Added 2 bubble tips but the big green one went behind the center gorg , smaller orange tip is on the right but hard to see in this pic. Glad to see the reef doing well Bryan, all those beautiful gorgs! I like your idea of mounting some SPS high on the back wall with some magnetic rocks, some plating montipora would be awesome. Can you get a magnet mount down into the center overflow too? 2 Quote Link to comment

Thank you, Its nice to be able to enjoy the hobby again. I was so close to walking away completely. There is plenty of room in the box for magnet mounts , I need to study up on how to know the holding strength of the magnets. I know there is a huge difference in pull apart / slide apart strength and I want to avoid having rocks slide / tumble down and crush what's below. The box is 10"wide 6"deep 21" tall Plenty of space 2 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The babies will eat live baby brine shrimp. I wasn't able to transition the first batch them to frozen. My male has another brood in his mouth, so he will refrain from eating until he releases them (like for at least 3 weeks). It's simply remarkable. 4 Quote Link to comment

So far I have tried decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, and oyster feast . They went nuts for both but it was hard to tell if they actually ate either due to the size of the food and fish. 1 Quote Link to comment
