¡ Viva la revolución!
Pepino, its doing better still a long way to go to what i envision but im working on it.
Reef-nut, I love rics too, sadly i sold my 29g biocube which was all softies and had all my prize stuff in it. Cool thing is i sold it to my neighbor on the condition that i get 1 frag of everything i want out of it for helping him take care of it while he learns about stuff, plus i sold it for less than the rock cost that was in it. No big deal though, i go look at it at least once every other day and i have plenty of frags comin. :xd:
Tank update:
I took my nana colony and the tableing mille colony and gave them to a club member, was getting tough keeping up with their growth rate in my small tank, it just did not look like i wanted it too with the stuff in there and it drives me mad to see a coral that looks like it has been logged out, i just like to see em grow! I am getting alge in check, parameters always seem in check so im going to blame the bulbs and the overload of fish(food) going in as the main source for the alge. I am down to 6 fish now and have cut back feeding ten fold, i never add any selcon or aminos to the foods anymore and wont untill i feel it is needed. I am still doing large water changes and i have a reactor full of carbon and im also running 90 grams of phosar hc in a tlf reactor. When i decided to tackle the issue of the alge and brown corals i think i went a little too fast, a combo of 2 carbon reactors, 200g of phosar and changing out 60 gallons of water was not the smartest thing i could have done, a few sps got upset and are showing me some stress but the majority seem to appreciate my efforts, im wondering if i was not running the flow to the medias too fast and grinding them into powder wich settled on some corals? I run the output from the reactors through a 10 micron sock and i turned it solid black. I have since slowed down on the flow and the socks are staying white.
Some pics from today, i want to put a background on the tank but im not sure what color. I tired letting it cover in coraline and it worked for a while but eveuntally looked nasty to me.
fts
figure ill show off my monties they are doing good for me right now.
baby blue polyp cap on left purple on right
sweet green with lime/white polyps on right, purple again too
leng sy(no lineage, but was given to me as)
deep blue polyps, grows insane, i have to cut it back weekly from this acro next to it
an orange unknown, this is one of the sps that got a little upset with me. Its very slow to grow but has been steady since i aquired a tiny little piece wich you can see in the middle of the disk its covering, any id ideas, i know its small the stuff was branching(sorta) where i got it from but its done nothing but encrust for me.
Let me know what ya think.
