[jonelder68]

Guys. This is not a drill.

I got this acro (for the contest) ONE WEEK AGO!!!

Look at the plug. The branches. Ooohhh. This is gonna be good.

I’ve got a great spot for that branch growth frag wow! I wish!

I hope this is not true as I am reducing my PO4 right now and I already can’t keep up with its growth…
Peninsulas are a… PITA

I have no idea if it’s true. Maybe it’s just my imagination. lol

What’s your PO₄? Where are you lowering it from?

Notice a change in coral growth rates or just coraline?

Growth was good. Corals still look very happy now and my phosphate tested at 0.15 ppm which I’m leaving as my general target.

Wow beautiful tank, beautiful clams

Honestly? The growth has never been better with the higher levels. I’m not sure if it’s due to the elevated nutrients or maybe my proprietary grow-out food source. In any case, I’m ready to win. lol

Proprietary food source?!? As in Miami Special Grow Juice?

Win a couple more contests and you’ll have a business on your hands.

Haha. We’ll see. I’m pretty excited. As for the coralline growth.

I added these dry rocks in July 13th

July 26th

Here they are today:

I bought soft corals today. Toadstool leathers and a carnation coral (dendronephthya). I think the toadstools look hilarious right now, like saggy, wilted mushrooms. Do you believe these toadstools are easy to keep?

Beautiful nephthya!

Beautiful nephthya!

Thank you! I want to start getting into NPS. I have a recessed section that’s completely shaded, and I can’t grow anything in it. I’d like to add really nice looking NPS there.

Keep us in the loop, curios to see how it fares long term! Where did you pick up that delightful specimen?

My LFS. They have a few really pretty NPS. I’m really excited about this new era.

Toadstools opened up. I love them.

Now get some willows

 

[Miami Reef]

Now get some willows

Are willows like toadstools but with longer polyps?

 

[Miami Reef]

Oh, looks like they are! I didn’t know that. I’m not a softie guy.

These are some goodies I was able to snag yesterday for a good deal.

I've always wanted a yellow finger gorgonian. GL with it.

I had an STN event earlier this year, and the pink Cadillac had it worse. I would have chopped down that whole coral long ago, but I have 2 maxima clams on top. I’ll move the clams and get it done today; it’s too ugly.
