SHOW AND TELL!!!!

Thank you, pretty sure he has a cerebral spinal fluid leak from a spinal tap on Wednesday, he’s miserable. I love Tidal Gardens, it’s a 50 minute drive from me and the corals are always happy and healthy. I got to meet Than last time I went. You won’t be disappointed.

OUTSTANDING!! 50 bucks is reasonable, and it looks substantially larger than the one they're charging 185$ for. Thanks!!
 
This is perfect timing!!!

Just saw this when I got home from the LFS, where I picked up my FIRST FISH!

It's been a very long road, and it spent several weeks at the LFS waiting for pick up- but today, finally everything seems to confirm that I'm cycled, skipped the ugly stage, and am ready for fish.

I have 2 tanks 180g and 200g. The 180 is 6 years old and the 200g is 4 years old. Have battled through lots of struggles and the steep learning curve.... still vigilant but pretty happy where both tanks are (cue the disaster lurking around the corner ... LOL).

I got my space invader pectinia about 2 years ago because I loved the growth like yours has but it just isn’t happening. Current state.

Hi My 24 gallon has been setup since 2008 my original true peculiar clown was a tiny fish he’s only about 1” now and 17 years old all LPS and the clown is actually changing color mines turning blacker as time goes by

I'll post in my build thread once I release this boy into his new home

I personally have never had pectinia and don't know how hard they are or much of anything else about them, but I can assure you that you are in the right place to get answers!!

Not too difficult moderate par (100) and flow on the lower end.

Is that a picture from your tank or was that a picture of them at the LFS?

Nevermind I didn't see your post below.

Ya, it took a couple of years for mine to get settled and at some point growth really took off - probably after about 1.5 or 2 years

Good to hear, what I loved about this coral was the finger like growth upwards. Nice to know I will see that at some point, thanks.

Prayers for a quick recovery. Being a dad of 3 I can relate to the stress of when one of your kids are sick. We recently went through a extended hospital stay for a perforated appendix with my 7 year old.

Wow, sorry to hear that is so scary for parents. I’m glad your child is better!
