Tired Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 That's a gorgeous coral, I'm sure you'd get a lot for it. Maybe frag off a head to keep? 2 Quote Link to comment

The heads are almost split. Maybe another month. I'd like to frag it up, keep a head for myself and sell the rest. 4 Quote Link to comment
Picogoby Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Everyone’s so excited about the torch (hate to tell you in my local Shop UK it’s only £20 for 2 heads), but I am loving that blue lepto! Quote Link to comment

Will get a pic for you next week when I go to get some bits and bobs for my daughter first tank....... your blue lepto however would frag up to £££‘S. Always find it really strange the big difference in price for corals and fish across the Atlantic. Your “gold/rare” is our “bread and butter” and vice versa.!?!?! I hope now Indo is back open for exports, things should become a bit cheaper and easier to find. Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 hey bud, saw you dropping by the other day on my thread...how are things going in this tank? can't wait for my torch to grow like this one, one of the best-looking colony in any nano. 1 Quote Link to comment

In the same boat, suddenly I found myself searching for unique clams. 1 Quote Link to comment
dferrari13 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I was always told that you can't keep a clam in a 10 gallon tank.....against this advice, I've tried with a maxima clam but failed twice, so I didn't add one again. I'm interested to see if you can keep one.....following Quote Link to comment

Hey Mitten. I peek at your tank often. It looks great. I was/am considering a 30 long and was looking at yours to figure out how I would plan it. I've taken a turn now though and I am planning a Elos 36 gallon with a sump in the fall. Starting to collect parts now. This 10 gallon is doing okay. Nothing amazing. I have been battling some hair algae for a couple months now. Mostly brought on by some slip ups in my maintenance. It gets tough in the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment

Water changes, temp, parameters etc. There is no room for less than perfect. I moved mine to a friends tank, I kept in here for about 6 months than knew that I was going to be slipping some on maintenance. 2 Quote Link to comment

uwdanno Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Starting a new build. Planning on the Elos 36 gallon. Sounds like they become available again in August. Ahead of that, I’ve got the scape design done and the rock is in buckets cycling. Tank will be mixed with SPS up high and LPS - torches and goni’s down low 6 Quote Link to comment

An ELOS 36 gallon is going to be really nice! What drew you to that system in particular? I really like your aquascape concept and the open space. What's new with the 10 gallon reef? Are you planning to move these coral into the future 36gal, or keep this one going too? Quote Link to comment
