Sahin Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Grrrrr.....this thread is too cool to let it sink deep into the depths of this forum. Asureef where are you dude? Let's see here: Awesome photography skills + beautiful tank = sexylicious eye candy Dude, you need to update this thread. Ps can you confirm if you are now using this combo for the T5's? 3 x Blue plus, 1 x purple plus & 2 x KZ NewGen If so, how does it compare to when you had the Ati ABS's in place of the NewGen's? Thanks. Edited June 24, 2012 by Sahin Quote Link to comment

Asureef Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you guys for checking in on the tank. Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I had to move the tank a few months back. Which turned out easier than I thought. The epoxy held up really well to the rock and I was able to move the scape in just three pieces and was able to keep the same aqua-scape (sorta). None of the corals showed any signs of stress until about two weeks later. Unfortunately, the move triggered "STN" event and I lost a few pieces, some mini colonies to. I also got rid of a few birds nest colonies in order to make room for some more favorable sps pieces. I'll get a new FTS when things color up a bit more, as I'm not really satisfy with the colors at the moment. Ps can you confirm if you are now using this combo for the T5's? 3 x Blue plus, 1 x purple plus & 2 x KZ NewGen If so, how does it compare to when you had the Ati ABS's in place of the NewGen's? Thanks. Thanks, Sahin. I've been running this combo since Jan. 4x blue plus 1x kz fiji purple 1x kz new gen. Honestly, beside one 12k vs. 15k, I can not tell the difference between the ATI special and new gen. A few new ones for you guys. One of my fav. here. The colors are wicked, looks grafted. I can't wait for the colors to get more pronounced like I had it before. I'm so happy it survived the move. tri-color piece Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Sorry to hear that there were some losses in the move but really glad to hear that mostly everything turned out alright. Those pics are stunning... What type of acro is that first piece??!The colors are just ridiculous. Looking forward to the FTS. BTW whats your dosing schedule like? Quote Link to comment

Nothing out of the norm just alk/cal/mag. I thought it was an Acropora speciosa at first, now I'm not so sure. The LFS I bought it from a few months ago had no clue. Plus, it was just a dark green frag back then. Quote Link to comment

twan Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Asureef one of my tank inspirations, good to have you back. Quote Link to comment
Asureef Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks guys! For a while now, both of my Pocillopora's have been losing tissue. Gone over my water parameters numerous of times and everything should be ideal. This has been an on going issue since before the move and generally they're quite hardy. And time after time, I've been seeing asterina stars on them. I've always gave them the benefit of the doubt, but no longer. So, I removed both of the colonies and gave them a nice dip in revive. A total of 6 asterina was found and I will be picking them out as I see them on the corals from now on. I'm sure I have decent population going in the tank already, it's just matter of picking the bad from the good ones. Quote Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 So they've been eating only the Pocci's? Quote Link to comment

Asureef Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 That is really weird, really makes me want to get some harlequins. I'm sure my mystery wrasse will make quick work of it if I try one. So they've been eating only the Pocci's? It seems like it like, from what I've gathered they seem to prefer birds nest type sps like Stylophora/Pocillopora. I have both species in my tank and tissue lost does look apparent on both species. Quote Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 There are species of much larger starfish that simply eat through colonies of SPS leaving only a bare skeleton. So I am not surprised that this species could possibly be eat the flesh on the SPS. Quote Link to comment
Asureef Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Just for kicks, I installed new led accent lights under the cabinet. Quote Link to comment
