RR Orange Passion Colonies

[luke33]

I have SC OP which I think has more green and blue and i need me a piece of RR OP which I think has more of that pinkish rainbow look to it. Both very nice but I'm digging RR OP more...here is SC

I like the SC OP too, its a very nice piece. Does it grow quickly?

 

[luke33]

do you feed your corals? what did you do to get they grow so quick?

Not sure why it grows so fast, some of my sps grow extremely fast and some are slow growers. I have been dosing zeo FWS and CB for 6mths or so. I'm honestly not sure if either or are doing anything but I figure i'll keep dosing since everything is colored up so well. I think the trick to any tenuis is keeping it in moderate flow, high light and once you put it in a spot, don't move it. I also have had good luck with them around 8 alk wise. But once it settled in, it started growing like a weed.

I hit it with 600-700 par.

That's excellent growth in just a year! Don't cut it! But if you do, you're more than welcome to ship one my way [emoji12]

It's a fast grower. That's about 1.5 years of growth from a very small booger size. I've fragged a couples time also...

That's pretty good! I find these tenuis will grow quickly once they are established. I have 3-4 others that are like this. All of them do best in 400-600 par under the t5's for me.

Not RR and not a colony, but I'm gonna share it anyways. My one week old SC OP from battlecorals.

How much FWS and CB are you dosing? I was using it for awhile and stopped. Corals seemed better when dosing it. Have you noticed it discoloring your sump or reactor by any chance?

I don't run any reactors but my sump is perfectly normal color wise, skimmer is normal. I dose 9ml per day of the fws and 6ml every other day on the cb. I'm not sure it's doing anything but once I stopped with the acropower and switched to this the colors did improve quite a bit.

Here's my frag of RR OP I've had it since march. I got it from a buddy so he gave me to lil pieces and glued them together so it looks bigger. I'm only using FWS for two months at this point but my other sps pcs are going crazy

FlatWorm Stop from Zeovit . CB and FWS work very well hand in hand. I have stopped all Aquaforest dosing and moved over to using sponge power, FWS , CB and coral snow from zeovit . As of now, pretty positive result with my oregon tort tiny frag encrusting after 3 months.

Hello Naka
I dose the same...CB and FWS. How much do you dose? How big is your system? How heavily stocked is your system?
I have a heavily stocked 180 and I generally dose 5ml of FWS and 2ml of CB every 3 days. In your opinion do you think that's adequate?

I never really understood the reason why people use FWS without flatworm but I know it works for a lot of people. Actually I don't understand how any of them work but they work I know....

IMO fws really helps with healing after fragging. I'm not sure if it would get rid of aefw but I don't want to find out
