Half tank shot

very nice.

Are you always gonna have them on the plugs like that so they cant encrust and have to branch out or are you just doing this with corals you are frequently selling so you can easily make frags. I wonder how the growth is on the way you have most of your frags on your rack compared to if you had them on a 3 inch tile and let them encrust

 

[thirst]

I’m growing these out out until they’re a decent size to go into my display.

For most of these pieces, they are on plugs since I recently just bought them. This is kind of like a qt tank and I like to dip all my corals for a while.

Went on a shopping spree earlier so it looks pretty full, but 75% of these frags were purchased in the like 2-4 months waiting to grow out.

@thirst could you post your tank parameters?? kH, Ca, Mg, No3, PO4...

Just wanted to update my jf progress, mine is nowhere as pretty and colorful as Thirst, he knows what he is doing. However this is my HR at 170 days in my tank.

I just sent my water to icp to get tested. When I get results i will post

 

[thirst]

Wow it’s been a while since I updated

Just left the hw alone

Been growing wider the last few months

 

[Danny_M5]

Brilliant.. [emoji898][emoji898][emoji898]

You never did post your parameters. Also are you using really high flow?

 

[thirst]

Sorry about that

Tank is a 48x24x20

For flow, I’ve got 1 6105
1 gyre 150
1x pp8

And a small return pump, so not huge flow

I only really test my alk, I keep it around 6.5-8

I dose some zeobak sp and start when I can, 1-2 times a week on the start

I dose some aminos, but it’s a pretty simple system

 

[thirst]

Some other sps

Took a close up of the insanity today

wow i can't believe it actually looks like that. Good to see a pic from a hobbyist. Puts things into perspective

 

[thirst]

This is how it looked when it grew up a bit

Brandon at vivid says their mother colony is developing rainbow polyps

 

[Rakie]

Hah, you have a lot of stuff I want someday. Tony mentioned quite a few gems you've got.

 

[NikoO]

I've been looking for a nice tenuis like the homewrecker, pretty in pink, or insanity - what's the going price for a frag?

 

[thirst]

It’s finally time to plumb my 750 and get it running.
It’s been running 1/2 filled with water, fish and rock for the past 6 months now I think.
