FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

Your endless empathy my friend is truly a gift. I have scrolled through countless pages in our local Facebook groups in Texas of all of the full tank losses and it breaks my heart. I truly am thankful I was one of the lucky ones and aim to show my gratitude by helping others rebuild in our community.
Your empathy for the community is something we should all strive for Ty! God bless you my friend. This is exactly why I will continue to purchase from you!
 
Oh man, glad you’re ok Ty. We’ve had power outages that have lasted 2-3 days due to PGE rolling blackouts. I finally bought a generator last year and it’s saved my behind a few times already. Good luck Ty and everyone from Texas. California is rooting for you guys!!

Thanks bud! I’ve been eyeballing whole house generators. I see this as a reoccurring issue.

Well, I think it’s time to return to some normalcy. Coral pics! The pics are pre-snowmagedden.

Pengs HOTO ... can’t capture that neon blue but just imagine it burning your retinas.

hello Ty, did you ever figure out your phosphate issue? Still dripping Lacl?
I haven’t gotten to check the last couple days. It’s been a madhouse with everything going on and harboring family from the lack of utilities.

One interesting thing is corals looks a ton better.

Beautiful man and so glad all is well!
 
So the case of the rising phosphate... don’t laugh too hard at me. I must have accidentally knocked the portion control tab on my Apex Feeder when I refilled it last. Last night I saw it dump a monstrous amount of pellets into the tank. It’s been doing that 2x a day so that might explain my crazy high phosphate fight the last couple weeks.

BC Bubblebath Unicorn was junk as a small frag but man... as a colony... one of my favorites. It’s the acro version of the ugly duckling.

So purdy! Love the pics!

I might have missed it in the thread or more than likely distracted by the SPS **** but any tips for SPS nipping angels? Or do I just live with lack of daytime PE? :D

Thank you!

They just give up eventually in my experience once they realize there’s nothing to gain from the nipping. But I’ve had them many years now so you may have to wait awhile. Also it helps to have a ton of acros so the nipping is dispersed.

Cool. Thanks!! I've only had the angel for a couple weeks and he seems to be nipping my larger colonies more than the small frags. Not too worried but just seeking any tricks of the trade!
 
Tenuis Tuesday!!! It’s a thing... I swear!

Is it me or do the Lady in Pink and Psycho Asylum look similar? So nice!

I thought the same when I posted them together like that and then ran to my frag tank to look. Honestly the psycho asylum has a better overall hue of pink and better polyp coloration in person but at the end of the day, half my tenuis collection starts looking the same to me sometimes. :p
