NorthGaHillbilly Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Will do. Having problem finding good lower flow spot for it. Will see what it does there now. Ive ended up having mine stuck back in a cave, they really catch flow and will blow around, a real problem in a tank like yours, SPS heavy Quote Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Want. That. fish. Although I really wanted some shrimp, apparently these guys like to snack on them Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Long nose little safer I think but still chance might eat. Small fish don't make best of friends either. Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Picked up this clam from lfs today. Tank is doing good but out of no where it started sucking more alk and cal so working on getting back up and stable. Pissed off some zoas etc with the swings. Random top down To show I still have love for lps My poor colored joe the coral. I think the t5s make color too Intense. Need leds to bring out real colors 5 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 No name Aussie from my lfs. Maybe I should name it mytanksucksapora lol Because your tank does not suck. Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Maybe boring is better discription. Lol but on another note I have maybe 5-6 Aussie frags and and all have done great. That one you asked about seems to be one of my more sensitive pieces though. Color and pe is getting better now though. 1 Quote Link to comment

That one you asked about seems to be one of my more sensitive pieces though. Color and pe is getting better now though. That's why you have acros, no more boredom as you constantly have to make sure you don't brown them out. The Katropora, which is a subulata from Divers Den, browned on me badly when I had an alk spike, but it also recovered quicker than most of the other acros ... with the exception of the slimer. It's an odd coral, but very attractive. Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Well tank is year old now. Not super happy with how far along it is for being year old but first 6 months tank was algae mess and just softies for most part. I have learned a ton in the last year and have found Interest in the hobby again though so I guess that's good atleast. Night time fts lol. 8 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Good colors on the sps, tank looks great! Can you go over your maintenance, water params, skimmer, etc for us? 1 Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Good colors on the sps, tank looks great! Can you go over your maintenance, water params, skimmer, etc for us? Hmmmm lol. It's been pretty low maint for me. I do 10 gal wc every month or so. Clean glass every 4-5 days and try to clean back glass every couple weeks now. I test alk 1-2 times a week and cal and mag every other week or so. I clean skimmer cup 2 times a week on my vertex 130 and thin out chaeto in my sump when needed.Oh wait 1-2 times a week I feed all my lps a few inches worth of frozen limpits blend food. Parmeters that I test for nowdays are just the basics. I don't run Gfo or anything so I don't waste time chasing all the others. Alk is kept at 8-8.5 ish Cal 420 Mag 1500+ 1 Quote Link to comment
