TheKleinReef Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 no leaks. and growth is getting insane in the temp tank! Ca/alk consumption increased 5ml each in just a week. frag tank passed the leak test, and was drained today. it'll be re-plumbed this weekend. ORA nana and ORA hawkins is growing like mad. red planet... not so much, it's lost some of its green and is a nice pure red. not sure if that's because of too much light. Link to comment

The red planet is red with a lot of light and green with less light, at least that's the way it goes for me! Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 The red planet is red with a lot of light and green with less light, at least that's the way it goes for me! hm. is there a "best of both" lighting level? i'll have to experiment with it once it's big enough to go into the 65.

frags Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 hm. is there a "best of both" lighting level? i'll have to experiment with it once it's big enough to go into the 65. mine has the leading edges that are in the direct light which in return they are red, but the part that is encrusted is under an overhang and its very green, you get the best of both worlds Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Moved everything into the new tank. Pics soon once everything is settled. Link to comment

Arkayology Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 you have no idea. i could read what you, nanotopia, metrokat, rehype, asureef, chadf, and medred (there's more, i just don't feel like remembering more) write all day everyday.

TheKleinReef Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Your not too shabby yourself. I really enjoy the pics of your aquaculture room. I want something similar some day. i made a goal when i first started this hobby to learn something new everyday. its been 2 years and i feel as if i haven't even scratched the surface. i hope i can keep this room running. depending on whether or not i get a DI cross country/track and field coaching job i may have to take the tank down and put everything into storage until i stabilize my life. senior year problems..
