Since I started to feed them and they have doubled in size, I kind of like them again. There is still a bit of algae on that rock but it’s going away over time. I think I will start gluing (green) yellow tort frags there, as that is my fastest grower and would be a cool experiment. More annoying is that center-right bubble tip, which forced me to remove the frogspawn colony. I HATE mounting colonies... PITA. I would like to the nem off and ship it to JBB with his upcoming SPS pack. It’s gorgeous: insanely vibrant red with perfect bubbles, but it wasn’t supposed to go there! What do you think of it’s location, if I were to hide the frogspawn behind main rockwork. @Travis @teenyreef since starting the ATI part 3, I am seeing an explosion of coralline. I haven’t had significant coralline growth in ~1.5 years, yet all the sudden it’s appearing everywhere. That is with 3ml concentrated (diluted 30ml) daily. I need to get an alkalinity test to see if that will effect my (stable) alkalinity... Any idea what your levels were before you started? Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 . But seriously...I've always admired @teenyreefs Monti Caps and have even talked to him about getting some of his frags. Supposedly they are good beginner SPS, but I would feel terrible if I killed one of your beautiful frags. What an opportunity though...I need to go back and check out your racks again. Do you think anyone at reefapalooza will be selling those fancy racks that you have. Quote Link to comment

Want to try an acro just for the heck of it? As you may be able to tell, I enjoy sharing corals haha. One of the best parts of the hobby is growing out a colony and giving away parts of it to other reefers to enjoy and grow themself! No idea re: racks. Usually some vendor will be selling them though! 2 Quote Link to comment

I currently have a blue cali tort that doesn't grow anything but algae on the plug! An ORA pink birds nest that shows little if any growth. And a blue Pocillipora that sometimes looks great (blue), but most of the time looks more red/brown. I plan to look at lighting for a IM 20 Abyss peninsula that I've been putting off setting up so everything could eventually go in there. What Acro would you suggest? Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Oh yeah, and if I'm getting stuff, might as well throw some of those pretty little Sunny D's in! PM me about cost. Quote Link to comment

The plating montiporas all grow the same, flat like a plate, the difference is the color. The Digitata I mentioned is a branching type of montipora. It’s like an wanna-be acro ? Let’s try green slimer acro for sure, and maybe a random extra. Fast growers and pretty hardy. So it’ll end up being around 6-7 frags No cost, I gotcha ? just need a phone number so we can meet up at the event. If I have the time I’ll design and print a quick frag rack that fits into a round Tupperware so it’s easy to transport them all together, and that’ll be more stable. Just made a quick design, Ill print this so its easy to bring you 7 in a standard tupperware. You can also use it as a temporary rack, tho the SPS should be placed relatively high. Fits my .8" plugs with .43" stems. 5 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 20 minutes ago, Pjanssen said: That really is very cool It got me thinking about how I could design a locking mechanism for the plugs. Like a thin plastic tab that is put under tension when you push the plug in... ? Will try a few tests for proof of concept and then reprint the rack. You know, to figure out what thickness for the tab; it needs to be thick enough to provide resistance yet not so thick that it’ll be hard to push the plug in. Maybe I won’t print the final one in poop-brown ? You can see how a nerd like me is absolutely fascinated by 3D printing. I can go from an idea to proof of concept to final product, for super cheap and with very high precision. And the printer itself is around $200; it was definitely a great purchase for me.

Pjanssen Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I just discovered my Nem split. Again. Need to figure out how to get at least 2 of them out before the new frags arrive. Damn my good nem husbandry skills 1 Quote Link to comment
