How's the new light?  Any bleaching?

 

[benzzz]

No problems with the new light. Been keeping an eye on things and everything looks great so far. Btw I have a nice chunk of acro for you to throw in your frag tank. Not going to take a chance this time.  I'll call it deez safe house.  Lol

I would try feeding them some brine shrimp as well. I know its not the ideal food, but, it might get them eating. If it works then just start mixing in some mysis withe brine shrimp and they will start eating both eventually.

 

[benzzz]

Thanks. Cultured or freeze dried?

 

[unibob]

That's great the light is working well for you.  The deeznutz safe house has been very stable the last few months and is open to everyone to bank their most prized possessions    I'll take care of your baby  8)  I have a few pieces I can put up for adoption when you come.

Hey Guys,

Little update.

Doser is tuned in now I think

Alk 8.4
CA 450
MG 1280
Temp 77 f
NO3  untraceable
PO4  0.02

I was at a buddies house down the street last night and we trade frags from time to time.  He was chopping down an acro due to too much flow and damaged the skin of the sps. I grabbed a frag 2 weeks ago and you wouldnt know it was the same sps. healed up nice and starting to show some color. It is a tan color now and the one settled in my tank is turning strawberry red on the tips and green polyps.
So after grabbing a chunk of Orange Oxides Zoa colony  (SCORE) we started chopping.....  and sent home with me a nice test on sps to see how my system is doing so far.  Everything else is doing great in the tank and this was just more of an excuse to get my hands wet  ;D ;D

Here is a pic of each bigger frag. alot of smaller stuff I mounted to plus and LR rubble.  Good chance I wont keep any of these after awhile but I wanna see how they do .

BTW he had some frozen cyclopeeze and give me a 5 packet. this morning the Anthias went nuts... Yes they are eating.. Just not sure how they are to get full on such small stuff lol










This one is about an inch from the surface of the water

I can see the Anthias doing quite well in your tank, Lots of room to swim and not dive for the rocks when they're scared A nice addition for sure, Inotice your sand is nice and white, looking good.

 

[benzzz]

They are the best addition I have ever got. Clowns don't move much unless feeding time. Sand bed is about 85% white. That cyano is trying so hard to hang on but syphon and WC and GFO has done it I think. I really noticed a difference of it dying off when i started dosing MB7

 

[Austin]

Nice setup benzzz, where in thornhill are you? I used to live near the Octagon. If I recall there used to be some local stores there back in the day.

 

[benzzz]
