Awesome man. I can see all the pictures.

Can you update me on what you are dosing now? Everything the same?

Still aiming for the same params?

luke33 · Jul 27, 2017

Everything is still the same Cody, no change. I might change out the lights to led since I hate ati, have all the led's sitting in the closet.

I will be waiting for that update if you do that. How long do you think it would take to see an update? 2 weeks?

It's tough to say, I went from mh to led back in 09 and had awesome results, but I'm pretty nervous. I'm hoping things go well and I'm going to be using a lot of led's to avoid shadowing and to keep intensity spots out of the equation. But my guess is 2-3 mths to see any results.

If your talking about the last pic, it's rr orange passion. It's grown into a nice colony.

Hey Cody, sorry man, things are pretty crazy right now! So the exciting news is we are having our first child and I got a promo at work....woohoo! The not so great news is we are more than likely going to be moving a few times as we are going to build a new home which will be baby safe vs where we are now, so its going to be a not so fun year! But the end result will be great. What that means is the tank is going to get shut down for a year or two more than likely, so I have a tank full of sps colonies that I will be selling soon. I'll try and get some updated pics as everything has grown huge in the last 6mths. The RR OP is huge and I have not cut it in a very long time. It has a good 10 branches you could cut right now but I just hate cutting anything.

Wow ... Congratulations! Happy for you and your soon to be growing family. The arrival of the little one will be your best frag yet.

I'm sad to say the corals are all gone, a reef store picked them all up. I'll be moving here at the end of the month and by the end of next weekend there will be no water in boxes at the house, very sad time! I'm not sure if it will be six months, two years or never again with a reef tank. It will be odd not having a tank up as I've had reef tanks running for around 15 yrs or so.

Hope your doing well!

Great news about the baby and new job.When is the baby due?That is sad news about shutting down the tanks.Maybe in the near future you can start over.Did you sell your equipment also?
