FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[Ryan Friman]

It looks more like a hawkings in the one Marie7 linked next to the green one. But it looks to be right next to the setosa in the fish feeding video.

 

[FarmerTy]

Love that setosa. Is that a hawkins blue echinata, middle left of the tank?

Hey Ryan,

I do have a Hawkins echinata but it's just a frag right now. My colony did not make the move when I bought a new house and moved the tank. The frag is right above the large Frag Farmers Red Robin stag colony that is above the setosa.

If you are looking at that really blue colony on the right edge of the left rock structure, its an Oregon tort colony.

Oh no, that's a random mariculture colony I picked up. Its like a teal blue sarmentosa.

The Hawkins is above it and to the left... Barely poking out behind the frag farmers Red Robin stag colony.

To me, the colony in both videos next to the setosa reminds me of my hawkings. I love yours. I did see something that was peeking out in the start of the other video that you were probably talking about. I consider those real sticks since they do not have many polyps. Those are the SPS that I am having trouble with. So, I bought a MP40 and put my hawkings pretty close to direct flow and high light. It is still alive so I think I am doing something right.

The smooth skins are definitely on the more difficult side so if yours is doing well, you're doing something right!

I am kind of worried. I broke it off the plug. so, I stuffed it into some epoxy. I am hoping that does not effect it. Have you ever taken a frag and submerged it into expoxy? will it be able to encrust, if that us what it does in the first palce?

You'll be fine. It'll start growing over that epoxy.

I was just worried because I put it in pretty deep. If it starts growing over the epoxy, I will jump for joy.

It will. It won't skip a beat.

Hey what's that piece on the bottom left corner of your 2nd video?

 

[Reefpuck]

Btw you need to change your signature that says "No water changes...ever!!!". If I remember correctly...you had done a few water changes recently when your RO water had high TDS readings.
