I have been neglecting NR a bit- been more active on Facebook and Instagram promoting my 3d printing. The tanks are looking beyond great. Like.... way beyond great. The only correlation I have is dosing an excess of KZ aminos daily. For example- Cherry Bomb under daylight spectrum looks FIREE Here is the Orange Passion (colony?!?) under blues I did this to my gold torch photo earlier, to poke fun at a certain vendor.

I think it’s interesting that whoever the vendor manages to find image tweaks that didn’t give much away in sand and rocks. The bottom one still looks fake to me tho. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment

Agreed the bottom one looks fake- the photo above it is much more realistic. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 SBig things are happening..... custom 44x28x14 frag tank arriving in a few weeks. I’m already building the stand 🙂 I modeled up the stand, so I could just get a list of the lengths of plywood I needed. Most of it is laminated together, so 1.5” thick. Concept: Reality: as for this reefer, it is constant acropora warfare. Colors are crazy! 7 Quote Link to comment

I might try to plumb it into the reefer; but that would require moving the reefer to the other side of the room. 7 Quote Link to comment

I am growing out pieces- check out the back off the tank. Mini colonies of everything, separate from my main colonies. Then I will transfer them into the new frag tank w. the spinning disk. 2 Quote Link to comment

Its been going pretty smoothly! My new concept frag system is cycling with some Acropora, and I am building up my coral inventory by adding more and more frag racks. Kind of absurd, but sweet. Dosing like 90ml EACH part daily. Ignore that center rack- was just temporary. The candy cane corals up front also aren't there to stay-- before they were thrown behind my rock work. Waiting on someone to come pick them up. 5 2 Quote Link to comment

Are all these frags destined for the new frag tank once it's ready, or are you planning to mount some in the 350? Quote Link to comment

Been like 8 months and cant turn it around, so time for bleach! 7 Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Coming down today. Cause of death: flatworms, but mainly toxic environment due to flatworm medication. Could not recover environment to after over 10x volume in water changes, biological starters, etc. Went downhill for 6+ months, maybe 5% corals will be salvaged. 11 Quote Link to comment

Sorry Harry, I hope you’ll be re-starting this one back up soon. Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Sorry to hear @HarryPotter, this really sucks 😞 What are you goals for a reset? Hopefully you can seed a new system with some frags from your corals that have gone out to others over the years. ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment
