stshy Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for the sump pic! How do you like having such a shallow tank? Also, did you ever think of LEDs? Link to comment
Rehype Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for the sump pic! How do you like having such a shallow tank? Also, did you ever think of LEDs? Np. Love it one of my favorite tank builds thus far. Already had them but prefer T5's. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sorry it came out so crappy but the reflection from the T5's is pretty overpowering. I think im going to pick up a polarizer and try again. Crazy picture bro. The colors look intense. Did the monti cap lighten a bit? Or is that just the light making it look lighter then it really is? Almost looks pink instead of the red/orange in your sig and from previous pictures. Link to comment

Yea it actually started to lighten when i switched to LEDs but then i almost lost it when used too much GFO. Its just starting to recover from the STN episode it went through. Im hoping it makes a full recovery. Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm pretty sure it was because I put too much carbon is my reactor for the first time. I think it made the water just too clean and the monti was the first to feel the effect possibly also because it was directly under the halide. I'm feeding/dosing my tank every other day now with a combination of reef pearls, dried cyclopeeze, and pohl's xtra and everything is growing better than ever Link to comment

tiggs Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 True but not enough that requires supplemental dosing at least IME. Water changes tend to be enough to replenish whats loss in between maintenance. Zoos Any idea what the zoas in the middle are called? The purple ones with the star speckle patten and green skirts? I have some and haven't been able to find them anywhere. Thanks! Link to comment

i<3nanotanks Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 So you had a good Mr. coral experience or was this when he actually sold quality pieces? Link to comment
Rehype Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 So you had a good Mr. coral experience or was this when he actually sold quality pieces? Well i bought that frag over 2 years ago. I actually bought a bunch of frags at the time, a few zoos melted but the ones that survived are doing great. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well i bought that frag over 2 years ago. I actually bought a bunch of frags at the time, a few zoos melted but the ones that survived are doing great. I had the same kind of experiences from him. I got a bunch of really neat Zoas, but 10% melted. The LPS has had about a 75% mortality and I've had only one piece of SPS actually survive (A piece of Red Planet). Link to comment
Rehype Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 yes they look awesome! thanks nanotanks it's taken a bit of time for them grow but they started as 2-3 polyp frags Link to comment

All of my Lps did very well but I haven't tried ordering any sps from him Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 All of my Lps did very well but I haven't tried ordering any sps from him I had 50/50 luck with my SPS. They were the first SPS in the tank so I'll accept some responsibility but the ones that are doing well are all healthy, coloring up, and have good PE. Link to comment

I wouldn't do SPS again. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I've had the best luck with SPS from him. About 80% of the zoas i got melted away within first week. Link to comment
