FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[SkiCatTX]

Forgot I took these before the holiday break. A bunch of new goodies I’ll be growing out for the new year. Forgive their newness... took pics within a couple hours of dipping and glueing to new plugs. They’ve colored up nicely once acclimated.

Nice!

That packaging looks familiar... I love the RR Raven. It’s so bright.

 

[FarmerTy]

Thanks guys! No, just as good... @therman treasure trunk. He’s got the goods.

I love that thing. Like obsessed... I might apply to marry it... weirder things have happened in Texas I’m sure.

I’m never disappointed with @therman ’s stuff. I just received another package from him today.

Can I ask what you use to dip your new frags in Ty

I use potassium chloride... in the form of water softener pellets at Home Depot. I used to be more diligent about measuring exact amounts but I usually just mix it with tank water until dissolved and slowly pour into the container with the new frags until I see things jumping off the plugs like liquid fire.

When you did worry about measuring how much did KCl did you dissolve in how much tank water?? Just curious.

do you find this solution works for LPS & softies?

 

[panic]

Nice! From Battle Corals?

Edit- nope, I see it above now

I think it was like 2 teaspoons per gallon to raise the potassium 400 ppm to burn those little jerks off your frags.

Torches get ticked... but I do it anyways... just not as long. What are softies?

I calculated back so about the same here, half a teaspoon to a litre of water.

Very nice! What are the millis to the top left and bottom right of the RR Raven?

 

[mfollen]

Yea RR raven has such rich color. Good batch there!
