FlCandy Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Got the Macros in! OMG he gave far more then I expected! Everything was well colored and happy double bagged and packed nice and tightly in the box. Pics are crappy but better ones will come tomorrow and Sunday after I get me some more coralz! I also ripped all the remaining SPS out but the green tipped bird.... I will give him a few more days but he looks worse and worse. Dragons Breath and Blue Ochtodes Red Grape Really bad but Red titan is the little tufts on the sand and the Red Grape. Freebie! Full Fuge shot! Sorry really bad I only had the lights on to place them then they went back off until 9:30PM. The Display turns off at 10:00PM so it has a 30 minute overlap. Is there any harm from running the FUGE lights 24/7? Just wondering. Better pics later. Link to comment

banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Mac Daddy make ya jump, jump! Did I just date myself with that song? Link to comment
gena Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Looks great!!!!! You don't want to run 24/7 on those types of macro. I think caulerpas and chaeto would be ok, but not the other stuff. I do 12 hours on 12 hours off and everything is growing great. Link to comment

You don't want to run 24/7 on those types of macro. I think caulerpas and chaeto would be ok, but not the other stuff. I do 12 hours on 12 hours off and everything is growing great. Gotcha, So I should reduce the cycle even more then...... I had them running 16 hours on the Fuge and 8 on the DT....... Link to comment

If it's strictly macro you could possibly go longer. Ask alto...she would know Link to comment

If it's strictly macro you could possibly go longer. Ask alto...she would know Way to put on the pressure gena I don't know what the maximum length of daylight is, but I do know every macro except Chaetomorpha sp. and Caulerpa sp. will slowly wither and die if lit for 24 hours a day. They need a rest period every day just like animals do. I keep mine on a 12 on/12 off cycle because it mimics nature. You could get away with 14 on/10 off but I wouldn't do much more than that.

Beat me to it! LMAO I just posted the ? on your thread! Thanks so I will extend the cycle on the DT one hour and cut the SUMP by 2. So it'll be 9 on in the DT and 12 on on the FUGE. You gals rock!

FlCandy Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 So in the midst of all this the Fruity Loop zoas grew 2 new heads...... so I not have what 7 of them! The Punk Rocker ZOas have started to grow onto the rock finally, but I am losing the pink ones..... I can get them again the LFS always has them and has larger colonies now then before. I need to check out the 10$ tank at the other LFS and see if they have any of the Blue Hornets left.... I bet they do! Link to comment

FlCandy Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 LOL, I have this feeling that you might be the first ever to get TOTM with yer sump. LMAO! No I want it for the DT! So all the corals are in the tank, I have this HUGE rock that has some Palys left on it but I have the same ones, also the rock had Fire Worms in it! Yes people I had my first battle with Fireworms! I was like WTF, then OMG then where are the damn tweezers! Some were close to 2" long. Not cool! Oh well all has been dipped cleaned and glued down onto leftover rubble and is in the tank. Pics are coming! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Pics! Lunar Eclipse Cool Tyree Cyphastrea Japonica Really PO war coral, I had to save it from a Paly Attack More Froggie Bonsai Frag, I have to figure out a way to get it off the rock...... Tricolor Mushrooms! The Neon Green has Orange dots on it! So cool! Brown and Green Candy Cane (It was mad at me I was kind of rough....) Neon Candy Cane Xerxes says Hi Nuclear Green Palys What's left of the green tipped Bird, we will see if he likes the lower light.... Brittle Stars Macro and Starfish Red Titan Titan, Grape and Joel Macro that is a weed! Dragons Breath and Blue Ochtodes Fuge Shot Crooked FTS This guy is cool! I have No idea what it is neither did he but PE is awesome and he has a little bit of pink to the edges around the polyps.... IDK if you got an ID let me know. So that was a nice haul. The rock is in a box with water until I can figure it out. It may go into the FUGE as the worms are fine down there...... IDK, can palys live under florescent lighting? LMAO Link to comment
