Saltgator's 240 Build

Is it only the frags on your frag rack? If so, they might be playing war on each other...
I added a chili pepper monti last week and the thing bleached out on me like no coral ever has before overnight. I moved it and no it appears to be fine. I thing my Frogspawn got it even thought I've never had the problem before.

Thanks Ryan. I added the blue digi and highlighter Thursday and just rearranged the frag rack before I took pics. You could be right, so I'll rearrange them again. I appreciate it bud.

Keep us posted. I talked to a few club members today and I think when I epoxied the monti the chemicals/heat of the epoxy hurt the coral...

Wow. Sorry to hear that. I'm already keeping a eye on the rack, I've been in the reef room multiple times today just to see if all is OK,lol.

Ha ha! I appreciate it. My frags coming in from the live sale will be watched severely! I might just have to buy a web cam just to keep an eye out,lol. Just FYI (hoping I'm not jinxing my sps, knocking on wood now), but the blue digi and the highliter have been looking great and the bonsai has stopped it's burnt/stn tips.

That's awesome news man. I hope they pull through for ya.

Just figured I'd tell on myself and see what y'all say. I'm going back to LEDs!! I lost my mind going back to mh. Look for new pics of LEDs by next week. Until then, here's my frag rack. A few from Aqua SD (TDF,red planet, candlelight).

Haha, just realized my signature still says All T5. No, it was too expensive to make it to Florida, Im going next year for sure.

 

[skinz78]

Haha nice! Why did you choose to change back? What brand you going with?

Those frags look huge!

Huge frags or Zoom??? Ha. Some are 2 inches. No difference in growth, already changing bulbs, temp swings. Never had the temp swings in my 1st mh setup, but I do now. I purchased 4 155e reef radiance fixtures with Rick's layout and 90 degree optics. Your using reef breeders right?

Yep, I'm getting great growth at the moment.

Are you still all t5? Even though Miami is only 2.5 hours at most away, I don't do crowds. Its hard enough doing live sales and trying to get a clam or stick, let alone go to Miami and be crowded. Ha ha

Thanks. I dreamed of a big boy reef and this one became a reality. I'll be updating more pics soon with my switch back to LEDs.

Update: 3 of my 4 LEDs are up. Running @ 40%/30% to allow corals to adjust. Sorry for the terrible pics (as usual) and the DIY upside down trap (trying to bring a rbta back from whatever it didn't like).

No pics but my female Picasso is guarding her eggs (yep, another batch). Funny thing is her only target is my male blue jaw trigger. She is pushing him all over. No concern for the tangs or foxface (trig might have tried to get in on some eggs is my only guess).
