Sk8n Reefer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks man. How you enjoying that Hybrid? Yes, once I get the new one back again and start to crank up par I think my colors should start improving ( stylo browned a bit) and then it's time to borrow the par meter and get ready for some smooth skin acros ? 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm sure your corals will love it. I really love the Deepwater Acros, not putting that in inverted commas just to annoy Ben. IME they are hardy and grow really fast. 2 Quote Link to comment

IME they are hardy and grow really fast. Just call them smooth skin. Inverted commas. Good grief. 3 Quote Link to comment

olemanwinter Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 New Zoas; Picked these up yesterday, super cheap but pretty. I live on the US east coast. It's impossible to find something Cheap, Simple and Pretty. Everything is either high end shops selling fancy stuff for $$$ or ramshackle,dusty broken-down LFS selling the plain stuff for the same $$$. lol I don't know how much that cost, but anywhere within 1hr drive of where I live would want like $60 US or more for that frag.

From what I've seen online in the US, prices are quite high for corals and the frags tend to be quite tiny. That said, you do have an amazing selection - I'm really jealous of that. These cost me $10 I believe FWIW. 1 Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Slimer Progression; Day 1, 4 and 7 - left to right. White balance is a tad warmer far right because I took it in the morning so there was some sunlight peaking in. But overall it's getting much greener every day. 13 Quote Link to comment

4x5 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 amazing! Thanks, it's getting there. Random Coral Photos; Unknown Brown Number 2 showing off some polyps. Zoa polyps looking cool. Chalices are cool. 6 Quote Link to comment

Looks happy. I notice mine will first get bright green polyps and then the skin will go from brown green to bright green and glow almost yellow under blue LED. If every acro grew this fast we would probably be bored and have found another hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment

If every acro grew this fast we would probably be bored and have found another hobby. A fast growing Acro, my favourite kind. LEDs are crazy for bringing out the glow. This frag was nuclear green in the holding tank at the LFS. Like toxic waste green. Got it home and was brown. Thankfully T5s burn that brown away fast. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mine is slowly getting it back but you really have to see it in person to understand. Quote Link to comment
shawnriv Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Gorgeous tank as usual! When you come back Shaun, you come back with style! How are the Anthias' holding up? I'm tempted to try a couple in my 65G shallow - 48 x 24 x 13 inches but my tank is mainly housing Acropora as well. I have a brand new, large skimmer but am worried about algae if I overfeed. -Shawn Quote Link to comment

I feed them once or twice a day along with the rest of the tank. Quote Link to comment
RollaJase Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Excellent progress on the slimer. I picked myself up a frag of a toxic green Stag over the weekend, for $10 I couldn't resist! I have too many green SPS pieces already, need to stop impulse purchasing and start planning my purchases a bit more haha. Hmmm, I knew I should have picked up the white nasuta with dark blue tips...I may have to go back for that one. Quote Link to comment

Awesome on the new addition, I think every tank needs a big green Stag, I'm really into them at the moment - hopefully some less common colours will pop up at the stores so I can grab a couple more. From what I've heard the Nasuta grows really fast as well which is nice. You should buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Acropora Tenuis; Unknown brown 001 is a Tenuis and is turning into something really nice and starting to branch. Looking forward to this one growing into a nice colony. Image is a little blurry but I liked it. 12 Quote Link to comment
