metrokat Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Good morning from the reef. Going out of town tomorrow for a long week, actually more than a week. Web cam will be on so I can watch the fishies. Did a water change and sand siphoning already, going to put a 5G ATO reservoir in place, and test parameters today. Auto feeder is on but the TS will feed a mysis cube also, hopefully twice a day. 11 Quote Link to comment

It worked really well and I like how you can really adjust how much food to feed and such. 1 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Eheim Does it go right into the tank or into a feeding ring? Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Actually, I'm scrolling back, looks like I got it in July 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Got it a year ago - Oct 2014 That's some nice growth!!! What lighting do you have yours in? When I researched it said lower lighting for better color and such. The color is great but I swear it hasn't even grown like a minuscule amount Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Does it go right into the tank or into a feeding ring? I have a feeding ring under it otherwise the food will float straight into the overflow 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I promise these are yellow porites, but this picture is after a lot of potassium dosing which turned it green. It's slowly getting back to yellow again 3 Quote Link to comment
