Then I float afterwards. Sorry about the corals. That's a god idea, but I was just kinda scared since i could see one of the acros peeling right in the bag. I've never had a temp difference that big before. The water in my TSA order was 83 degrees and I thought that was super impressive. Quote Link to comment

I'd rather recieve them in cold water than hot. There's not a good answer really, especially if they're already peeling in the bag... just a crappy situation to be in. Quote Link to comment

A+ packaging and packs like the delivery will get to you at 5pm. Man shipped out 3 jawdroppers to 3 different people two days ago and none of them made it there on time, but all are doing well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Might have ordered 6 more sps from TSA. 😛 1 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 More sps should be here Wednesday. Woop woop ORA stellar stylo Tricolor valida RR Aussie tort tsa exquisite stag Purple stylo WWC yellow tip The sps I have now are doing okay. I think I’ve been blasting them with too much light. Dropped the radions down from 45 to 40 and now to 35%. Hope that’s the sweet spot. The only two from FOH that survived were the digi and spongodes. Not mad about that at all. I love those two 😅 3 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 5/6 look good. The RR Aussie gold is peeling. Not sure why. 😞 fragged what I could and I’m hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 RR Aussie gold RTN has stopped weirdly enough. Hopefully it rebounds. Everything else is looking good. Recent changes: 1. dropped radions max intensity to 25% 2. maintained vinegar at 15mL per day 3. added KZ pohl's xtra, KZ coral booster, and KZ amino acid LPS to the dosing regimen. the bacteria film has started to subside as well. Now I just have to pay attention to alk and get the doser up and going when it needs it. If anyone has some mille's or stags they're trying to trim please let me know 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Noticed some rtn. realized I never hit save so my doser for acropower wasn't dosing. Probably stripped the water too much. I need more fish. Pic is on my camera but my computer is in pieces I'll try and get some up this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 ordered some clowns and a melanarus since i'm seeing a few wormies on my glass. which is super annoying considering how slow i've been taking it. I don't think they're AEFW or MEFW but I'll have to really check when I'm able. Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I am incredibly disappointed with the GHL Profilux4. The set up guides are horrible, the user interface is borderline impossible to understand, it’s impossible to get help anywhere, there’s no resource guides basically except for YouTube videos that rarely are relevant to your scenario, and overall I think it’s drastically overpriced for what it is. If you really want to controller don’t even consider getting a GHL. expect a classified ad soon. 2 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I remember going to my local fish store and seeing LPS corals for as little as $20 up to $250 for brains and scolys. Now I can't find a single run of the mill torch coral for less than $300. what. the. fish. I bought a RR SPS for $50... come onnnnnnnn Anyone have any torches (plain jane, or gold) or hammers (that aren't super green, cause I have a toxic green one)? 1 Quote Link to comment

The online torch craze (I don't know how every torch manages to have a name) had pretty much raised ALL euphyllia prices, no matter how run-of-the-mill they might be. As more and more indo torches are coming in, you'd think the pricing will come down, but nope, it stays sky high. sigh. 2 Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I might have some goldish hammers coming up soon. Stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment
