JF Homewrecker Frag growouts

[xiaoxiy]

Mine is doing well again after stalling after a couple frags were cut then I had to change my lights. Seems like she’s no longer in her “unhappily married for 20 years” attitude and back to the happy homewrecker we all love.

Good try, passing a green slimer off as a Homewrecker…


Jk.

Kinda looks like a green slimer in those terrible pics. This one isn’t much better. This new iPhone sucks at taking coral pics.

You're thinking of @ScottB

He set up another system just for them (and overhauled the town). Interestingly, he has been banned from selling frags on Craig's List. He is also no longer permitted to fly to China, Jamaica and Canada. That may be relevant.

Scott sold me a Princess Peach and then sent a Mexican Turbo. He refunded me immediately after I explained to him that they were different SPS.

I'm looking forward to Charlie posting 42 pictures of Keanu Reeves and only 12 of Tom Cruise.

Folks, I'm obviously joking about @ScottB

I love clever jokes…..so I got to know what the 42 Keanu/12 Tom means….bc I got nothing.

Close to an AB+ spectrum. I run a whiter spectrum for photos and then post-edit white balance.


Lights on for 13 hours. 1 hour blue only ramp at sunset and sunrise. 8 hours of AB+ at 80%, and 1 hour of AB+ at 100% for 1 hour around 3PM. Acros get about 280-330 PAR for majority of day with a 350-450 PAR peak for 1 hour.

Honestly, I'm finding that elevated PO4 at >0.1 has made a huge difference in growth and coloration. I used to be a believer of running lower PO4 for coloration, but had to increase it to beat off dinos. Now I'm a believer of elevated PO4.

Haven't you found less growth or carbonate consumption with phosphates above 0.1?

That’s a lot for one post

Nope! Things seem to do great.

I do market them as a "slimer/HW hybrid". And to be fare, I charge by the pound. Great value.

As to P. Peach and the turbo, I mean, who doesn't make that mistake now and again? And again. Lastly, those overseas air traffic controllers don't know what they are missing. My local ATC folks would be happy for me to bust airspace somewhere else though.

@Rick5 just what are you drinking out of the sippy cup these days?

Got this frag from Kenny(POTO) in Dec 2021. here is the pic in Feb 5th, 2022.

Here it is today (8/26/2022). So six months of growth.

Are you still running the G5’s?

Yes. The tank has 5 Radion Gen 5 pro blues and 1 400 watt radium halide.pretty happy with the growth and coloration of the corals from the G5s.

I do have an ATI straton on its way to try over the tenuis side of the tank.

Gen 5 pro blue?

Gen 5 pro blue?

My bad. It’s XR30 gen 5 blues on AB+ setting.

Gotcha. Your HW looks amazing. I just recently switched to the g6 pros. I hope my hw likes them as much as yours does.

Good thing it’s a 2017 astronaut

I think that frag is astronomically gargantuan and thanks for the helpful context. That astronaut might also serve as a nice future reference for growth documentation.

You have those available on Etsy, right?

Fortunately I found them on Etsy, unfortunately they come unpainted and I have hands like Michael j fox
