Watched a full hour on flow from BSR YouTube. Jesus it was mind numbing but I did learn a few things. So going to do some tinkering with then pump n wavemaker later... My god lockdown is boring ...

Murphs_Reef Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Going good. Few images under white light. Duncan has 3 new large polyps that are about the same size as the original now The Monty has started to grow well and polyps seem to be doubling. The YCG sites either under or on top of it. But Monty seems to be fine with it. Sand is a bit snoty still but not as bad as last week... 1 Quote Link to comment

Does this have a name? Been trying to look for it online but no luck. Mine looks like this: I glued it the wrong way though, but it's now encrusted to the rock. 🤔 Yes. 😊👍 @Grimeseither of you two get a name on that piece? I only just remembered the question. Is it montipora hirsuta? Quote Link to comment

Murphs_Reef Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 This bad lad is back in the display for a bit 1 Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) So the Emerald crab has been in the display since Friday night he is doing pretty well and not shown any signs of being a zoa murderer this time. But there is a good stock of algae in the rock for him to go at 👍🏼 Edited November 22, 2020 by Grimes Update Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 I have read that it's a bad idea, talked to people who tell me it's a bad idea BUT.... I have glued on my GSP and attached Caulerpa Taxifolia to the back area of my main live rock display. The idea is to keep it there where I have no real coral or anything of interest for that matter. When ever I see either of them growing toward the side or front I will prune away. The idea is that I don't want a 2d display and that there is interest all the way around the tank, framing the expensive great looking coral in the prime areas 1 Quote Link to comment
