my new baby... AKA The Café

The reason I don't like sticks. They can take that po4 and die!

Edit: Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

.21 and my sticks do fine lol. Helps to have 50 nitrates and an all of 13 lol. If one is high, make them all high lol.

I may get a solar flare than and a pc rainbow! I love posts like this! Makes my morning and coffee so much better.

This afternoon, I need to contact seneye and see if my reader is faulty. I am reading so many reports on the seneye v2 having false par readings because of blue light. I am so not happy.

But, also, it matches the par readings of the orbit light par map.. So it's why I didn't question it. ARGH.

I tired the lets keep it at .03 to .08 and nitrates at 10. Had to dose the tank for nutrients for a while at one point. Then decided to just feed whatever the tangs wanted to eat and be done with it. If the SPS had issues, I had a cleaner tank to move them to. They did fine. Growth slowed a bit for a while and then they started taking off and growing like weeds. Colors could be better, do not get me wrong. They are not pale, but some of the highlights they had before just are not there anymore. Like slight noticeable highlights, not like a full loss of a highlight, if that makes sense.

The highlights are just a bonus. I like the chalice corals for more of that glitter. I have a green slimer. Looking at it is like looking at glittery green vomit.... I would need to maybe add a wave maker for some extra flow for the sps if I go that route. I will see in another month if my slimer holds up.

The highlights I refer to are, like you said, a bonus. In the pic below, this used to have like a small blue ring right below the growth tip. It is now a muted blue that the phone just doesn't pick up very well.

To me, this is still on of my favorite corals. It is a no name wild one, but the PE on this thing is nuts 90% of the time.

I can see what you are talking about. My bta is no different along with the hellfire torch I have. There are somethings cameras don't show well. But I know how to look for it. I love that clam next to that colony. My fox and cbb would munch on it all day sadly.

That clam is an annoyance. I am almost 250 par on the sand bed, where it used to live. It kept trying to climb the rock and then would fall. Fell into my forest fire colony and broke it to pieces. So out of spite, I was like "You want more light, here is more light" and placed it next to that colony up top (624 par from MH) and it thrived lol. What a terd of a clam.

Mine is sitting in the very top of my tank as well, well over 800 par in that area. Whatever, as long as it's happy I guess....

Tank looks incredible. However, that’s almost 3 hours away from me. :/

Would love a 170 rimless though. ;Greedy

($650 is also a killer deal)

Actually, if I actually had the money for it, I would arrange for him to drive halfway or something, because that’s an awesome tank. (After doing research on it, the tank/stand/sump is worth around $1.1k, and that’s JUST that!)

Thats not true. If you want some easy sticks look at the digi. Po .25 nitrate api 180 it was red as red as the test would go.
The digi have tripped in size in less than a year.

If you can swing it James definitely go for it. Maybe make some sort of deal with the parentals. If not, hang in there and wait for another good deal locally.

I did digi's and got a new frag last week. Digitata grows like a weed. I have an old picture somewhere of my reds. The branches were extremely thick.
I had more pictures. I lost a lot of them from old hard drives burning out.



Those green shrooms on the far left, were murderers of many other shrooms. and the paly under the leather, killed many other zoas and palythoa.

First cup of coffee and the lady walks into my office. Gave me a hug and says " I really think you could have gone with the 8 for long tank if you wanted. This one doesn't even fill up the wall"


I just can't..

I TOLD YOU! Sometimes I hate being right...

 

[F i s h y]

Yeah but divorces are expensive.

Very true... but if you throw enough money at a problem you can make it go away.
