sprite Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Quick crappy cell pic.. It looks more brown in the pic but it's really maroon colored Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Sprite, what kind of PAR is it getting. It looks like it's partially shaded to me, which explains the maroon - it's actually brown. 1 Quote Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Jesus christ take it to your own thread you two Roger's just staking his claim Sprite, what kind of PAR is it getting. It looks like it's partially shaded to me, which explains the maroon - it's actually brown. Quick crappy cell pic.. It looks more brown in the pic but it's really maroon colored Mine browned out when I had a jump in phosphates when I transferred to my new tank. So that could be what is causing your piece to brown out. Not sure though. I have limited experience with acros! It is now starting to color back up, but VERY SLOWLY. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Lat Frag 12/21 by Roger Klein, on Flickr such a beautiful frag that can't leave the tank. Taking myself off the distributor list. sorry N-R Oh no, what a shame You can't just dip it a few times before shipping and have the recieved dip again? Probably too harsh on the coral, good luck with getting rid of those nasty pests TKR Quote Link to comment

I'd never forgive myself if I contributed to a pest infestation. That is a gorgeous frag I took the colony out, no signs of bite marks or worms. I'm still not gonna risk giving this away.

I'd never forgive myself if I contributed to a pest infestation. Yeah I can see that. The last time I bought from ReefGardener she said that she "swapped my frag" for another since the original one had flatworms.... Scary. Double dipped, scrubbed, and crossed my fingers. Although with a dip and remounting a frag it's pretty hard for pests to get in in my opinion. Quote Link to comment

This is the first time i've dealt with AEFW after 4 years in the hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment

Arce Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Dont be down roger, some of the nicest tanks out there have pests. Just need to find a way to take them out over time or manage the population. 1 Quote Link to comment

My parents now know what to look for so they can pay attention down the road. Quote Link to comment
