My pectinia had some crazy sweepers the other day they were at least eight inches long!

I have the same tank. Can you talk to me about equipment and dosing your doing?

Tank is beautiful, unlike mine.

Hello thank you! Would love to see some pics of you Solana!

What exactly would you like to know? I use a nanoreefsystems Skimmer, intank media basket with carbon, phosguard, and floss. Six bulb Current t5 fixture. I dose 30 ml of b-ionic alk and calcium every evening, and about three nights a week add a capful of area51 phyto. Let me know if you want to know anything else. Thanks again!

Looking good, did you grow that Chalice from a frag?

ReefPops · Jan 7, 2013

Sweet setup! Love the pics.

Very nice tank!

Is the pyhto the only thing you feed your corals? The reason I ask is because of your awesome chalice colony bottom right of the tank.

Hey thanks I did it was a 5 eye frag about three years ago and I have fragged it several times as well. It really needs to be fragged again but I have been too busy. I have a feeling it is going to break off in pieces this time. In the past it would just pop off the rock but now it has really grown over.

Thank you! Every now and then I add some powdered reef food that you mix with tank water, maybe once a month. I forget the name brand of it though. That big alien eye chalice is one that really never has feeders out at night every now and then I will see them but hardly ever.

I have the same issue with my twilight zone chalice. It's my favorite, and eats very so often but never has feeders out. Slightly annoying. At least it's growing and not receding.

My blennies always stay in different spots one on each side the same rock. For whatever reason they were shacked up together the other night....

The look on their faces make me laugh, like they just got busted!
