HarryPotter Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I like it harry. I'd say give the new frags a couple weeks to "stabalize" before shocking with freight. I defiantly want, but need to wait to see what my birdsnest do. Yeah they definitely need a few weeks. In the meantime I am going to see how I could frag my Sunset Montipora (Orange with Green Polyps) Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Successful! I fragged Montipora Undata and a small piece of Sunset Montipora. I'm also experimenting with a piece of red and green Montipora (both capriconis) on one frag. How will they grow- together? Apart? Kill eachother? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Blurry top down! I tried to turn off the Radion to avoid the puck being seen in the picture, but then the tank was dark. I'm an idiot lol. Link to comment
righttirefire Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Do you turn off your pumps and powerheads? I have so much surface movement Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Really really really thrilled on how this acropora is developing. It's encrusted like mad and the coloration is AMAZING (In my humble opinion) It seems to be developing slightly orange polyps? Link to comment

Mom2many Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That color is just beautiful. So many pretty nems being put out there tonight on everyones threads! Link to comment
metrokat Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Diluted and ready to go... A years worth of dosing with two containers of B-ionic Don't be too sure about that Harry. As your SPS and clams grow, their need for calcium and carbonate increases. Also, coralline algae is a huge user of alkalinity so as that increases, grows on your glass, back wall (scraped or not is not the point), it uses up those supplements too. That's the reason to check alk/cal routinely, to see if you're on track and to make sure the dosing is commensurate with the growth/usage in your tank. Link to comment

Oh yeah that makes sense, more/bigger coral= more demand. One question, I see most tanks have a Ca of 450. Mine is above 500, off the scale for Salifert. Alk is fine though, stable at 8.2. Is that a problem? Should I reduce Ca dosage? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Why are you dosing it if it is elevated? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Why are you dosing it if it is elevated? Um because you have to dose equal parts A&B? That's what it says on the bottle,no? So I'm dosing 12ml each part daily? Link to comment
