All our new babies are settling in...now we need identifications and placement tips.

This guy is so beautiful

I think he's trying to escape:

This one is not happy....yet I hope:

Hard to get pics of these:

Moved these lower this morning :

In case I missed one:

Oh! The beautiful nems!:

RFA decided to tuck himself into a corner in the shade, hope he comes back out:

Wow, I'm feeling so blessed!

Yes! Same here! I don't know how you keep up with your tanks with everything on your plate and still welcome us in and bestow gifts! Thank you so much again!

Will the Kenya pop back up? And can you offer any suggestions/advice on the placement of everything?

Kenya will do good. They are pretty indestructible. Most of your lps are going to be med light med low flow. Your zoas (knew Steve would slide some in) can go virtually anywhere. All sps will be high light med high flow. Gorgs are good with med light. Med to high flow.

Ok. For the stuff from me.

Super old acros. All same, but the purple and green one. No name on either. One big chunk is from the macro tank. Will color back up and look like Frank and Jason’s big chunk. Smaller ones were under all blue, so they will lighten up some in mixed light.

Shroom is a Florida ric I collected
zoas on barnacle cluster are Florida zoas I collected. As are the 3-4 heads on the triangle piece of tile.

other zoas are gobstoppers, utter chaos, vamps, and radioactive dragon eye.

Rfa I collected.

Old strain of bta I have had forever.

gorgs are as follows
Purple frilly
Tan candelabra
Purple plume
purple ribbon

bicolor hammer

Indo gold torch.

I may have missed something lol. If so, let me know.

For the stuff above, Jason covered most. The Florida zoas can go in high light and high flow or low light and low flow. They don’t care. Utter chaos can do high light also. Rest are best on bottom of tank.

Indo gold torch was in medium flow and mid to low light. The more random the flow, the longer it’s tents got.

Bicolor hammer was mid tank in about 250 par and medium random flow.

Acros you can blast them lol.

Florida ric, lower light and medium flow. It was collected at about 80’.

all those gorgs can take a ton of flow and light. 4000 gph actual return flow, 2x gyre 4K at 70% alternating pulse and 4x mp60 on 60% reef crest is what they were in when in macro tank. It has a 1.5” standing wave at any point in time lol.

Bta will probably want high light and medium/high flow.

RFA will more than likely move to sand or stay under a rock if it gets light from reflection on glass. It was collected at almost 100’.

I should have brought rewind. Can’t believe little Schitt took to her name 100% and was one lol. Was wonderful to meet y’all and we will have to do it again for sure.

Was great meeting you and Little Chit Steven, and still cant believe all the coral you gave us! Cant wait till we all get together again.

Me too Jason, you guys are all so awesome! Think it took 5 hours to get everything tucked in last night and it required a call to Frank as well just to make sure we were doing the right thing

Wow, thank you @F i s h y and @Eagle_Steve !
A little overloaded and overwhelmed....we'll have to print this! ;Hilarious
Love, love, love all the colors now! I'm finally feeling like we have the beginnings of a reef!

Lots going on in there now!

DiefsReef · Feb 14, 2022

I got to spend last week on the road with my wife visiting family and friends. It was the best time we've had together in some time. Work/Life takes over and we sometimes forget what really makes us happy.

Love you with all my heart @TDiefRN !!
Happy Valentines Day!

TDiefRN · Feb 14, 2022

Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart

I tested Po4 and No2 last night. Wow what a difference in tanks.
Been feeding twice as much for last two weeks.

Frag
Po4 .00 No3 0
120
P04 .02 No3 2
Cube
P04 .90 N03 20

Do I need to worry about the P04 in the Cube?? Everything looks happy and healthy..
@fishguy242 and @Lost in the Sauce I dumped some skim-mate from the cube in the frag tank to help boost without chemicals. Will see how that works. (Corlas all look good today in the frag qt)

Lost in the Sauce · Feb 17, 2022

Honestly if everything is happy and healthy in the cube, I wouldn't worry about .9. maybe not optimal, but if it works, it Works.

Do you know where the elevate PO4 is coming from in the cube?

You may notice that Coraline growth slows down but that's really a non issue to me.

I think its coming from the Flake/Pellet food
Edit: guess it could be the frozen food instead, I am mixing in some frozen San Fran brine which I wasn't before.
