Let’s compare Walt Disneys

[WetSleeve]

Hey fellas.
I’m interested in seeing Bree different colours everybody is pulling out of Walt disneys acropora.

these pieces tend to change greatly from tank to tank, mine is mostly pulling yellows and traces of pinks and greens in the flesh. Picture posted below.

i keep it in 350-375 PAR, lighting set up is XR15s with T5 hybrid using Blue+ bulbs
Dosing 2part and Ab+

calcium 440
Alkalinity 8.3
Mag 1400
I try to keep my No3 at 5-10PPM but sometimes I forget to dose and it dips lower.
po4 I try to maintain 0.05-0.08 but again sometimes forget to dose and it dips lower.



Curious to see your pieces, feel free to post perams!

 

[BYU]

nitrates 2-5
phosphates 0.03
alk 7.5-8
radion xr30 blues ab+
t5 blue plus supplements
getting 400 par
second frag is getting more par

Got a frag a few months ago, encrusting on my rack, but mostly just green. I do run T5's with reefbrights. Not sure the par as it's on the side of the tank. I'll grab a pic......

Parameters:
ALK - 7.5
CAL - 450
MAG -1350
Phosphates - 0.15
Nitrates - 15
Salinity - 1.026
Temp 78 - 80

Mine is mostly green. When the halides go off the 2 or3 light bars bring some color.
Mid tank high par. 2 250 watt de 14k with 1 or3 blue plus 1 or3 blue sky.
High random flow.
Parameters in my 120
Temp 77-80
SG 1.0265
Alk 8
Ca 410
Mag 1350
Po4<.1
No3<5

Love that teal stag!

Love that teal stag!

Its hard to get a good pic of the WD as its in the middle of the tank.
The stag is a surf&turf.

Know what im
Really liking so far, that you guys are running nutrients…

locally theirs so many people that think nitrate and phosphate are the enemy.

This one is in my DT, under blues

This one is one of my grow out colonies under daylight settings

And were all right around the same ballpark, that amazes me.

Thank you for the kind words!

Yeah! Pretty neat tbh.
I have a local friend who keeps ULN and he’s always complaining about pale colouration..whenever I mention the lack of nutrients his justification is that he’s dosing trace elements and aminos but evidently not enough.

I’ll convince him to stop starving his sps some day!

some of the brightest acros I’ve seen have come from tanks people would deem “to dirty” but really if you’re giving the specimen everything it needs and alkalinity is high enough to counter the nutrients theirs really no problems with nutrients…always come down to stability with these glorious specimens.

I also dose trace elements and amino acids on top of the high nutrients. As long as phosphate doesn't get crazy high, you're good. Easier to fall into danger level nutrients when you run a ULNS in my experience than it is to burn everything with high nutrients. Struggled for a long time to keep nitrates around 5 and phosphate at .04 and killed more stuff that way than anything else I've done to my tanks lol. Some of the stuff I grew from tiny frags in my DT with 50 nitrate and about .1 phosphate. Under daylights. Every tank is different though.
