Sabella's 450L mixed reef build thread

[Sabellafella]

ok, did you try Interceptor?

Lol i dont have an infestation of anything other then bubblealgae + turf algae. Its just this acro w.e was on it survived. Usually when i dip acros, i use prazipro along with a coral rx followup dip. Colonys i use bayer because i cant see inbetween branches. I have old interceptor though, you can make a dip out of it?!?

 

[Sabellafella]

Keep it goin bro, definitely a good follow...

Thanks buddy! Tons more to come, not even all sps either

 

[Sabellafella]

So ive done what a responsibly reefer should do today, instead of splurging at the lfs, pickedup some berghias that already layed eggs on the ride home

20 minutes, all 7 ate a huge 2 inch aiptasia

I must understood sorry, I thought the piece you were talking about was out of your tank and this is why I mentioned Interceptor.

your procedure for frags is spot on and should knock off most everything.

Also got this nice photosynthetic gorg, never had one before and always wanted one so why not. Its a nightmare trying to glue down

 

[CoralNerd]

Curious how much did you pay for the Berghia's?

I got 7 and the gorg for $110
But there really 20$ each and there so worth it. Last time i bought them, i got like 5 of them,and in 3-4months i sold about 30 of them off because im sure i ran out if aiptasia lol. Also have to take to consideration how many didnt make it or how many eggs the amphipods ate otherwise there would be hundreds.

 

[Sabellafella]

The ones i got are around a half inch, but i kno someone that breeds them in litterally a stagnant tank with nothing in it other then 4 frag plugs and a piece of pvc. Does a 500ml water change a day. They also lay eggs everyday and have a constant supply of aiptasia so im sure hes making decent money from it

 

[CoralNerd]

Someone told me you have to catch them and relocate on the rock near more aptasia as they don't move around much, have you experienced this?

Yes but not really, my other tank i had them in was just 1 rock structure, and i didnt see them for a month but started the see the aiptasia decline. In my tank now, they all havent moved from were they are yet so well see. Eventually im going to have to move them, they have trouble being on sand and theres noway there going to make it to the otherside of my tank without being eaten at night by something.
Berghias are more of a spend 200$ and hope for the best because no matter how hard you look, you might not see or find them

found this in my camera card, too awesome not to post

arc firework lookin nice

[Sabellafella]

To be honest i though the arc firework was a waste. I wasnt going to take it from my friend due to him having dinos+stn so i cut the largest salvageable piece i could and gave the rest away. Wound up growing BEAUTIFULLY and the growth structure is sick. One of the hardest acros to cut, i chopped my fingers up bad with bone cutters to get this frag so it better be worth it!

That arc firework is crazy nice, the harder to cut the better, shows how strong this coral can be.

I couldnt believe how strong it was, i couldve stepped on it and it wouldnt have broke. Its byfar the nicest daylight acro ive ever seen in my life, so simple but so unique

 

[larangcon]

You're right about simplicity, the color is so contrasting but complementing at the same time, this acro should have been named the True Superman acro.

Great tank and thread. Back in the day I used to go for blues off of Montauk, lots of fun. A quick question, what do you think of the Gyre, I'm having big indecision about power heads?
