Bubba's SPS Journey

[Billldg]

I'll buy your G4's Bubba, LOL!!!

Why upgrade if the ones you are happy with are great? Only time I would upgrade is if power consumption is much less.

Because radion before the G3 was worthless, and G4 made the G3 basically trash. The G5 should basically alter reality as we know it.

Has there been any announcements of when the g5 will be released?

 

[Wrangy]

lol
I went with three 1 1/2” drains and four 3/4” returns.

Well if I had any doubts about going with Radion-T5 combo it's completely gone out the window now haha Dang that's a setup and a half!!

 

[TheReefKeeper]

Dang the timing. We were originally planning to be down there about now.

While I'm there any reef places I need to visit in the area? Planning to stop by WWC and TSA. Didn't know if there were others.

Don’t skip LRO I think they have some of the nicest stuff

Usually right after you buy the previous Generation at full price it seems. So judging by bubba's thread, any day now

(no)

How’s the rainbow fusion coming? @bubbaque

I agree. I still use AI Sol Blues on my display tank because they have worked so well for me. However, some of the leds are burning out. I have two spare units for parts. They just need to get me another 9 months until I get a new tank. I wont have enough AI Sol Blues so I will be going with Orphek Atlantiks.

If only I paid full price

Does not grow as always.

G5 not coming out in 2019, confirmed

I have loved the radions since first adding them. I am not sure how they compare to other as it’s the only ones I’ve used.

Current FTS of the new tank.

I went with a simple hanging method. I used L shaped aluminum and mounted it on the top of the canopy and just set the lights in the track. I’m sure you could add an extra wood lip on the inside of the canopy to adjust the lights to whatever height you want.

I have urchins but they don’t eat any of them.

Using same config.

Radion + t5 (only one per side)

Are you also using led bars at the sides?


Congrats for your corals and awesome pics.


Good luck

Well that happened quickly! My new tank has been up longer and you're making me look like a slouch Bubba.

@bubbaque Hows your tsa bubbleyum?

 

[Trevor40]

Your new setup is looking awesome, Bubba! Well done. Once day I would love to have G4 on my 240 gallon. So dang expensive so I will wait until I can sell hundreds of frags to pay for them.

 

[marco fish]

Looking tight @bubbaque you deserve all of the kind words and wisdom on this thread , WOW MAN

 

[bubbaque]

@bubbaque Hows your tsa bubbleyum?

Its just a small little frag.

 

[Fudsey]

Which in Bubba speak means a large colony not yet ready for fragging

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

Its just a small little frag.

I bought a frag of it this time last year and thought I killed it using bio pellets. About 6 months ago I noticed 2 surviving polyps and now there’s around 10 and it’s starting to spread out.

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

Oh, that may not kill vermatids as they can seal their little tubes shut. Some will get in and harm them and probably kill them.. But I would try to crack their shells to ensure they die in the dip.

OTHERWISE.... I use a DIY KZ Coral Snow to kill vermatids. It works by starving them out. You dose the Coral Snow, and they throw out their webs because of lots of stuff in the water (Chalk, or Calcium Carbonate) -- It's completely inert to the reef tank, and actually scrubs your water... BUT, it also gets stuck on vermatid webs, and they try to eat and starve out. You have to dose daily for a long time, but it works. They take 3-4 weeks to starve out.

Do you dose kz coral snow daily?
