Mr. Microscope Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wow Ben! Stepping it up with the gorgs. Your tank is looking like a Carribean dream! Love that Rit Nem BTW. How's it behaving for you? Link to comment

How's it behaving for you? Not so well right now. It loves the Gyre, but didn't love my test I did running it at full bore. It had moved and was holding hands with the gorgs, so I pried it off and moved it back to the other side of the rock where it was, and it took about two hours to reinflate, but it has moved about four inches to the left and is now on the 'arm' of that rock and is fast approaching the acropora I have mounted there. Go figure, just as that acro was starting to color up. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 All because I wanted to drum up a little more interest in the Gyre. Boooo! Link to comment
Chris! Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 All because I wanted to drum up a little more interest in the Gyre. Boooo! Could just replace the nem w/ more acros.... then crank til your sand can't take it lol Link to comment
gena Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 The gorgonians are looking great! That blue sponge is pretty nifty too . Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Could just replace the nem w/ more acros.... then crank til your sand can't take it lol Nah, gotta have some flowyness The gorgonians are looking great! That blue sponge is pretty nifty too . Thanks! Most of them already have polyp extension, too Link to comment
hey Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My pink sponge did something similar to yours and withered to crap, then comes back, then withers to crap its quite a rollercoaster. Not too sure why its doing it but if it keeps making a comeback I am fine with it. Link to comment
Chris! Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Nah, gotta have some flowyness Millepora lol Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Millepora lol Already got one (according to kat), and it acts like it doesn't even have polyps lol Link to comment

Chris! Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah it looks like a mille... a pissed off one tho. I'd say it has some potential if you can get it happy tho! Link to comment

I don't know what I could do differently. I feed lots of different foods, along with things like amino acids, etc, and still I've never seen anything more than the above (well, right now they're extended a little bit more, but not 'millepora' extended lol).

Where is it location wise in the tank? Have you ever tried moving it? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Where is it location wise in the tank? Have you ever tried moving it? No, it's up pretty much as high as it can go (only one spot that is higher) and it was sitting right in the path of the MP40s when I had those (and has great flow from the Gyre). I accidentally knocked it off today, was trying to get the nem to move again and ended up just knocking it off, so I moved it a couple of inches away. It'll have slightly better flow in this spot as it is closer to the Gyre, but light is like 30 PAR lower. I'll see how it looks once it settles into this place (it's at least already got it's 'full' polyp extension now, even though I just moved it). Link to comment

I was actually going to suggest maybe try moving it to a slightly lower light and flow spot. SPS like flow but sometimes it can be a bit to brutal if they aren't used to it. Milles IME like a good moderate flow, not to harsh but certainly nothing close to stagnant If it doesn't improve where it is now within a week try a slightly slower flow spot. Link to comment
Jstn Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 How much of a noise difference do you hear from the gyre vs your Mp40s? Link to comment
