glennr1978 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can I just get the koozie? How long is the wait list for that? 3 Quote Link to comment
theleftcoastguy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What's recommended as far as lighting, flow, etc for this to do well in a tank? apologies in advance if that's been gone over somewhere in the middle of this thread Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What's recommended as far as lighting, flow, etc for this to do well in a tank? apologies in advance if that's been gone over somewhere in the middle of this thread 350+ PAR, moderate flow, PO4 < .08, Nitrates as high as 20 were not a problem but of course something more like 5 is better. 2 Quote Link to comment
theleftcoastguy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Okay, cool, thanks markalot! Quote Link to comment
DurocShark Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I just got mine a week or so ago. It's sitting at 200 PAR to acclimate. My PO4 is 0 (according to my Hannah, I've ordered a drop-color-they-all-look-the-same test to double-check) and nitrate is somewhere between 5 and 10, so I'm calling it 7. Flow where it's at is medium. It's been happily opening up and looking good. This weekend sometime it'll get moved to a 350 PAR location for a few weeks, then it'll end up in a 450-500 location. If it's happy there, I'll glue it down. 3 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 The Kat can handle high PAR, it likes good flow, not crazy tornados. It likes measurable nitrates and phosphates. Polyps mostly come out at night. I recommend feeding your tank at night at least once a week . Throw in some amino acids 30 min to 1 HR after lights out. Then throw in sps food 30 minutes after that. 2 Quote Link to comment

What aminos/sps food do you recommend? I had Aquavitro Fūel for a while but didn't notice anything. Im using Reef Roids daily though Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 I use acro power most often, but fuel is good too. Amino acids trigger a feeding response, the coral senses that there is food in the water and polyps extend. Then when you add food the polyps catch it. Win. Reef roids is great. 3 Quote Link to comment
theleftcoastguy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have a spot picked out in my tank for a 'centerpiece' coral that can definitely meet those par numbers, and I typically spot feed corals 2-3 times a week so I think I may have found my centerpiece 1 Quote Link to comment

Looking online, its AWESOME that acro power doesn't need to be refrigerated. Might see if the LFS carries it next time I'm there. Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So... Leave on plug or get it off? Its almost done acclimating to my LEDs (Heres an original picture; it looks pretty much the same) Personally id rather take it off the plug to glue it to the rocks, but it is somewhat encrusted so I'm not sure if thats too risky Quote Link to comment
BluCrab Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 What happened to your hairy CHEWBACA Milli? I want a frag of that! Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Shaggy the dog? Sold many many frags but I lost the colony a long time back. I have another shaggy the dog in the tank, WWC sunset millie but it's just a baby right now. Hairy baby. So... Leave on plug or get it off? Its almost done acclimating to my LEDs (Heres an original picture; it looks pretty much the same) Personally id rather take it off the plug to glue it to the rocks, but it is somewhat encrusted so I'm not sure if thats too risky You can to snap the stem off the plug and then it will just be a disk. You can take off just the coral, some of the encrusted parts will stay on the plug but that's okay 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 yeah, no matter what i used or how much i dosed, i could never get a feeding response out of SPS. my LPS would go nuts though. You have a flame angel though, right? Or at least did? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 You have a flame angel though, right? Or at least did? Still not convinced that flame limited PE. I even had frags in the sump and got 0 PE with AA. only at night can I get PE. Quote Link to comment

DurocShark Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I didn't get to move it this weekend. But here's my Kat as of tonight at 200 PAR. Ignore the reflections on the glass. My wife walked in just as I was taking this pic, and she's one of those people who has to have every light in the damn house on. And here's why I love my old carbon fiber tripod: My wife is also one of those people who can't help but pile shit everywhere in the house. Sigh... Quote Link to comment
