How many years has it been since the last change? The house move? Can't wait to see!!!

I'm assuming you will post a pic of the tank later.

Yeah, 7 years ago was the last time I setup that display. So it’ll be exciting to redo it.

Haha, it’s just boring rock but I’ll try to get a picture.

I’m like that long lost cousin that comes back into town out of nowhere and mooches up your time and then disappears again.

The baby torches aren’t so baby-ish anymore.

Cherry picking is fun when you find Eclectus mushrooms like these.

The color combo on this one in close detail is spectacular. I wish we had acros like these.

Thanks Nick! Next up, I want to spawn some acros! Wish me luck!

Thanks bud! I’m trying! Despite the corals wanting to fight me sometimes.

A gadgillion cultured torches, a lot through budding but a majority are from a spawning event last year.

Now THAT is a torch garden. I'd love to see some nice video of that just waving in the current.

Did you get any unique hybrids from the spawning event?

I’m working on that request!

Standard parameters I feel these days.
Ca 420ppm
Mg 1320ppm
Alk 7.5-8.0 dKh
Nitrate - 10ppm
Phosphate - 0.1 ppm

I don’t feed the torches. Just light and fish poop.

I’ve spied a couple variations but haven’t documented anything officially. I was waiting until they were all mostly full grown and in final color form before making any comparisons.

Has anybody figured out why some mushrooms will bounce? This Eclectus we imported started bouncing but no idea how/why it even happened. Especially with ones right beside it not bouncing at all.

That blue bomber is gorgeous! Looks kind of like a horrida?

As it’s been growing out I see the resemblance for sure.
