No clue. :/

This is a good torch flow.

With some tweaking of my Nero Wave pump was able to get this.

Even if it's just a 1 direction flow though about this strength is a good flow for torches.

Morning pics. Blues are still on

I’m going to do a top off and glass scrub today.

 

[James_O]

Topped off, glass scrubbed, and rearranged some frags.

FTS:

Moved the volcano palys and the gold & pink palys up the rock work and fairly close to each other:

Moved the green zoas up near the surface, closeish to the big colony:

Forest fire:

Skittlebomb:

Moved the sad looking clown zoas up on the rock work:

BIG drop!

 

[James_O]

All the coral seem happy in their new locations!

The golden goose zoas did get a big jostled around, so that’s why they aren’t fully opened yet.

The paly pair (volcano and P&G) are opened up and happy.

I can’t wait until the P&G palys grow in, just like the big colony!!

You can see the absolute sheer size of ruffles (my orange/blue ricordea) from that top shot.

I’m still amazed at the color of the torch.

@Mibu, this is what freaks me out about keeping hammers/torches:

They just randomly shrink up and give me a heart attack. ;Shifty ;Facepalm

Left side is splitting. Get used to that. It's difficult. But you have to endure.

The left side is splitting also? Thought it already split, as there's 2 heads on that side.

Its finishing a split.

see how the tissue is connected?

Once it fully splits it will be 2 separate skeletons and tissue.

They often retract at night.

Don't move them or disturb them, keep your params stable. Eventually they'll tuck in less most likely.

Awesome, thanks!

Another big dump:

One of the torches tentacles is splitting. I think it looks funny, but it’s completely normal, lol.

Them favias sweepers come out when there’s food!

Big colony caught themselves some mysis:

My giant turbo snail somehow managed to knock off the golden goose zoas:

Clown zoas:

Paly duo:

Look at all of that coralline algae!!!

And I was wrong on the Duncan. I counted 4 new heads!

It also caught some mysis. These things love to eat:

I am glad everyone is doing well!

Thanks! I always like to see new coral growth. It’s encouraging.

Might want to get some chemi-pur elite. Or set up a phosban reactor.

 

[James_O]

Mr. Goby says hi!!

(he always turns that way when I try to get a picture, so I can never get a side shot, lol)

Ooh, ok! What will the chemipur elite do for me? I’ve heard of it, and I know it’s a filter media, but I don’t know what it does.

I am noticing some aggression between the dottyback and the goby.

Is this behavior normal? They seem to have territory’s: The goby gets the left side and the dottyback gets the cave under the Duncan and some of the rock work.
