Thanks for taking the time to check everything out...its a long thread lol...sorry I dont post much about my tank...not really a huge equipment guy...I run an 8 bulb ATI T5 with 2 blue reefbright LEDS...bulb combo is 6 blue+ 1 coral+ and a fiji PURP...I have 3 mp40 and about to add the 4th one, I run them all on reef crest full blast...I have a huge ATB 1050 skimmer, GFO and a carbon reactor with BRS media...I use a bubble mag dosser and dose 2 part b ionc alk and cal...Tunze ATO..all controlled by an Apex controller...I keep a large amount of fish mainly anthais which I feed about 4-5 times a day random frozen food or pellets..they then in return feed my coral...years ago I would hand feed my LPS but I have way to much coral these days to do it and got burnt out (if you can it is good to feed a few times a week) my display is a custom 120 with a 40 breeder as a sump...I believe long term stability is the most important thing to keeping coral thriving...I do a 5 gallon water change about 3 times a week...I feel the smaller more frequent water changes create less swings and allows me to pull out all the un needed waist from feeding constantly...I like to run high nutrient import/export keeping my nitrates between 10-20 for best color...hope that answered some of your questions.
I am not a huge Favia gut but lately they are so nice they have been growing on me...I got this one from a buddy and had always loved his colony, when I stopped by the other night he had a frag and hooked it up
...if you can get it pick it up for sure...its a nice one...good luck!
Thanks!
Thanks! I am really digging the Orenji look alike a lot...its been one of those ones you stop and look at every time you pass the tank lol
Thanks bro!!!
yeah I just got it a few days ago...it was given to me by a buddy...he was like "here I know you can make this thing grow" lol...I was taking a pic of something next to it and snapped one of it while I was close...was surprised how much detail it had for being so small.
Thanks!!! that would be a lot of fun to be able to photograph a collection like yours...you NJ guys have a lot of heat over there
Wow! Blue is my favorite color in coral...and in most things for that matter. That is gorgeous! I want a frag if/when you frag it.I have a thing for blue corals with glowing eyes...hopefully the black around the eyes will start to show more...I need to get a top down of this one, you really cant see the black well from this angle
Thanks! I am really enjoying that one as it colors up
Yeah same here...something about blue and pink corals get me going...what you need to do is just come down here and hand pick from my collection
