Beautiful. I am looking forward to getting a chance to try them again. Po4 spiralled out of control and that was the end.

Ur 4 month progression on the favia is impressive. Thanks for sharing.

In other news: Everything in my nano Biocube has been very angry since I stripped the tank of most of its inhabitants, everyone that is except for my hairy mushrooms.

If you remember earlier in my build thread before I removed them from my 40 I was having issues with some corals but I wasn’t 100% sure the hairy mushrooms where causing the problems.. I’m now feeling more confident they where the culprit, they must be conducting some really nasty chemical warfare ;Dead


Notice the funky deformed Duncan’s and my giant toadstool leather hasn’t opened in 6 weeks since introducing the mushrooms :mad:

by RKL do you mean reef keeper lite?

If so where did you find it?

I am going to give this controller a try. Hopefully next time it is instock at i will be able to buy it. It has come back a few times.

Yeah it’s a Reef Keeper Lite.. doubt you will find a new one at this point but lots of used units floating around.. I found mine here on R2R used for $125 and I was also able to find new probes and float switch’s to complete the system.

Upgraded my $8 ATO container to a custom $9 Walmart ATO container :D The smaller one I was filling every other day, looks like this one should last about a week.

I was using a 5 gal bucket but had just enough room to upgrade to a 10g glass tank. Now I forget to refill it.

lol.. I do the same thing, I have a large ATO container on my Biocube that last about 2 weeks but it’s hidden in another room and I’m constantly forgetting to refill it ;Facepalm with this build everything is out in the open right under tank so it’s easier to keep up with.

Experienced reefing problems. [emoji28] I remember when I would dump 1/2 gallon 2 times a day in a 55g I had 8 years ago.

Want one?

I have one. Some probes. 3 outlet bars. net module. I think a breakout box.

I have been going through all my storage reef boxes today taking inventory

Everything is looking very nice. Very cool seeing progression pictures of the corals
Do you spot feed your Goni?

Thanks Crabby! I do occasionally spot feed them, my neon green one eats like crazy but the pink one doesn’t seem to like it much.

Any pictures on your control board

Haven’t had a chance to start on it yet but I will have all the details and pictures right here in my build thread when I do.. thanks for stopping by :)
