That was literally one of a kind twin scoly’s, that split in my tank. So I don’t have any more, sorry. Supposedly scoly’s are very fraggable, but I’m too poor to buy up scoly’s and chop them up to test. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

With Australia threatening to shut down, we may only be able to propagate them by fragging before long. Also, apparently I need to keep an eye on the Mitten Reef for future coral purchases. 3 Quote Link to comment

But that being said, if his Mitten Floyd frag is still alive, definitely counts as a church cult thing 😂 2 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Still here, not much is happening with the tank. Acros are showing good sign of growth, expecting a box from a friend next month. In the meantime, scoly’s!! 6 5 Quote Link to comment

All put together yet? house is mostly done for now. the major reno was done before fall last year, whole kitchen redo, new wood floor and refinishing old wood floor. Our designer did a blog on our project here: https://www.timestwodesigncompany.com/post/render-to-reality-englewood-drive-kitchen I just finished tiling the hearth today, had left it as bare concrete since they demo’s the floor last spring 😅 5 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Just a small acros proof of progress Last night blurry pic 2/17 Rack update, even the beach bum is gaining some colors. It’s been gray for a long time. this digi is having its best colors and PE for me I did lose the two torches last wk, yes, that included my Aussie gold. It was a sudden melt, idk why, can only suspect bacteria infection, because the two new scoly’s I tried to introduced both died in a similar way. Its a big bummer, for such loss. I’m totally ready to switch gear back to acros, euphyllia has not been kind to me, ugh. 7 Quote Link to comment

Would love to cook in that kitchen.. well done🤙... 2 1 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 new clam - peachy 🍑 the one acro that I’ve kept most of my attention on has been putting on some serious growth. Most shots had been topdown, but this really shows the new, recent growth best 8 3 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Damn, that's a really pretty tridacnea, the scoly is looking incredible too. My tort just started acting like a tort itself, all I needed to do was drop a 20lb glass lid on top of it and fracture it in a few dozen places. These animals are so weird, glad your SPS are bouncing back! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I don’t remember seeing that you got scolys that melted, but you said your torches don’t behave. That’s about how my record with acanthos is going. They look great for a couple of weeks and then look pissed and then die. Haven’t figured them out yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

All photos are straight from iphone, untouched and unedited. Trying to show that different light settings can affect the outcome of your image, sometimes drastically. ok, so my glass is dirty, 🤷♂️ Hydra32HDs 14000K (60%); OR3 Blue+ on Hydra32HDs 14000K (60%); no OR3 Blue+ Hydra32HDs 12000K (60%); no OR3 Blue+ Current settings: Hydra32HDs 13500K (60%); OR3 Blue+ on. 10 hours midday light at this setting. 5 2 Quote Link to comment
