I was running 4 light tunnel 165w black boxes. But I have upgraded about 3 weeks ago to 4 AI hydra 64hdHi dew, awesome light setup you there. Which light do you have if you do mind sharing the secret? Happy reefing!

awesome soggy, you are doing great! I love your idea of glue epoxy sandwich and also how you glue rumbles over the frags to hide them. Any chance of a close up pic so i can see how it actually works? I need to do some remounting on some of my loose frags soon. ;Happy Happy reefing!

Ok I might be totally miss reading the pictures but I think that coral is really bleached since you got it, like almost dead.Sorry I think you misunderstand. I used pieces of rubble instead of plugs. Not over it. I pulled chunks of rubble out of the sump and used a piece large enough to keep the frag stable in sand.
Yes it's correct. I tried to get it flipped but my photo app wouldn't let me so they are out of order.
This coral should be in the top 1/3 of your tank not on the sand bed you probably only have 80 par down there. 200 to 350 par will bring back the color. What are your nitrates and phosphates at?Collaged the before and after together for better viewing .

I could be completely wrong so I hope someone better with SPS chimes in.
Unless that's what you were showing was the bad bleaching.
That's what I thought I read but wanted to make sure.On 12/6 it was blue on 12/20 it bleached.
This coral is way to low in the tankThat's what I thought I read but wanted to make sure.
Good choice for the upgrade. I have also upgraded to AI HD in my nano 25g ~2 months ago. You notice any significant differences in the coral growth? Happy reefing!I was running 4 light tunnel 165w black boxes. But I have upgraded about 3 weeks ago to 4 AI hydra 64hd
Thanks for clarifying that. I should start digging into my sump for some rubbles... lol. But how did you do the glue and epoxy sandwich exactly? Happy reefing!Sorry I think you misunderstand.

I am just now seeing this thread, but glad you got the Acro's off the sand bed. They tend to love high flow, and an acro in the sand will not get enough flow without blowing sand everywhere.Finally got my Hanna dkh checker. It is consistently .7 dkh lower than my salifert kit ( tested 3 different times over 3 days). Does this match other people's results? Also I'm not sure I've been using my salifert test correctly. My experience is that the salifert test can take 3 drops to fully change colors. I've been getting my reading off what it takes to fully change the color, but if I take the first drop to cause a change it is much closer to what the Hanna is showing.
Been so busy with the holidays that I haven't been able to do more than maintain the tank. Today I finally had a few free hours and got all my frags mounted to their final locations on the rocks. I used the super glue epoxy sandwich method and it worked great. Also having glued the frags to rubble instead of plugs made it way easier to glue them down pointing in the direction I wanted. Plus no ugly plugs to look at.

I like to have water passing my acros moving at least 6" per second and preferably closer to 10" per second. I keep an eye to see how this changes when I feed. You want the food to whip past those acro's.
Thats one heck of a way to cool the tank downOkay so from one black box owner to another dial the blues back to 50 percent and leave whites off for a week. Place the frags about 3/4 of the way up the rock. Make sure to check alk every 2 days you want that number to stay consistent. After a week of acclimating your frags to the light start bring up the blues little by little. Then turn the whites on the lowest setting for only 2 hours then a week later do 3 hours then 4 hours do not use more the 5 hours per day of whites blues should be on for 10-12 hours per day and white should be in the middle or that for only 5 hours.
dumb comment couldn't help it but it looks like one of your corals is giving us the finger lol.
