ReviloM Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 That's a hot looking meat man. That's what she said. I don't have any fishes in the lps tank so I feed it once every 3 days. I probably waste so much time just watching my corals moving slowmo to eat...lol. OK. I'll try that as well. I am fish-less, also. Still waiting on Ventralis Anthias to appear back in the market.

1.0reef Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Nice stuff! IMO the Scoly on the rock is sweet, it would be a nice "centerpiece" because of it's height, and have everything else around it, hiding the rock and creating a few crevices for the sixline. It'll need a hiding place once added, or you could try a Possum/Pink Streak Wrasse. Link to comment

I wasn't too sure so if it really does then I might just get a possum wrasse since I've never had 1 but it looks kinda cool. Link to comment
ReviloM Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Lol. Well, just make sure your water isn't too clean....meat corals hate sps water. Well that's going to be hard. Link to comment
benjho Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well that's going to be hard. Lol. I'm just kidding. I've seen meat corals thrive well in sps tanks before.... Link to comment
ReviloM Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Lol. I'm just kidding. I've seen meat corals thrive well in sps tanks before.... Ok great. I can't seem to make my tank produce higher than 2ppm nitrates (red sea test kit) for my zoas. I dose the Red Sea Energy. I would rather it be at 5ppm. Link to comment

I would rather it be at 5ppm. I wouldn't know what you're talking about because I never test my water neither is my water ever clean enough to maintain sps. lol. The only thing I test for is salinity level using a hydrometer. Link to comment

The only thing I test for is salinity level using a hydrometer. I used to be the same way but now I am trying to stop doing WC and just replace traces and maintain Ca, Mg, and ALK. I noticed I spent too much money on salt mix from WC. You can call it my modified Triton Method. Link to comment

Yes they do, they are like Six Lines but not as active, more cryptic, and bit harder to find. Link to comment

I would rather it be at 5ppm.You'll be fine. I have LPS in my tank and last I checked my Nitrates were at 0.2 - I want them a little higher as well but nothing looks concerned. Damn these are sexy.

Thanks man. 1st time ever owning a master scoly or two, probably the best experience I've ever had with this hobby.. Link to comment
4x5 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 We just don't get those down here - pretty much nobody will pay the price. So they I've never seen them imported. Link to comment

Yeah the prices are definitely pretty hefty, these things....you gotta really really really love it to have to buy it. Link to comment
benjho Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 FTS FTS FTS I will shoot 1 soon. Link to comment
brad908 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Much better than your previous scoly tank Link to comment
benjho Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Much better than your previous scoly tank Thanks man. I was thinking the same. Link to comment
1.0reef Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Make sure to give the Possum a few hiding spots. Link to comment
benjho Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Make sure to give the Possum a few hiding spots. That live rock attached to the sunrise apple scoly has a very nice hiding spot in it, it's like a deep crevice/cave for its sleeping spot in the back. Can't wait for tomorrow, going to stop by at many hot lfs tomorrow such REEF RAFT USA, IRC, and some other secretive lfs. Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yea I'll agree looks much better! Don't stuff a flame angel in this one! Link to comment
benjho Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yea I'll agree looks much better! Don't stuff a flame angel in this one! Thanks man. Yeah, won't do. Yeah, that was when I was doing a small pulsing xenia tank which failed horribly. Big mistake on my part. Link to comment
benjho Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Semi-fts. Hopefully I see some new goodies tomorrow. The only reason why I bought this meat coral was because of its center pattern. The outer rim pattern is mostly solid orange...which ain't good. Stay tuned for the other tank coming pictures. (the other tank only has a plate coral with 2 mushrooms, and a frostbite clownfish) Link to comment
benjho Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ahh crapz. Just bought a goku chalice morph....guess I might have some chalices later on in the lps tank. Local pickup here I come. Man, on a side note...has anyone seen lps1212's tank thread? If not, here it is bros! He's got some real goodies....drool worthy like dnov99's thread...gawd, these people got me jelly every time I look. http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/general-lps-discussion/85013-some-my-gems-large-polyp-stony-have-large-soft-polyps-corals-44.html Link to comment
