xiaoxiy Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Has anyone else read this article? http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0098529 Fed recruits grew significantly faster than unfed ones, with corals in the 3600, 1800, 600 and 0 (control) nauplii/L groups exhibiting volumetric growth rates of 10.65±1.46, 4.69±0.9, 3.64±0.55 and 1.18±0.37 mm3/week, respectively. Corals supplied with the highest density of nauplii increased their ecological volume by more than 74 times their initial size, achieving a mean final volume of 248.38±33.44 mm3. The benefits of feeding were apparent even after transplantation to the reef. The corals in the 3600, 1800, 600 and 0 nauplii/L groups grew to final sizes of 4875±260 mm3, 2036±627 mm3, 1066±70 mm3and 512±116 mm3, respectively. The fed corals had significantly higher survival rates than the unfed ones after transplantation (63%, 59%, 56% and 38% for the 3600, 1800, 600 and 0 nauplii/L treatments respectively) Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 That scape is pure awesomeness! Thank you so much! I love it! Even the algae is pretty The stand looks fantastic, the painted doors and natural shell really look good. Thanks teeny; so much algae though ; the woes of feeding a cube of frozen daily. I'm quite pleased with how the stand turned out; the dark doors really hide the misalignment of the doors LOL. Link to comment

mattskims Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 So nice and clean. Did you go back to a background in the last pic? Getting ready to do this to a IM20 and if I can get it 1/2 as nice as yours, Ill be happy. Link to comment

Getting ready to do this to a IM20 and if I can get it 1/2 as nice as yours, Ill be happy. Yes! I put 2 MP10s on the back wall so I ended up going back to a black background to hide them. If you haven't unbaffled the tank yet, be super careful and take it slowly. Don't gash your hand up on the glass baffles like I did. bet that is awesome with the bluefish link It's the best. I can control lighting and sounds from my Ipad. Now I just need to get an Apex classy set up...nice job Thanks man, I really appreciate it! Link to comment

If you haven't unbaffled the tank yet, be super careful and take it slowly. Don't gash your hand up on the glass baffles like I did. I haven't unbaffled it yet but when I do it will be done cautiously as I read about the potential for battle scars. Link to comment

The key I think is to not get impatient. The sand has cleared up! image by Xiaoxi Yang, on Flickr image by Xiaoxi Yang, on Flickr Link to comment
mattskims Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Wow, that looks great. With your scape the way it is, are you staying with the NBR Tide? Link to comment
xiaoxiy Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Wow, that looks great. With your scape the way it is, are you staying with the NBR Tide? I think so. Seeing how my SPS are close to the center and close to the surface, I don't think I'll need any more power than what a tide has to offer. Only time will tell though. Link to comment
