RSM June Update

Nice!

Nice growth on the SPS.

so i am sure you all will think I am a moron but the growth on the back of tank, the circular lesions. Exactly what is that I keep seeing in the tanks??

I apologize for the stupid question but i dont come across it in my readings.

Thanks

/\ the circles are Coralline algae its good algae unless you don't like how it looks

It is called Coralline algae and is from calcium and alk in the water. It is a sign of a more mature tank but should start to grow within two months of a tank setup. It grows faster on the smooth surfaces like glass and powerheads, but is all over my rock as well.

Looking good. How did you attach your sps? (Glue?)

superglue gel and aquamend putty, most are on a frag plug that I cut away at.

Sucks you lost your leather man! What do you plan on having as a new centerpiece? Whats that in the back right hand corner? Purple monti cap?:

yeah, that thing didn't make it. I really have no idea, haven't had time to think much about it. Something wavy? something that pops, for sure. Ideas are welcome!

The thing above the frog? Yep, monti cap from Awesome Aquatics aka mvite

Very nice!!

I think a shark skull with a pirate hat should be the new centerpiece

now your on to something! That would really finish off my tank, along with the 3 tangs I have planned and the shark that is soon to come

What Is your watt to gallon ratio?

It is going to be 3.8 W/gallon. 29 gallon display 5 gallon filtration. 110W of lighting. so almost 4/gallon
