I can’t stop

I picked up a couple new tenuis yesterday at our Houston area marine and reef expo.

Better pic of the name. It’s going to be really special.

Those will be nice when they get big
and you can send me a frag or two.

Couldn’t make it yesterday.

Looks like you scored some good stuff.

 

[Gregg @ ADP]

Are you running AI Hydra 52s?

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

Yes sir
2-52 HD’s 16” above the water

Nice! I’m not sure I have the guts to run that setting yet!

Maybe I’ll start bumping them up, though.

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

Whats your tank size tank, distance above the water, and schedule?

Whats your tank size tank, distance above the water, and schedule?

I’ve got AI Hydras running on a bunch of different tanks, so it varies.

On average they’re 12” above water. Avg tank height 24”. I’ve got a couple tanks of 30” and 36” high with 52s. Tanks are all mixed reef. Especially with the taller tanks, I try to zone everything. My schedules tend to ramp up over 12-14 hrs starting with 5-10% on the blues, and peaking for a few hours with blues maxing out at 90% or so, UV maxing at about 50%, white at about 50%.

I also schedule some deep dips toward the end of peak and as it goes down...I’ll take everything down below 30% for 20 min (total time down and then back up) 3-4 times over the course of a couple of hours.

Kinda thinking on the taller tanks to maybe start nudging up the blues up over 100, and bringing the UV up a bit, and see what happens.

Dang, way to get the most out of the overdrive!

My 52hds are 12 AWL. I feel like I would nuke everything if I ran that high.

Love your tank. Great job.

Don’t change it too fast. I’m sure you already know that but, I needed to say it.

 

[Gregg @ ADP]

Yeah, I’ll probably go up 10% through the peak hours every 3 weeks or so

 

[SeaDweller]

If you have the space and money for it, why not? Everything looks great!

Crap
My new no name fell off the rock I glued it to and is now lost forever probably. It could of been a contender.

I know that feeling too well... which piece is it?

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

It’s 1 of 2 no names that I picked up this past weekend at our Houston area marine and reef expo. Another well known vendor bought both as well.
The first one is the one that grew fins and tried to swim away

Do you still have this tenuis? Do you have a recent photo of it. I found a opportunity to buy a frag. I'm curious to see what a colony looks like.

I don’t. I lost that one and several other nice Tenuis after I used flucozanole back in 2019.

Lost a few tenuis after a fluc treatment too. Still have some bryopsis, but dealing with it by hand as I'm afraid to dose more fluc.
