut at night like the orange zoa,let me try find a old picture and take new picture and see if you think is a neon green paly or not,the heads are twice the size if not bigger as tje little orange zoa's i got.i will edit picture in a couple minutes or so.

Edit: sorry so many pictures,trying take new pictures and screenshot some old pictures and getting confused whats what lol.
Picture on frag whilst dipping clearly shows both on top part of frag plug and then some whilst they open in tank ( think the 2 pics with cbb in shot) and some recent ones where base looks bigger on one at right side and one behind looks like completely off top part of the plug so it definately moved as i not moved it .

I believe those are green nuclear death palythoas. Orange ones i don't know.

And they can actually move by their selfs ?

I know they branch off along the surface of the rock and grow a new head and all are connected but these 2 heads arent connected and both moved,granted one only moved like 2 cm and one moved about 1 cm but still defo moved.just tried doing quick google but nothing showing up so far but im really curious so will look for days to find one answer sometimes lol

They can detach and roll with the flow and attach to a new surface. Not really much on their own.

The orange zoas aren't in any of pictures above i dont think but they just basic orange zoas to me,havent bought into all the names yet so just orange zoa ha ha

Also, make sure they aren't being blasted by power heads. Something could be irritating them, causing them to detach. Hermits, fish, high water flow, sometimes infection on the base. I don't think this is the case. Especially since it found a new home.

Maybe just as base got more inflated it appears to have moved to hanging over the edge like in these 2 pictures below and as it inflating then deflating it slowly moved a little tiny bit each time.

And as for always open ,is this saying to me they hungry and trying catch small particles in water or telling me they dont taste nice to fish or even toxic so at night time they dont need to close as no fish will eat them kind of thing ?
I know if hermits climb over them they close and half closed at moment which dont see that often really.

Edit: sorry forgot to add 2 pics,first is on frag plug fully and second it hanging off edge off same frag plug but base alot more puffed up and larger
