Spiderguardnano Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Here's a little picture dump with the new additions I took a different route and went with some super metallic pink zoas, gold torch and 5 pack ric pack I think I'm done buying corals and just going to sit back and watch everything grow Also added a small shelf rock on the left for zoas What do you guys think of the placement of rics and gold torch Thanks guys -Spida Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 super bummed i didnt get to see these guys open up because i had to split to work right after i added them Link to comment
Alex B Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Looks good man! Only thing I would do, get the rics off the plugs. That way you can start a little ric garden. I love rics! I'm sure you can tell from my little tank Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 +1 off with the plugs! I hate frag plugs with a passion. they take up space and look ugly. why why why do vendors insist on using frag plugs for rics.... Link to comment

I'm sure you can tell from my little tank i popped one of the plug and glued ill wait for them to settle a little then glue them down one of the guys at my lfs said gold torches dont have a long life span.Is this true? p.s i hate frag plugs there almost as bad as hair algae Link to comment
Alex B Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Unfortunately he is semi-correct. I don't think they have short life span, I think it's just a harder coral to keep. They definitely like a little more light then a normal torch. Mine is all the way up top. My water is also pretty clean and it seems to like it. Good luck with yours! Link to comment

Alex B Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Don't get rid of it...take it as a challenge. I keep mine in decent flow and light, and so far so good. I've had it a little over a month now. Link to comment
hey Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 thanks alex im thinking of getting rid of it now Meh I havn't had a gold torch but my green one and ora one are ez to keep with no signs of stopping. The green one came off a pretty huge mother colony i hope to only come close to having one half as awesome though. My ora one is splitting its head right now very slow process but neat none the less.

Thanks man still a long way to go. The flat worm problem is just whatever right now not really worrying to much about it i heard they only go after sps but i did add a sapphire damsel to hopefully keep the population in control Link to comment
Alex B Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A temporary six line wrasse would take care of those flatworms Link to comment
