There's something fishy about this build...

So my skimmer is still useless but my refugium isn’t. This is what? Two weeks of algae growth not counting the chaeto. It is tempting to just toss the skimmer as that would over triple my refugium volume.

Joseph? Joseph Campo??

Joseph? Joseph Campo??

Please put a leash on that horse.

Did somebody say, "leash"?

I think he wants me to leash Joseph Campo?? I mean sure, if he wants

Cleaned the glass and got myself some rewards for it!!

Thats 2 of my 4 prizes and the EShopps reward is on the way! Haven't heard anything from Premium Aquatics yet though...

First order is here. What light level is cyphastrea?

First order is here. What light level is cyphastrea?

Low/medium.

 

[tbrown]

Which Cyphastrea?

 

[tbrown]

My red and blue ones like higherish PAR, yellow and green tend for lower PAR.

 

[Slocke]

Low/medium.

Too late, I went medium high, oh well.

Which Cyphastrea?

Meteor shower, the only cyphastrea in the order


Put the plate next to my other plate

Duncan is unhappy of course. Im concerned its just another green and not the blue I wanted

Micromussa looks to have some tissue damage?

 

[tbrown]

Oh, Meteor Shower. Mine is growing super fast in almost full shade.

You can't see it in this picture but it's tucked back there under the shelf behind the Birdsnest (and Poccilopora)

 

[tbrown]

In my 125 it was higher up on the glass. Most Cyphastrea are not super picky when it comes to light. They just color shift some. You might get lighter greens in higher lighting. Mine is more of that purplish green you sometimes see.

 

[Slocke]

And I just remembered I bought the plate and cyphastrea to put in the weir box. Whoops

IME, Meteor Shower prefers low par

 

[Slocke]

Well its partially shaded? May move to the back wall though

So… want to guess which one cost $30 and which cost $180?

I'll assume sarcasm; meaning the big, good looking, one is the cheap one? It looks great!
The smaller one has nice colors( i love orange and yellow corals), but i hate seeing any dead polyps on a new purchase...
I would tease the tank with a little reef roids or frozen to get a feeding response, and spot feed. Little one looks like it needs it, big one looks ready to eat...

Yeah, does not look like the picture and the skeleton showing is not a sign it was a healthy coral when shipped.


Also the blue Duncan I ordered seems to be just a common green. So… I guess thanks for the free stuff but I can't recommend.
