basser1 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Any updates on when frags will start to go out??? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It may be awhile from my colony. But I'm sure the other owners will help you out. They'll need their badge too. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I put the colony I have left back in the big tank today. It will be a while Basser. I hope sooner rather than later but my colony needs a lot of TLC right now. Quote Link to comment

kguske2 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Some progression shots and rising from the "dead" I had this in October Turned it completely brown and thought it was going to die. got green coming back in January Now it's totally green today! Obviously different lighting in this last picture but the whole frag is a nice green even in whiter lights My secret to get color back. Stop caring. No really I didn't do a water change for about 3 weeks and just stopped cleaning the tank. Just moved the tank this week so we'll see how it progresses from here 9 Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Nice one. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 That's a gorgeous green. Should get the purple coralites back now I guess. I've never seen it all green before. It's a funny critter. 1 Quote Link to comment

No really I didn't do a water change for about 3 weeks and just stopped cleaning the tank. Just moved the tank this week so we'll see how it progresses from here Interesting. I'm still not exactly sure why mine browned other than high phosphates and a KH spike, but green is a good sign. Mine has lost some color since 10 days ago, I think I dropped Phosphates too fast, they're now 0 on a salifert test kit. Nitrates are still 30+. Best I can tell I've had very little growth, if any. 3 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Last time I checked mine the green was pastel looking. Gonna ask the rents for a pic this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Phosphates 0.05 Nitrates, um ... I laughed when I saw this...looks just like my card right now and I freaked out when I saw it since I hear how SPS can't tolerate nitrates but everything in my tank looks just fine. Glad to see that it's not affecting your tank besides the bubble algae (I'm also stuck with cyano for the time being). Quote Link to comment
GHill762 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've never tested my nitrates 4 Quote Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I really like where this pink frag plug thing is going. lol 2 Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Get all signs of bubble algae out asap before it really starts to over populate your rocks... I'm still finding one or two bubbles a week in random spots of the tank... almost eradicated but the fight goes on! 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm still finding one or two bubbles a week in random spots of the tank... almost eradicated but the fight goes on! I took out all the rock, all I have is bubble algae now. I use bubble algae instead of glue.

Glad to see that it's not affecting your tank besides the bubble algae (I'm also stuck with cyano for the time being). Yea, some of my corals look great, some appear as if they would be better with lower nitrates. Most all of them appear healthy though. I have to deal with bubble algae and a little cyano as well. 4 Quote Link to comment

Brand new… beginning of November... After the mini-crash… around Thanksgiving... Tonight - it's really been encrusting onto that rock! Super bright green and just starting to get the polyp extension and purple back… 3 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Kat how are your colonies/ pieces doing, I don't think I've seen much on them lately?? Alive (whew!) and needing to color up. Some pieces have a green coming back, some are still brown, some are paler. 2 Quote Link to comment
