Actually, yes, I can believe it. You're a dedicated aquarist who is in tune with his animals.

That's the second one this year. Are you feeling ok? is it a one a month thing?

Ok I’m posting for you it’s just too enormous not to share ;Hilarious

That's all?

The rainbow went back home, it was as recovered as it could have gotten, but the green one is mine. Its 8" in diameter and 5" tall. Just imagine a base ball cap sitting in the tank.

It says 2ml of each every day as the “minimum” dose, what would you recommend? (That’s what i started with today)

Red Sea A & B is 2mL per 25 gallons or 0.8mL per 10 gallons

I’ve got about 25-26g of water volume, but I’m hesitant to actually use as much/as often as the manufacturer recommends. Going to start slow lol

I bet that would eat a fish if it got hungry

Sounds like a good plan

Haha my trachy is more voracious than my wrasses. She’s just growing outwards instead of squeezing sections like a normal trachy. I may need to put her on a diet. Moved the poor fungia yesterday because the trachy was almost covering its mouth.

Ok, caught back up, excuse the likes and laughs!
I have always found that small hints of cyano is a good indicator for using too much of these types of additives, I have tried a few but not the red sea ones.
The big tank is still all out of wack, nitrates 100 and phos over .5, the first thing I stopped when the tank started to cycle was the polyp booster I was using.

Tank looks great by the way.
Just taken.

Do we know for sure if cyano can utilize strictly aminos and carbs to grow?

Thank you sir!

I haven’t had any cyano in a long time, I dosed a chemiclean knockoff and it hasn’t made an appearance since. If any shows up I know what’s going on!

Sorry to hear about those parameters, it sounds like you borrowed @sfin52 ‘s canister filter

I don't know so no, I always run a bit high with my nutrients anyway, to dial in the drops per day with Polyp Booster I just looked each day until I saw cyano, drops as stated on the bottle, 7 days later cyano started to appear so I halved the drops per day and a little more appeared but stabilised after a few days.
The previous one was Coral Essentials Amino Gro, it was messy but that is how I knew the latest adjustment o try.
IMO yes it does fuel it.

In hindsight I think it showed up for me when I started dosing Fuel more frequently. Really interesting observations!

Can you believe I’ve kept this Goni alive for 9 months now

if it’s still doing well after year 2 that’s honestly all I could hope for

My LFS calls gonis "renta-corals" because nobody gets to keep them. Mine grow like gangbusters for 6 months. The next morning they are gone. Like clockwork. Acropora are so much easier IME.

New pics of the new snails, fish crop dusted just for you @living_tribunal

I’ve honestly been halfway expecting that to happen for months now, but it just keeps growing!
