Thanks for taking the time to check everything out...its a long thread lol...sorry I dont post much about my tank...not really a huge equipment guy...I run an 8 bulb ATI T5 with 2 blue reefbright LEDS...bulb combo is 6 blue+ 1 coral+ and a fiji PURP...I have 3 mp40 and about to add the 4th one, I run them all on reef crest full blast...I have a huge ATB 1050 skimmer, GFO and a carbon reactor with BRS media...I use a bubble mag dosser and dose 2 part b ionc alk and cal...Tunze ATO..all controlled by an Apex controller...I keep a large amount of fish mainly anthais which I feed about 4-5 times a day random frozen food or pellets..they then in return feed my coral...years ago I would hand feed my LPS but I have way to much coral these days to do it and got burnt out (if you can it is good to feed a few times a week) my display is a custom 120 with a 40 breeder as a sump...I believe long term stability is the most important thing to keeping coral thriving...I do a 5 gallon water change about 3 times a week...I feel the smaller more frequent water changes create less swings and allows me to pull out all the un needed waist from feeding constantly...I like to run high nutrient import/export keeping my nitrates between 10-20 for best color...hope that answered some of your questions.
I am not a huge Favia gut but lately they are so nice they have been growing on me...I got this one from a buddy and had always loved his colony, when I stopped by the other night he had a frag and hooked it up :) ...if you can get it pick it up for sure...its a nice one...good luck!
Thanks!
Thanks! I am really digging the Orenji look alike a lot...its been one of those ones you stop and look at every time you pass the tank lol
Thanks bro!!!
yeah I just got it a few days ago...it was given to me by a buddy...he was like "here I know you can make this thing grow" lol...I was taking a pic of something next to it and snapped one of it while I was close...was surprised how much detail it had for being so small.
Thanks!!! that would be a lot of fun to be able to photograph a collection like yours...you NJ guys have a lot of heat over there :)
Wow! Blue is my favorite color in coral...and in most things for that matter. That is gorgeous! I want a frag if/when you frag it.I have a thing for blue corals with glowing eyes...hopefully the black around the eyes will start to show more...I need to get a top down of this one, you really cant see the black well from this angle
Thanks! I am really enjoying that one as it colors up :)
Yeah same here...something about blue and pink corals get me going...what you need to do is just come down here and hand pick from my collection :)
